  • I had my second interview


    Went back for hte second interview with the company that I'm still hoping will hire me.  They asked me to take a test, which I did and have since figured out that there were some things I got wrong ... but oh, well.  I did the best I could and I'll just leave it at that.  I'm figuring that I don't have to be perfect, I just have to be the best candidate they get.   So I'm praying that everyone else makes the same or more mistakes.   


    I followed up with the car rental company that I applied to last week.  And I'm still hoping I can get an interview with them.  I'm salivating over the prospect of that job because one of the bennies is that I would drive a company car.  I'm getting rather used to this Mustang, I could live with this for quite some time.


    Things are looking good on the home front.  Tom and Eliza are going on a three day mini-vacation, so I'll be here with the kids and my aunt and uncle.  I haven't spent nearly as much time with them as I would have liked since I've been here, so I'm looking forward to this. 


    I talked with the apartment people this morning and in less than two weeks, I can start moving in.  Whooo Hoooooo!  (That give God two more weeks to get me hooked up with a job, so I'm kind of watching to see what He does about that ... )


    In other news, Michael had food poisoning over the weekend so he was a sad sad camper.  For those of you who know us in real life, you'll understand how seriously his Momi was taking it when I tell you that the child was quiet for two days.  He didn't talk, he didn't tell me a single story, he didn't do anything but lie there in between dashes to the toilet.  He was looking a lot better by yesterday afternoon, and he was recovered enough this morning to go back to school. 


    PS - My therapist is out of town today and next Monday.  I'm feeling surprisingly unhappy about this set of circumstances.  Not that I begrudge her a vacation, but I'm having issues here.  If she's going out of town, she should take me with her!  (Anybody remember "What about Bob?")

  • Sounds as if things are looking up.  Good luck, getting at least one of the jobs!

  • Lets rewrite the script...

    What about BOB and all the KIDS?

    *grin*

    Sail on ... sail on!!!

  • A quiet kid is almost always a scary thing!  Quiet and just sitting still is even scarier!  I'm so glad he's feeling better.  Poor thing.  Praying for you to get one of those jobs soon! 

  • Always able to bring a smile...

    Glad to hear that you've got an apartment lined up, now we're just waiting for the job to follow - sending positive thoughts...  Also, the "better than the other candidates" idea reminds me of the standard bear hunting safety measure you tell your first time hunting buddy.  "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you..."

    Sorry to hear about Michael, but glad he's feeling better.  Holler if there is anything we can do to help out.

    LOL..yup, I remember that movie! Hey...if you need to talk, I'm not therapist...but I can listen

  • ...know it? - it's one of my favourite movies! Delighted someone else even remembers it.
    ...geesh, I've been away far too long! You have a NEW life building - GOOD FOR YOU!!!  Took a lot of reading to catch-up on you and I'm thrilled for you and about you. You're going to be FINE! Keeping my fingers crossed re job, have this feeling its going to happen. Big hugs, MuSe

  • Well -- if you follow the therapist to her vacating place, definitely take the Mustang and the kids.  I bet you folks and the therapist's folks would have a riot!

    Poor Michael!   Big gentle hugs.  I sure hope it's all cleared up by now.

  • something BIG is going to happen, I just know it

  • A quiet Michael, if I had one of those here I'd be worried too! lol

    Hope he doesn't read this comment! heh heh

    About the interviews, I am in that place too, hoping to hear something about how much better I did than alllll the other candidates.  I hope you get that call.

    Take care and enjoy the time with aunt and uncle.

    Hugs,
