Holy crap you are like the queen of super long entries, aren't you? :P

I didn't think this one was that much longer than the others I've been posting all this time! Did I pass some threshold by a single paragraph and all of a sudden, I’ve hit critical mass and it's making people’s heads go boom?! I'll work on brevity, promise! Though like Hermione, I find it difficult to edit myself and end up with two scrolls of parchment instead of the one that the teacher requested. *facepalm* [It was such unfair favoritism but my teachers used to let me get away with that in high school, lol, I think because my essays were just that amazing. *g*]

Oh my god dude, that's so easy. You'll be fine. I was shit scared dealing with customers/clients when I first started working as well, but over time you get more confident. Just smile and be pleasant and if you don't know the answer, get someone to help you. Easy peasy!

Lol, you make it sound so simple! I've dealt with customers before when I was at the fish-and-chips shop, and it was a nightmare. I didn't know which was worse- in person or over the phone. You'd think the former, but then the phones were crappy and I couldn't hear what people were ordering! Which was a big deal when you screwed up their order and they hung around and whinged while it was being sorted out, and the Greek bosses were yelling in my ear about how I messed up the whole time. *shudders* Trauma!

Anyway, there's no point fretting til I find out whether I actually got the damn job. No sense convincing myself I'd be able to do it and psyching myself up only to strike out.

Oh my god, did you have to get a time machine of some sort? Did wacky hijinks and shenanigans ensue?

It was epic! I knocked my past self out and shoved her in a closet so I could replace myself. Took on the class bully, talked to that boy I always liked but never had the guts to make a move on, applied myself more in class…but when I returned to my own time, awesome as life was, something was lacking…

And then I found out, to my horror, that my LJ life didn’t exist! :O I was so content with my life that I never found the time or desire to cultivate an online presence. ;_; My face was like that painting of The Scream, I was so aghast, I’m shrieking like a banshee and it felt like the apocalypse ought to be imminent, because if I was going to feel this heartbroken, the whole damn world better be going up in flames in sympathy.

Luckily, I was able to return to the past and set everything back to normal, and the moral of this story is: no matter how much I may think my life might improve were I more socially capable and well-adjusted and attractive to the menfolk [or womenfolk, I’m not gonna discriminate], basically it’s all lies. Because this right now is pretty awesome.

And if I really could go back in time, all I’d do is sit myself down and tell her, ‘You need to join this site called livejournal. Search for woochoc_magnum, luxuria_oceanus, odakota_rose and a bunch of other awesome people. AND TRY TO MARRY ONE OF THEM WHILE THEY’RE STILL AVAILABLE, MWAHAHAHA.’ [Hey, I’m not the Other Woman if the knot hasn’t been tied yet!]

Awwwww.... :) I don't think my old teachers would be that happy to see me! lol

No? Were you a terror at high school? Lol. I was a teacher's pet, so there you go. They don't just remember the trouble-makers, the good kids linger in their memory as well. :D

And she was the coolest teacher ever. I still laugh at that picture of her dressed up as a student- I remember I couldn't concentrate that class at all, I kept cracking up and had to face the wall because seeing the student version of her teaching class...*gigglesnort*
