Silence! Still no word from corporate about the job I interviewed for 2 weeks ago…or is it now 3 weeks ago? I am going to Florida next week to work at the office there. I got a room facing the ocean! Hopefully it should be relaxing…somewhat. Lisa got a job…she’s waitressing at a restaurant in Lambertville. Today is her first day of classes…she’s going back to school to be a teacher. She has entered a new phase in her life and I am fighting for one.

I got an Alsmann CD as a present from Special Someone…I like it a lot.

I UPDATED MY LINKS PAGE!!!!!!

Check out the picture of the teapot up for auction, do you see anything a little odd about it?

So I did the interview….it felt fine, I can’t think of anything I should have said differently. Who knows! I am sick and tired of worrying about it. Next week should bring an answer and then I can figure out what to do.

Tomorrow I fly to Chicago. Thursday is the interview. I feel absolutely paralytic! I have gone through so many feelings and moods concerning the last interview and lost job as well as this new possible job….that I now feel ambivalent. I just don’t care even though I want this job soooo much! I hate the guy who I am interviewing with because he rejected me the last time. How can I go and be polite and schmoozy when I just want to spit in his face? I am almost emabarassed to show up. Will he think me desperate or tenacious? Obviously there is too much useless thought going on here. There are other jobs out there, I have nothing to lose.

So I didn’t get the position I wanted. Now I am vying for another Product Manager position. I will be going to Chicago next week to interview for it. Hopefully things will be different this time. I really want this job…not as much as the last one, but this one will do. I even bought a new suit for the interview!

So last Monday, Lisa, Audra and I went to Havanna’s for Karaoke. Audra and I got up and sang “These Boots are Made for Walking.” Let me just say that I really wasn’t in to it as I approached the stage– but once on the stage, looking out at the people, seeing the bright lights…the spirit of Nancy Sinatra came over me and every single Elvis Presley movie I ever saw came flooding back! Next thing I know I am doing the Shimmy, the Shuffle, and the Monkey! It was one hell of a kick ass rendition!!! Everyone screamed and cheered us on…it was soooo cool. Now if I could only land this stupid job.

Word came today that the position I interviewed for was given to a 50 year old man. It was between him and me…that is a laugh. Had I even known that he was the other fellow, I wouldn’t have even bothered. 26 year old girl vs 50 year old man…who’s gonna win? As if I even had a chance. HA! There are 2 other positions open that they will consider me. Or reject me. Wouldn’t that be fabulous…to be rejected not once, not twice, but three times? In a strange way, that is exactly what I want.

Still no word from Corporate about the job for which I just interviewed. It is driving me insane, not knowing. Soon Soon Soon. At this point, any news would be a welcome relief.

Anyway as I was driving to WIlliamsport, PA on Monday afternoon, I saw a meteor streak across the clear blue sky! The meteor resembled a shooting star, just bigger and brighter…it looked like a ball of fire! I couldn’t believe what I saw and began to doubt that what I did see was real. Then the next morning, it was reported on the internet as well as TV and the newspapers. I was quite relieved to see it reported, you can imagine. 🙂 Here is a link: Reports of Meteor Shower Abound Along East Coast

Hmmmm, could the meteor be a sign from God?

I can’t get enough of this link! Am I sadistic? I just love throwing the giraffes in the air and watching them float, jerk, and twist. Anyway, on Tuesday I asked Lisa..what day is it, April 31 or May 1…how many days are in April? Lisa replied in her own inimitable way:

“30 days hath September, April, June and November
All the rest have 31
Except for February, it’s a f*cked up month!”

I thought it was hysterical, but then again, I am my sister’s biggest fan.

Okay Okay! A couple of weeks ago my favorite cousin and his beautiful wife came to visit!!! Together we sat and did Psyanky- for those of you who are not Hunkys, that means we decorated Easter Eggs 🙂 Here is a link to see some Pysanky: Click Here! Soon, I will post pictures of the eggs I designed. Cousin David, is this good enough for you!?! :-))))))))) Oh by the way, Cousin David, I got the pictures back from your visit and they’re great, I will send you some of the doubles!

I am trying out BLOGGER.com. It is supposed to make posting one’s weblog easier and simpler. If that is so, I will more likely keep this damn thing a bit more up to date. Wouldn’t that be nice? Of course, just trying to get this thing to format right, has been an exercise in futility! Anyway, tomorrow Lisa, Audra, and I are going to see The Diary of Brigit Jones. I can’t wait! The book was great and I think the film will be just as enjoyable.

I spent New Year’s Eve watching Elvis Presley movies on TV. Not a bad way to start the New Year!

Tonight Peter Tork is playing in Bryn Mawr, I hope Lisa and I can go! Now, I’ve been to 2 Monkee Reunion Concerts. The last concert our seats were really close to the stage. At one point, Peter stood directly in front of us playing his guitar and as he strummed with exuberance, Lisa and I got drenched in salty Tork sweat!!! Now I look back at that moment rather fondly but at the time I was disgusted. I remember yelling “Ugh! I have Tork sweat on me!” Being the trooper that I am, I simply wiped the offensive sweat from my brow and went right back to dancing to “Not Your Steppin’ Stone!”

At any rate, I really feel that the Beatles are over-rated, the Monkees are just so much better!!!
