hmmm...what do I need to do?

Here it is, 4:30 pm the night before we leave for Europe.  I still have not gotten a call about that job.  I am SO disappointed.  I know I told them I was leaving a week after the interview. 

My mom asked me after I interviewed, "how old are these people who were interviewing you?"  They were both younger than me and then she just said, "hmmm".  She thinks that because they are younger than me that they will not appreciate how good I am as an employee.  That is disappointing.  I want her to be wrong.  Sad thing is....she is right a lot of the time.

I am sad about this. 

But excited to go to Europe tomorrow.  Might have to find a xanax....

do good things come to those who wait?

I am waiting, trying to be patient, but feeling....IMPATIENT.  Fretting, wishing, hoping. 

Like there is anything I can do at this point.  But still.  CALL ME AND HIRE ME ALREADY.

;)

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.

it's over

today at 2pm I resigned my position at school.  it was emotional, it was hard, it needed to be done.

I feel better already.

the time is 4:13pm. 
;)

end of the road....

I have turned in my notice to my athletic director and resigned my golf coach job.  My principal today emailed me and asked when I was going to turn in my resignation as he gathered after our April conversation that I was not returning.  and we need to chat.

Hope he isn't planning on me writing a bible for my replacement.  not happening.

only 6 1/2 more days.  we can do this.

in the meantime...2 job applications out at the moment.  hoping for a phone call soon

interview

so I had an interview this afternoon for a job I really really really want.  It looks like a constantly changing environment where I will never be bored.  In a theatre.  With new people all the time.  And fun.

I think I did well in the interview but SUCKED on the typing test.  UGH UGH UGH UGH.  I hate typing tests.  I have been practicing for a week and choked when I got there.  Worst ever.  Hopefully they will overlook that. I could just cry.

If not, I am done applying for a while..unless something perfect comes along.  Probably will end up working as a cashier somewhere.....can't do it anymore................ 

waiting....waiting......

where is that flipping job fairy with her wand?  Haven't gotten any calls for interviews...haven't seen any jobs to apply for. 

Did get a good laugh about the conversation with my boss last week - he found out I had been interviewing.  Wanted to know why I hadn't told him.  Really?  You think I need to share that with you?  

I did enjoy telling him I needed a year round job and a job where I was valued.  He gave me the deer in the headlights look.  Great look on him.  Then he proceeded to tell me what I do is so important...blah blah blah.  NOTE:  what I DO, not I AM.  Fail asshole.  Then he wanted to know why I didn't tell him things weren't working out.  Gee....why wouldn't I tell you that?  Probably because when I did you wanted to FIRE me last fall.  Such a dope.  I told him it would only put me where I was currently - stuffed in the corner.  Forgotten, ignored.  Oh, except when he wants something done. 

And then I need to quit the coaching job too.  Need to make an appointment with my AD on that one before the end of the month....

Well job fairy - do your thing.  I am waiting.............
