I HAVE FOUND THE HOLY WALL

Well, the second interview at The Liberry went less well than the first, in the sense that we weren’t INSTANT SOULMATES. But I still think it went well.
For one thing, I didn’t scream like a Twihard when I saw the Wall O’ Languages.
Dear Optimus Christ, they have one enormous shelf devoted to studying languages—everything from Arabic to Zulu. It was enough to make a language nerd spontaneously combust, except that might burn the books and we can’t have that. So instead I just had a quiet internal spasm of pure language joy in the middle of the interview.
“Any questions?” said my potential manager.
“Can I have this wall?”
Man I hope I get this job.
