2 POINTS!

By my lack of updates you would think I either got a job or something. This would not be the case, but I can say that this has been a busy week for me as far as interviews go. So that is promising. Finally!! The phone rings. I had a few good ones and one really horrible one. Of course the horrible one I wanted most of all and the interview was cut short by 2 wrong answers. I have never felt so disappointed in a company and in myself. I just couldn't believe it.

I've been applying for several position in this company for several weeks. One particular customer service position was very appealing and I wanted it. I was going to be Ms. Customer Service!! But I never heard from them....Until last Tuesday. I was happy. HAPPY!! This is the interview I've been waiting for. The job I wanted. I was going to get this job. I rehearsed, I went over questions in my head, practiced, studied everything I did over the years, I was going prepared to answer the secret mysteries of the world. I was getting this job.

I'm feeling good. Its Wednesday. Interview day. I'm 20 min early, fill out the application and I wait till they call me. I got called along with two other people. A kid wearing jeans that don't exactly fit......You know what I mean. I can tell you that he wears calvins. Ok!! The other guy was an older gentleman who didn't speak very good English. I'm thinking that they are applying for warehouse positions. We go into this room with computers. I got this.

she hads us test. Number test. I do these all the time. They are to see how well you can work with numbers. For example....There are two columns of numbers were some match and some don't. Your to check the ones that do match. There are 300 pairs and you have 4 minutes to finish this test. The other test was to see how well you do number sequence. For example if it says 1 2 3 4 5 _ _ the obvious answer is 6 7. 1 9 9 2 9 9 3 9 9 4 9 9 _ _ the answer would be 5 9....Get it? There were 30 of these you had to finish in 4 min.

after the first test of matching the numbers, the kid says....."Man that was hard".....Ugh. Then the lady comes back with our test with the news that we are all losers and didn't even make the minimum score.

all the life was just sucked out of me and I felt like I was in a some sort of twilight zone hell. My dream job is down the drain cuz by 2 points. I just couldn't believe it.

ok...My job is done. Back to ME now.....sheesh. Ok so I got home thoroughly upset but I let go of it and went back to the drawing board. On the up side, I've had several interviews this week and one I went to today looks really good, but I really want the other one, but hey....Anything would be something right now. So hopefully I will have some answers by Monday.

I've been the mad puzzler since I lost my job. I've been banging out a puzzle a week just about. I've got 4 done and I'm about to work on one I got from Bonnie a few years ago of the NY skyline (including the twin towers) that I couldn't do because its 3 Ft long!! So I'm attempting to do it since I have a table big enough to do a regular 750 pc puzzle but still not big enough for that one so I'm doing half at a time. Make sense? I've been gluing them together and they are really nice. Ill post them soon. I can't wait for the NY one to be done. Its going to be really nice.

tomorrow were going back to Chicago to take care of financial aid stuff for Sarah at the college. We don't have a day planned like we did last time but to just walk around when were done and check out some sights. It should be fun. Ill be sure to take more pictures this time.

ok well that's it for me....I now have to straighten her hair.....Way to much fun...I know your jealous!

have a great weekend!
