Need some "woo-sas", possibly yoga, some prayers, and a stiff drink

Just got back from my interview... can you tell how it went based on the photo??? It started out great. I interviewed with the IT Director for about an hour. Good, flowing conversation. He mentioned several times that he was impressed with my resume and skills. Hurray!!! Then, he takes me to another IT Guru-type guy. Talk to him for about 40 mins. Good, flowing conversation. He mentioned that he was impressed with my resume and skills. Hurray!!! It's time to speak with the owner. Deep breath!! The IT guru-type guy knocks on the owner's door. He says, "Are you ready to meet Mary?" I hear the owner say, "Not yet.. I would like to speak with you first." Two seconds later, IT Director joins them... oh know!!! I can hear bits and pieces of their conversation because the walls are so thin. I hear owner man saying things like, "But she doesn't.. and I see she has BUT.." Next thing you know, IT Director comes out and explains that I am a strong candidate but they need to continue to review resumes for someone who has video file conversion experience. HUGE SIGH!!!! He said some really nice things after that but I didn't hear much more. So, at this point folks, I need "woo-sas", mantras, yoga poses, prayers... whatever you have for me, I'll take!!!!

Last discouraging point, they let you bring your dog to work!!!!!!!!! Man! Sophie would have been in heaven if she could have gone to work with me everyday.... Where's that drink?????

The Neglect Factor: Zoe

My sweet kitty, Zoe, has been around for about 7 or 8 years now. She is a very docile and quiet kitty. A bit mischevious at times but for the most part.. a good kitty. She doesn't quite get all of the love and attention that she used to get. She used to sleep with me every night. She used to lay next to me on the couch when I watched TV. But, with the addition of a husband and a cute, cute dog, this went away. (She still sneaks into my bed in the morning after Kelley leaves for work.) To make up for poor Zoe's neglect, I take time out throughout the day to hold her and pet her. Sometimes, she is just happy being around me. I love my kitty!



On the other hand, this one commands attention.... How could you resist this face???

PS... Zoe is not truly neglected. She just doesn't get to lay around in the places that she used to. ;-)

Pacing the Night Away

I have no pic for this post. Why? Because I am up truly pacing the night away!!! UGH!! I found out today that I have an interview with a different company this week. This will be my 3rd interview with my 3rd company in 3 weeks. Does that have meaning??? Hmmm! But, what is so different about this one? It's with a company that actually does something with meaning, with heart. The company is called The Connection Center. They teach families and professionals how to work with autistic children and use new techniques for socializing those who have autism.

I was at a friends house when I got the call. I remembered applying for the job but didn't really remember the company. When I arrived at home, I immediately looked it up. That's when the nervousness began. I have been going over all of my skills and experience in my head. I have read the job posting at least a dozen times. And, I just want this interview to work! I know, I know.. if it's meant to be then it will be. Sigh...guess I'll get back to my pacing.
