I applied for The Dream Job.

It was in Australia.

I didn't get a response for ages.

I gave up on it.

I got a response offering me an interview.

The interview is in London.

This Saturday.

I can't afford the flight.

I've had to decline.

Gutted.

I've been through all the "What If, Could I, Just Maybe, This Way Might Work" possibilities already and have had to reluctantly sigh and admit that I've been thoroughly beaten by circumstance.

I don't like today anymore.

I think a fairy is closer to what he'd need at the moment (or faerie for all you British out there).

That sucks man. What was the job?

Today is going to be a lot of telling people, cause I've kept it on the down low while applying. The very down low, as in, nobody even has a clue.

I've never heard of having to travel thousands of miles just for an interview. Does the job itself require a lot of travel?

He didn't have to travel thousands of miles though. The interview was in London.
