Whips, Cattle Prods & Tiaras (Four-Is-More Challenge) (Page 90)

Slugger - 2008-09-25 3:33 AM Good job. Skip 1, 2, 4, and 5 though. Heck, just order out for some pizza. Awaiting results. (of picture taking, not pizza eating!!!!!)

Slugger - 2008-09-25 3:23 AM Well, the phone call went...um, really well...until it didn't. I called the guy, and he was all excited to talk to me (which I still can't get over - how freakin' cool!) and he immediately said he wanted to invite some other people to the meeting, which of course meant the people doing the job search. He says, Email me when you are available and a blurb about what you are looking for. Um, yeah, I don't have internet at home. So I drive down into town to steal someone's internet, mission successful, drive back home. Snuggle into bed with the phone right by my head... Get phone call. No dice. Turns out I didn't make clear that I'd already applied for the job. They can't meet with me because it would violate the rules. I have to behave like everyone else. Grr. I should tell them I'm on a whole team full of people who whip, taser, and prod with glee and that we don't really believe in behaving! Anyway, my first real attempt at networking and I screw it up. The guy was super great about it (YAY! future contact!), but now I don't know if I should contact the people, now that I know who they are. See, the whole reason I didn't contact them directly was that I didn't know WHO to contact! I feel weird being like, "Um, yeah, sorry about that, but, um, hey, wanna give me an interview? Heh heh, um, yeah." But still, I'm gonna contact them once I figure out what to say. The main dude is out of the country (why are they ALWAYS out of town during job searches?????????? This is like the fifth or sixth time this has happened to me!), but I don't really know what the progress is, so I'm gonna ask. Fingers crossed that they haven't started interviewing yet and I missed it, just that they are taking their damn sweet time about it. Thanks for the crossed fingers, toes, etc.!

Three left!

tlnewman30 - 2008-09-24 9:56 PM I think I am being told to drink more wine, since a co-worker brought me a bottle of homemade tea-wine today, with promise of coffee-wine to follow. Now this is one of those good problems to have.

kaqphin - 2008-09-24 4:07 AM

Thats how I felt and Im only 26... Then again I do have some memories of what it was like when I was a student..

I'm trying to decide between making cookies or making pumpkin squares with homemade cream cheese frosting that could be useful as a prop for the picture taking portion of my day.

jrcody - 2008-09-25 9:25 AM Ok children .... If you guys think that 26 and 29 is old what is 46?

ebshot - 2008-09-25 11:04 AM

Dude, do you use a walker to get around??? 46 is almost dead isn't it???

joemac3 - 2008-09-25 5:07 PM

Is anyone in here?

geauxtri - 2008-09-25 7:38 PM

^^^^ Hey You Up There^^^^

Yeah, you with the cattle prod....

It's not Friday yet!!!

I'm actually at 55% not 39%....

Okay, I know, still lacking... but not as much.....

Hmmm.... maybe I should put my stinky clothes back on and geaux workout....

D001 - 2008-09-25 5:46 PM Ooo. A workout? Excellent idea. I am very happy. In the meantime..... I'll be in the other room, recharging my cattle prod. Just in case you decide to eat potato chips on the couch instead.

geauxtri - 2008-09-25 8:01 PM

Nah, no chips, no couch....

It's Almond Joy Mini's at my desk...

Til I get home to watch premier of Grey's Anatomy

Think I'll grab another....
