| Finally! |
I want to draw your attention over to my avatar ------> and the fact that she's dressed in work clothes, because:
I GOT A JOB!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Can you tell I'm excited!?! It's at a law firm, and while that may not have been the direction I was headed, I'm grateful until I make the next step after that. You guys know how I've toiled and toiled in my job search and how I tried different things, finished college late, and even tried volunteer work, but now I finally got hired.
You don't know how elated I was when she called me, the exact same day, that evening, and offered me the job. I left the interview feeling conflicted because while she said she liked me I definetly fumbled and botched two crucial questions, one being 'Why should I hire you over another candidate?' I fucked that answer up! I sat there babbling and thought, 'it's over. I said nothing memorable' It's like I couldn't think. Sigh. I need to send that lady flowers. LOL, if she took pity, I'm happy.
The other kicker? It's been like 400 degrees here, as you know, but it did cool down considerably; however, I have one really nice suit but I'm sick of it. But you know how it is when you don't have money for tons of suits, and you get one "interview" suit and have to use it? Well, I'm sick of the suit and I didn't want to wear it. I tried skirts and blouses, but ultimately just decided to wear the damn suit.
Well, she points out that she was impressed that I came 'dressed appropriately' because most people don't. (!) The reason I decided to go ahead and wear it was because it was for a better job (a real job) than some of the others I've been too, and I knew that it was better to wear the suit than not. I guess it paid off.
That happened Friday and I'm happy to say I had a FABULOUS weekend, obviously. ((grins))
I want to thank each member of my Scooby Gang for giving me well wishes and encouragment during my job searches. I appreciated the good lucks and such. It was nice knowing you guys were sending good mental thoughts my way. Thanks!
Hope everyone had a good weekend! I know I did. ;) |
