002 ~ Perhaps introductions

[missesthestars]

I suppose introductions are in order since I'll be living amongst you for a time.

My name is Promise Nottinger, and I hail from New York - although I understand there are quite a few versions of it represented here.

Since I've seen on the Network that it's customary to seek employment via these posts I suppose I should post a CV of sorts, even if it is a bit thin.

I have co-managed a small private enterprise providing security and investigative services to a discerning clientele, and have served on the board of directors for the Met for a number of years. Through my husbands I have also been on any number of social committees and philanthropic endeavors in various positions.

I fear there is not much more than that as I spent many of the last years caring for my husbands before they passed away.

[Edited to add: Beyond caring for my husbands I was a nurse a number of years ago, should there be positions in that field, I would consider those as well.]

I am very recently arrived in the city and have a few things I need to settle before I begin to work, but I should be available quite shortly after I evaluate my options. Although I should point out that I am a night person and simply refuse to work days.

Should anyone know of any positions available, please let me know here.

I believe I know a diner you'd fit in perfectly, Promise. Have you considered waitressing? I believe it would suit you.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

As well as delivery boy suits you?

What time tomorrow would be good for me to pick up my new things.

[winewomenand]

Keep joking madame and I'll make you get Hotspur yourself. Do you have any idea how much our conflicting schedules makes things difficult for me? I had to rearrange my whole night around a stupid cat.

Eleven p.m.?

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

Heaven forbid I keep you from any part of you evening.

Eleven p.m. is fine. I'll meet you at the dojo so I can pick up some other essentials as well.

[winewomenand]

That was my sentiment exactly, thank you very much.

That's fine. He's packed me quite a few bags which I assume are for you. At least he's making my trip worthwhile.

[cal-sitter.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised at you. No mention of nursing care beyond your late husbands?

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

It wasn't under the best of circumstances, Niko. Although if it came down to it, I suppose I could pick it up again.

[cal-sitter.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's much need for the agency here. The rest may be of more worth than you anticipate.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

I don't imagine, or you would have restarted it yourself. Perhaps an amendment is in order.

...and it would give me certain access should I need it.

[cal-sitter.livejournal.com]

Do as you think best.

Hello Promise, or do you go with Miss. Nottinger?

Can't say I'm sure about anywhere that's hiring but you could try one of the more upscale clubs to see if they need management or secretarial work.

You've had a lot of husbands then?

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

Ms. Nottinger, generally, I am a widow.

Do you know the management of any? Besides the Lux, I mean.

I've lived a full life.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind, I usually don't go with that degree of formality.

I don't, I haven't been here more then a week. There's the Lux and Underground there's the Raven and some others.

I can see that.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

There's rarely anything wrong with a little formality. I didn't catch your name...?

The Lux would present a problem, but perhaps I'll look into the others.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

Always makes me think of teachers or something like that. I hadn't given it, Shalimar Fox.

It isn't a bad place, the Lux. I've only been a few times though. Good luck with the job hunt.

[mercifulsun.livejournal.com]

Would you be interested in joining the police force-I work in a nocturnal shift.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

That's certainly an option I hadn't considered - what do you do for the police?

[mercifulsun.livejournal.com]

I answer to the Warden and work as guard in the prison division.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

Prison division... then you're familiar with the prisoner I've read about on the network?

[mercifulsun.livejournal.com]

Ahh... Which prisoner?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Not another one.

Employment can be easily found here.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

That's what I've been told - are you aware of any opportunities I may take advantage of Mr..?

[ooc: LOL - she's totally not police-type, good guy, yes, police, no.]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Luke Valentine.

City clubs and eateries always seem to be hiring.

[missesthestars.livejournal.com]

A pleasure.

So I've heard. Are there any you would suggest?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I don't frequent any particular establishment to offer an opinion beyond 'they all seem passable'.
