However, since you can generally get a decent deal from someone who has no real idea of what they're selling, it's a mixed bag. It's still terribly funny, though. ;) Robyn M @ Robyn Moore @ http://www.alveus.com/kbrm/robyn.html @ You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. - S.C. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 13:21:45 -0500 From: MacSuirtain Subject: Alloy: Light Some Candles, Chant Some Chants! I've been called back for a second interview on Monday at The Eurasia Foundation. If I get this job, I'll still be based in DC, but I'll spend two weeks of every month somewhere out in the former Soviet Union (they have 12 field offices, so it would be a trip to a different city, in one of 8 NIS countries. Fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed. And, for people on this side of the pond - if you happen to be a viewer of Homicide, look for me on Det. Stivers' desk tonight - she keeps a photo of her and me there - it's been there since October, but I only found out on Tuesday. I've been a weekly fixture on a network tv show for months and never knew it! Somebody call my agent! :-) Hyped up and hoping to employed by this time next week!!! Cheers, Melissa - -- Melissa R.

I couldn't help but notice your post to John.. I had the same response in Paris when I would stumble with the French.. as long as I was trying.. the shopkeepers and normal people were most helpful and friendly. Granted.. there was the odd waiter who had his snoot in the air when I would try and order something.. but for the most part.. I had a great time.. for the record.. Ciao for now..
