Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED (Page 59)

Splendid work again, Janyne! I did guffaw out loud at "taper madness" as a disability but you are entirely correct.

GO ANN-MARIE!

GO TRACY!

GO GORILLA!

*slinking around guilty*

*need to pack*

Thank you thank you!

Much needed. I get into pre-IM apathy/mild depression (funny, I never seem to have post-IM depression), where I just don't care about anything, don't want to eat anything, don't want to do anything, don't want to sleep either, who cares about this stupid race, etc.

However, the pizza--the one thing I could fathom eating right now, saving the Pop Tarts for race day!--made a huge difference. Homemade, sauce too, incredible.

I don't know how to process this.   Euphemistically, literally?  No clue with this group any more....

Ann-Marie - Miami Super Spartan adventure race on Saturday

Tracy - American Birkebeiner cross country ski event on Saturday

Simon - Great North West Half Marathon on Sunday

Thanks for thinking of me. Yeah, it's just a short HR phone interview today. 

When are you actually leaving Yanti? Tomorrow? 

Ha! I think you know what it means 

I had some last night too and am really tired. Must be the gluten? 

No better time to get started then now. What you do today is going to be more important than what you do tomorrow. 

I think you're tired because you had a big week!

I'm sleepy too but that's because it's sleepytime and I have a full stomach. Unfortunately ... this is EXACTLY the time the race will be starting one week from now.

ZZZZZZZZZZZ

X2. I didn't know whether to giggle or be concerned.

Yes.

Alrighty then! I'll do both.

I hope all is well with you, get adjusted, get rested, and get packed!

ah yeah coffee, lol that'll do er.

Did you decide on the relay yet? I was thinking about the one I did and then saw the Kardashians episode about Cuban coffee. Now I want to go back to Miami. 

GOOOOOO Racers and Streakers!!!!

Heal DLers!!!!!

Oh good. Got my call rescheduled for Tuesday. Buys me some time.

That's really good because J and I were practicing this morning and our "interview" went off the rails about halfway through.

Her (in fake HR voice): So this role would be the next logical step?

Me: Absolutely. It's like when two people get married and then they are so bored with eachother, they decide to have kids, and then they neglect the kids because they didn't REALLY want them.

Her: Yes, I know the feeling.

 Would ya'll say I'm ready?

Substitute "pugs and cats" for kids and you are good to go.

Ok I have to add the rest of the transcript because it was so solid and I feel I am not doing it justice.

Me: So that analogy didn't even phase you?

Her: No, it really struck a chord in my heart.

Me: Great, maybe you can pass on some of those "chords" to the hiring manager?

Her: Great, excellent, no problem.

Me: Well, I would like to thank you for the opportunity, and I wish you, your marriage and your poor children the best of luck

Her: Thanks (reaches to shake my hand)

Me: You can't shake my hand! This is a phone interview!

Her: Betch! Shake me hand or I'm not passing along the "chords" 

The End

Thank you, thank you very much!

You may want to work on this a bit.  But what do I know, this company will hire anyone. I'm a perfect example of that.

No, no J was buried deep in her HR lady roll, not her real self. Err wait, I sure hope  I'll just keep telling myself that

*If not, I hear Yanti needs a wife
