The Wait is Over.

I didn't get the job. They went with the other candidate. The one who is a job hopper. I hope the program goes down in flames. Can you tell I'm SLIGHTLY pissed at the moment?

Scott and I watched Christmas Vacation tonight, and Clark has a rant that he goes on about his boss. I feel it fits my situation. And thus here's the quote, with my fixes of course.

"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like that guy, the one who didn't hire me, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there in the burg with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol? "

The Waiting Game...resumed

My interview was yesterday and it went really well. So now, I wait again...this time it will only be until next week. I will hear one way or the other soon. I was interviewed by six individuals, the Dean, four people from various departments in the college, my old professor and a member of the community. The member of the community just happened to be someone I used to act with when I was in high school and he was in college. He's the first person I see as I walk into the room and he smirks at me. My immediate thought was, "I've seen that man's bare ass across the stage!" What a way to go into an interview!

Like I said, the interview went really well, I was in there for one hour so that is a good sign. So just keep your fingers crossed. I'll say it, I really want this job!!

The Waiting Game

I am the queen at the waiting game! It never fails, last week I was in a huge hurry to make sure my application materials were in on time and now I wait. I'm waiting for other people to decide if I'm worthy enough and experienced enough to be interviewed. It'll be one week tomorrow that the materials had to be in. And all I can do is wait. Needless to say I'm trying to keep as occupied as humanly possible. Thus I planned meals once again (Loaded Baked Potato Soup, page 30 of Cheap, Fast, Good! use half and half instead of milk). I also finished my second knitting project!

I learned to knit in 7th grade home economics class, but I've never finished a project. I have a lot of half finished scarves sitting around (one nearing 14 years old). But in the last month I have finished two, a scarf and a matching hat. I've never been one who can sit still long enough, thus why my projects take forever. But, Friday night during a particularly rough spell of the waiting game, I sat and knitted for 3 1/2 hours straight. I'm not one to sit still for very long so this was quite an accomplishment. Scott modeled them for me and now wants a hat to match his scarf I'm working on. This first project is a Christmas present for my Grandfather. And hopefully I'll be able to give it to him in person in the next two weeks! At least I'm being productive, but I really wish they would call and let me know one way or the other.
