Ms Mod- how you got here?

**rjt65** · July 30th, 2008

Hey Ms Mod

If you don't want to answer just delete this thread post but I was wondering:

- Before you started working for Sai King, where you a fan or at least reader of any of his books?

- How did you get the job? ie did you know it was SK hiring? or a blind interview?

- any fun interview stories to share?

just thought of this when pounding Again if to personnel or u thinks me being to forward please just delete this

cheers

I'd never read anything by him before I started to work for him. My first assignment was through a temp agency to type the manuscript for The Eyes of the Dragon. I did a good job and when he needed someone to work for him a couple years later, I was contacted to see if I would be interested. Obviously that was a yes. It will be 20 years on November 1st that I've been working for him.

Wow--your 20-year annniversary is the day before our 20-year anniversary.

Uuuuuuh! Lot of time! You are a veteran on the matter then Ms.Mod! You must typewrite very fast! Not like most of us that use just two fingers, LOL! (but I'm fast with my thumbs)

Congratulations! Not a lot of people either enjoy their job enough or have the "stick-to-it-ness" to have and hold a "job" I'd say career in your case for that amount of time. That's really great, makes me want to find something I really love too.

HI,

Well, big party on the 1st then - what is it for a 20th anniversary again, Kim?

Long days and pleasant nights

Thanks for sharing that Ms. Mod, you were lucky to get that job and SK is lucky
to have you with him all these years

Hi,

Looks like a great excuse for a combined party then on the 1st.

Music from Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (It was twenty years ago today.....)

THAT was a very important little nexus of time (Ka?) for Ms Mod, Kim and mstay.

Anyone else? And what IS it for a 20th?

Long days and pleasant nights

Long days and pleasant nights

Why did you take the job though? Not the manuscript one, typing stuff up is simple enough, and a job is a job...

But if you don't even read the guys works, how'd you have any interest in him at all? Was it because he was such a big name, and you knew it would be a paycheck... I mean, you obviously like the guy and have an alliance with him that goes beyond your paycheck. Just one thing led to another, er...?

I like King because of his works. I feel a lot of what he's created, nobody will really care about in a hundred or so years, but that's why I like him so much. He's writing for me, and my generation, right now. And not many other authors really go in that direction.

Plus, I haven't ever read anything he's written or created that went against how I feel.

Ooooooo... that means you got to read Eyes of the Dragon before anyone else ever did. Lucky girl. :0)

Soooo, you just met the guy after doing a little work for him, and you two just had a symbiotic work relationship, and it built up from there?
