Still waiting...

I am still waiting to hear from the company I interviewed with last week. I received another call from the representative last Friday informing me I was still the lead candidate for the position. The HR representative simply had to go to her manager and get the go-a-head. They also want to make sure they have their ducks in a row before they offer me the position.

**crossing fingers**

I know this job is mine!! I have claimed it already!! I should know by the end of the week at the absolute latest...or so I'm wishing

So, I Interviewed Today...

And it went really well.

The company representative spoke 95% of the time. No Joke. Seriously. She spoke damn near the entire time about her company, the position, and other nonsense. It didn't bother me much at all. I sat there and smiled and 'Yes-ed' her to death. LOL!!!

Now some may say, how did you sell yourself? How will she know you can do the job? Well, I guess I didn't have to sell myself too much because I received a call 4 hours later saying the rep was highly impressed and I will know of my 'fate' by Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. She kept commenting on my experience and how great my resume was. I attempted to get a word in edge wise and exaggerate my skill, experience, training, yada yada, yada, but alas, there was no need LOL!!!

But get this people!!! Why oh why did I develop the biggest bump imaginable 30 minutes before the interview. I saw it creep into the world 2 days before the interview and ignored it. But, why oh why did I try to lessen the visual others would encounter. I pushed and prodded and pushed and prodded until that thing wouldn't give anymore. Man!!! When I say that darn bump grew 5 times in size, I am NOT exaggerating!!! I was a bit self conscious of the newly formed tumor/bump and had to force myself to sit up properly and not lower my head. It was THAT huge y'all. But as I sit here and type this, much later in the evening, of course it has shrunk to a barely visible mark....go figure!!

I rambled a bit in this post, but what else is new.

OH!!! Before I forget. Effective tomorrow, I will begin keeping a diary(in a notepad) of the food I eat. I eat a lot! Most folk would be surprised if they knew how much I can eat....when I am bored. Man, boredom sets in, and that's all it takes. Anyway, the idea came about when I was working out with a fellow gym rat. We are both trying to get our abs in pristine condition. Well, as pristine as abs can be transformed in 30 days.

I just noticed I express myself on this blog the same way I do in real life....all over the place!! I have to correct that soon. Yeah, I think I will. LOL!!!!

I have an intereview tomorrow...Plus other randomness

Well, considering I have been a lazy ass when it comes to updating this blog (and other things in general), I haven't had the opportunity to keep you guys updated with my job situation...or lack thereof.

Well, I had an interview two weeks ago. The interview went exceptionally well and I left that interview thinking I had a 97% chance of receiving an offer. The 3% uncertainty came in due to salary expectations. This is a smaller company and although when asked the lowest salary I would accept, I sensed a bit of apprehension on the part of the interviewer. Well, a few days ago, I called HR to do a follow up and inquire of the status of the position(s) I interviewed for (yeah, they wanted me in two different departments). I was told the paperwork has been forwarded to the appropriate people , but I was still in the 'mix'. Her words exactly.....'MIX'...LOL!!!

Anyways, I have an interview with another company tomorrow and I really want to get on with this company. For some reason, I have a great feeling about this interview tomorrow. I feel as if this job is mine and I am going to 'claim' it!!

Once I get this job (because I know I will) I will once again begin my home search!! I am especially excited about the home search. I have been envisioning myself in my new position with this new job AND in my new home. How can I go wrong? I CAN"T!!!!

What more can I say? I am expecting the best!! I know I am going to get it too.

The past 3 months haven't been as productive as I would have liked. But I have been getting in excellent shape, working out constantly and am actually running a 10k next Saturday!! So it hasn't been all bad!

My pooch, Houston, has been ill and he has been to several vet visits only to have to go to an internal specialist. The specialist then says they recommend he goes to another specialist in Northern VA to have an MRI. Da hell?! $1600 for my furbaby to have an MRI then another ridiculous amount to have surgery to correct whatever the MRI identifies as the problem. Well, I am going to take him to another vet and get a second opinion before I dish out all that cash!! I may have been born at night, but it sure as hell wasn't last night!!

My hair is thriving!! My hair reaches my armpit and is steady growing. Actually, some parts reach bra strap, but I wont claim bra strap length until 98% of my hair is that length. I wear it pulled back unless I am going 'out'. Besides, I work out 5 times a week and I must have an easy pull back or bun. But as for the weekends, it's hanging and swanging ;-)

I will let you guys know how the interview went!! I know all 3 of my readers are anticipating an update! LOL!!!!
