You know what’s really bad? A slightly hyper person who has no nicotine or sugar to slow them down, who is tense about the second job interview and has way too much energy. That would be me. Ha.
Notice I didn’t say anything about giving up caffeine. That was an accidental fluke. So, this morning I tried on like, 20 different shirts. I already knew which one I was going to wear with my interview suit, but still, one of the others might have been better. Every time I took off my jacket, my dog sat on it causing me to yell, “Get off my jacket…insert naughty word here.” Fun morning.
Went to work, time to leave, all the printers conspired to make my life a living )(*& and then I got printer ink all over my hands. The only reason I didn’t have food on me is cause I didn’t eat. Ha!
I did fret over not having first place underwear. It might cost me the job. A friend of ours was recently told he needed to bring his first place underwear to a list he will be fighting in. Apparently that advice plus the quote, “Don’t go to play, don’t go to be ‘good enough’ go to win or just stay home,” and some other advice he’s collecting for this really big list. We’ll see how it plays out.
Second interview today, was more nervous for some reason, maybe because I need a job and the reality of that has kicked in.
Someone this week said, “all those people with no bad habits are going to feel really stupid someday lying in the hospital dieing of nothing.” So I think I’ll keep the coffee habit and get addicted to something else, like exercise. Can that kill ya? I went to walking circle with OS today and did two miles, (1/2 mile running, thank you very much). It’s the walking circle cause its inside and its just a big circle, nothing to see here.
They will let me know Thursday if I got the job or someone else did. ARRGH, (a word you can’t text apparently) Dammit (another word not able to text, who knew they had censors?) I was freaking out before the interview while working with the crazed printers, and trying to text these age-appropriate words and just gave up in disgust.
So I realized that watching Pride and Prejudice in all its forms hundreds of times, watching all the other Jane Austen movies, and reading Jane Austen’s novels multiple times makes me have lots of random quotes for things. Not quite like When Harry Met Sally, there is a line from that movie that will fit every occasion. But still:
From Persuasion:
“I must go, uncertain
of my fate, but I shall return
'or follow your party
as soon as possible.
'A word, a look will be enough
'to decide whether I enter your
father's house place of business, this evening...
'or never.'
