Hey Novembers, one of my ultimate pet peeves is when people repeat themselves 50 times over and over again - oddly enough, my job is to repeat a passage of film 100000000 million times until I find the right music that goes under it, so I don't know why it irks me so much- and because of this, I cannot call the operators anymore. I am counting on you to let me know your interview date as soon as you hear something from the NVC, so I can jump on the phone and see if I have mine too.

Let's hang on, if what they said is true, we only have 1 more week to wait. ONE!!!!!! :dance:

As I've mentioned in September's thread, now it definitely looks like the NVC mainly assigns interviews on the 2nd week of the month.

I did some search on Canadian VJ members' timelines and it shows, in all, the second week. Lucky those who happened to have been scheduled randomly during the whole month.

I want to be wrong, but it sounds we won't hear anything from the NVC till next week.

So, Allegra, now you owe me thousands $$$$$ :P . And, please, no personal checks or debit cards :no: . Only cash accepted :lol:.
