an affair to remember

I hope I didn't make you think with that subject line that I'd be discussing any actual affairs. Rather, that's the movie that LesleyMom and I watched this afternoon -- well, part of it at least. Of course, we watched the big ending and both yelled "Don't go, Cary Grant!" when we thought he was going to leave without realizing that Deborah Kerr really didn't stand him up that day on the Empire State Building and that they still loved each other. Awwww...

Today was mostly decent. I'd say it was about 85% awesome and 15% extremely annoying but that didn't take away from the awesome. I have a phone interview tomorrow morning for what would be a very good job in a place I'd love to work, and it has an easy commute (bonus!). I also have a meeting with a headhunter on Tuesday morning about other opportunities that could come my way. All of a sudden, I'm a hot commodity. This can only lead to good things, people.

On the extremely annoying side of things, the tire that went flat the other night had to be replaced, and things like that cost money. I also had to deal with some annoying drama llamas, and you know I am not a fan of such things. Also, last week I'd had a very very good interview, had very good feedback, was told they'd call the next day with an offer, and now they've disappeared. I don't get it. It's like when you go on a really great first date, the guy says he'll call, and then he seemingly falls off the face of the earth. I know that the time seems a lot longer to me as a prospective employee, and that most likely neither the company nor the recruiter is doing any work at all this week, but hey, at least let me know what's going on. Otherwise, that's just rude. And annoying.

That's all. I need to rest up for tomorrow morning's interview. Good night, my lovelies.

You are definitely a hot commodity. Here's to 2012 being an even better year for you ('cause I like to think that you handled the obstacles of 2011 extremely well and you did get all Zumba certified). You also have great insight and I need to get some perspective on my own past year. Good luck with the interview!

OMG "drama llamas"? You crack me up with the things you come up with.
