Interview Today
I have an interview today for a job that sounds really good. I e-mailed them my resume yesterday at 12:52 and they called at 1:25 to set up an interview. Since I'm going to be out of town for a few days, I set it up for today. This is probably just a screening interview; she is only allowing 25-30 minutes. So, I will have just 10-15 minutes (tops) to be low-key, yet dazzling.
DH produced a spontaneous "you look good!" today, which earned him a very large kiss before we left the house. He almost never compliments me on my appearance without prompting, which is one of his few faults. I have, on a couple of occasions, reminded him of Heinlein's statement: "Frequently tell your wife how beautiful she is...especially if she isn't."
My flight leaves at 4:00 p.m. today. I'm flying out of Gulfport, which is a much more accessible airport for us than New Orleans. We live across Lake Pontchartrain about 35 miles east of the city, and the airport is in Kenner, about 20 miles (or so) west of the city. Gulfport is also about 40 miles away, but it's mostly through Mississippi bayou...hardly ever any traffic. It was worth the $30 extra airfare to fly from there.
I will be back home on Sunday. I'm so excited to see my daughter...and my grandkids!

Well ... well ... well ...
Not very nice to keep us in suspense - how did it go? Did they hire the best cantidate (you, of course) or did they go with the boss's cousin? How did you feel during the process? Was it a fun experience?
I've come to the conclusion that interviews should be enjoyable experiences - I used to take them too seriously, as if my life (and ability to pay my bills) depended on them. After going through bunches of interviews, and being on the hiring end as well, I've come to the conclusion that people's minds are already made up, and all you can do is talk your way out of the job. Others only have a chance if the selected cantidate blows it, then you usually come back around for another interview anyway. So go to these things and enjoy yourself. (easy to say, but I still get nervous).
