Not Quite The End

Today's interviews went great. The problem is that the CEO wasn't available. He got caught by the snow in Baltimore. So now I'm supposed to do one last, last interview with them before I get to hear if I got the job or not.

The way I look at it is, I get more time to prepare. Which really isn't a bad thing.

I just wish I hadn't worn my best suit today. I looked great. The hair cooperated, the makeup went on without a hitch and stayed the way I wanted it to look and the new blouse complemented everything nicely. Ah well. I suppose I'll just have to work some magic again next time. Sigh.

Skiing, The City and Having the Place to Myself

This has been one of those really good and relaxing weekends that make me just smile.

I hit the slopes with Michele on Friday and discovered the joy that is the banked turn course. So much fun. But to top it all off, I woke up blessedly almost pain free. I was expecting to be sore all over but the only thing I felt were the little spots on the insides of my ankles (where the boot was rubbing).

Then yesterday, Aaron and I spent time with our friends Tom and Marie. It was Marie's birthday so we went out to the city for dinner. We hit a really nice place called Porter House in the Time Warner Center across the street from where I used to work. It reminded me of why I liked the area so much. Ah well. For dinner I had one of the best duck dishes I have ever had. Afterwards we went out for drinks and saw a set from Aaron's old band. At the risk of sounding completely biased, I prefer Aaron's singing. I know. I know. You'd expect me to say that. But really. The new guy's voice is really high and nasally, so after a bit it really gets annoying. After a set we decided to bail adn came back to our palce for coffee and Wii.

Today, I have the place to myself. Aaron left about an hour ago to go to a Superbowl party. I would have gone, but decided to skip it. I have the interview tomorrow and I really didn't want to stay up long. Had I gone, I would have had to make Aaron leave even earlier than he has to (he has to work) or his friends would have had to get me home, but also leave really early. It's all good though. There are chili cheese dogs, a beer chips, salsa and an assortment of cheese to keep me company while I watch the game and Puppy Bowl. I'm all good.

Yeah tomorrow's the big day. The final interview. I'm pretty much ready. I've got all my notes together and I've done my reading up on the people I'm meeting with. I picked up a new blouse and I'll be touching up my nails in a little bit. All that's left is a good night's sleep.

Wish me luck.

Because Sometimes You Just Need The FUNK

This song has been in my head all day and, really, sometimes you DO just theed the funk. Enjoy yall.

I Did It. It's Out. Now I Wait.

First off, thank you so much to my fresh sets of eyes. I really appreciate all the help.

So yes, the two writing assignments have been submitted. I'm not sure if I could have done anything else different. I mean sure I could have tweaked things to hell, but by that point I would have made me eyes bleed. I spent so much time researching things and writing things that I actually have had to wear my reading glasses. I don't normally have to resort to them. I normally use them when I do needlework or when I've spent more time than usual reading.

But anyhoo, those are out and now all I have to do is wait for Monday.

Till then, I'm planning on getting myself a new suit for the interview and hit the slopes with my friends Michele tomorrow. I think that'll make a world of difference.

Muurrrrrrrrrrghh

The day went better than I anticipated, considering I was awake writing till about 5:30am and I look like a zombie without the makeup. I'm not kidding, I looked in the mirror earlier and the crazy dark circles under my eyes really make it look like I've been playing with my theater makeup. Not good. Luckily, I have a whole pound of DD coffee in my kitchen and I did end up getting sleep this morning. I didn't stay awake the whole night. I did go to sleep last night. I just woke up at around 1am-ish and couldn't get back to sleep. So at around 2:00am , I decided to not fight it and got back to work.

I'm just now trying to work though the second part of the writing assignment and hopefully, finishing it tonight. Tomorrow I'll spend the day polishing and cleaning up the two pieces.

Holy Crap! This is Awesome!

I Think I Can. I Think I Can. I Think I Can...

Okay cue the "Rocky," workout music and imagine any of the big workout routines before one of his big fights and throw me in there, hunched over a computer keyboard, papers kind of haphazardly strewn about, and you have my day today.

I'm working on my writing assignment for the job interview. They gave me two assignments and hopefully by tomorrow I can have two good drafts. Read them over one last time on Wednesday. Tweak what needs to be tweaked and send it in on Thursday. I can do this. No sweat.
