hot hot hot

I need to make myself blog more often.  Get these thoughts out of my head and into cyberspace.

I quit my job on June 1st. Deliriously happy about that.  I do need to FIND a new job.  Have a couple applications out at two local colleges.  One called me for an interview last week - the interview was yesterday.

I think, overall, the interview went well.  It is a clerk job in the registrar's office where I would work with the graduation auditors, ordering diplomas, taking phone calls, working at graduation.  Data entry work - which I am VERY GOOD at.

As in all interviews, they always ask generic questions and most of the time you come up with something right away and then there is the one that stumps you.  When have I been in a situation like that?  How do I best respond to this to sound like the fabulous person I am?  I am sure I answered just fine, but as I wait for their decision, the second guessing comes creeping in my brain.

I did have 2 fabulous letters of recommendation, one from my former boss - let me tell you that what he wrote was incredibly glowing and wonderful - I was shocked.  The other from 2 gals who were/are presidents of the school PTO and I did a lot of work for them.  They love me.  I would HOPE those put me over the top.

I AM a good employee, I am loyal, resourceful, hardworking and talented.  Did these gals get that?  I have no idea but I hope so.  Perhaps they will make the decision by tomorrow.

Other things happening in life include the fact is is hotter than HELL and our air conditioning is NOT working.  UGH.  I am so tired of being hot.  Tater the dog is a panting mess.  Today we went to my mother's house and sat at the top of the hill overlooking the lake.  Great breeze.  Also took one of my kids old sleds and filled it with water and kept our feet in it.  It helped.

A week from today I will be in Europe - Lausanne Switzerland, actually.  Visiting friends who are there on a 3 year work stint.  Then on Sunday we take the train to Toulouse France to visit more friends.  Never been to Europe.  So excited to go, trying to not stress.  I do ok with flying but I have never been on this long of a flight.

Hoping with my next entry that I can say I GOT A JOB.  HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME.
