Confetti

“I’ve decided that the stuff falling through the cracks is confetti and I’m having a party!”

I’m sure I’m not the only one this happens to, but things are happening in my life that I am just not documenting here. And then I go to write about this really cool development and then remember that I haven’t written about the initial happening so the development isn’t going to make sense. Sort of a vicious cycle in that I don’t want to go back to the beginning, but I really don’t have much else to write about …

So – you get drivel like this. Sorry.

So my phone interview was yesterday afternoon. I wasn’t nervous, although there was a leeetle bit of anxiety rolling as the time grew closer. Nothing out of control, just butterflies in my tummy. All the interview consisted of was behavior-based questions, like “tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer,” to which I replied: “I just had to shank the bitch.”

Kidding.

Kind of.

OK, totally kidding, sheesh.

Anyway, my in-person interview is scheduled for next Thursday afternoon. You know what that means, right? It means I get to go shopping for new interview clothes.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, wouldja?

Oh – and can I use you as a reference?

You can totally use me as a personal reference, but I am not sure how much good that will do since I can’t say we ever worked together. I am really happy for you. Yay for new interview clothes and I am crossing my fingers for you. They would be LUCKY to have you!

Hmm. You could use me as a personal reference if you like. If you did, I would say that I have known you for 8 years, and that over that time we have had conversations both difficult and easy, and that I think your communication skills are truly top-notch. Written or oral.

June 10, 2010

You’re not missing that much — it’s super windy and the pool is probably too cold to hang out in … I am actually afraid to see how cold the pool is!

You can use me as a reference anytime, baybay.

Yes! I’m so sorry I missed you again. I had to work later than anticipated and then I had to retrieve the babies until I went back to work today… I love you. Did you go to Drink? Did you have fun?
