Whoops! I mailed it today and his birthday is Wednesday. They don’t pick up mail until 2pm and then again at 5pm. Then it has to go to the main post office, sorted and sent to his city. He’ll probably receive the card on Thursday or Friday. I already had the card but I had forgotten to get his gift card so I kept putting off mailing the card.
On a positive note, I’m sure he’ll love the card.
There is somebody right now who I’m kinda seeing who is muy caliente. But I already know he’s all wrong for me. This is not a “real” relationship so to speak. We’re basically just seeing each other.
He’s cool with just dating and not having a real commitment. It’s not usually the kind of relationship that I go for but I figured I would just go with the flow. I’m usually all about stability and long-term prospects. But there’s something about this guy that made me change my mind.
As long as I keep it casual I’ll be ok.
By the time I get to work on Friday, the week is over for me. I pretty much just coast along on Friday until it’s time to go home. This week has been a hot mess all around and I’m glad it’s over. There was the job fiasco but there were a few other things that happened along the way that I had to deal with.
I hope next week is better because I surely can’t deal with another week like this.
I don’t like snow at all. I got caught in it the other night while I was coming home and it was a mess. I will drive when it’s less than 3 or 4″ of snow but once it’s more than that my car doesn’t move.
I really felt for our maintenance man because he has to come out and clean our driveway and sidewalks no matter how cold it is outside. I know he can’t wait until spring so he can set up the composter and not have to worry about freezing snow or frost outside.
To be truthful, I can’t wait for spring either. If it were up to me we would skip winter all together.
Or shoes it doesn’t matter to me. I went to buy a pair of black boots but they didn’t have the ones I liked in my size so I bought a really light colored pair. They’re made to be worn in the rain or snow but they’ll get dirty really fast so I don’t plan on wearing them often. With the wet weather we’ve been having lately, I can already tell I won’t be wearing them much.
I could just nix the whole boot idea and get a new pair of tennis shoes. I saw a really cute pair of reebok pumps tennis shoes that would match perfectly with a few different tops that I already own. The shoes are all white but most of my clothes are blue or grey because they’re my favorite colors.
Of course there is always the option to buy both. Off to shop I go.
I’m very undecided right now. I feel like my interview went well on Friday but the manager is still interviewing and won’t make a decision for another 2 1/2-3 weeks. Meanwhile I’m still waiting to hear about the other job. I don’t want to call human resources because I don’t want to light a fire under the hiring manager.
The reason? Best case scenario, I get offered the second job which is the one I really want. Bad but not terrible scenario is that I get offered the 1st job but not the second. Worse case scenario is that I don’t get offered either job.
I don’t know if I should keep applying and keep those irons in the fire so to speak or just wait and see how these two jobs pan out. Ughhhhhh I just wish someone would hire me for a new job and put me out of my misery!
I should be happy that I’m getting an interview. I applied for a ton of jobs that I was totally qualified for that I didn’t even get an interview. But I am totally burned out from the whole process. We’re a business casual environment so I don’t have to wear a suit to interview, just a pair of slacks and a nice shirt. But I still try to dress it up from what I would normally wear.
While the last job that I interviewed for seemed like a good fit, this job that I’m interviewing for today seems to be an even better fit. Some of the duties are related to what I did in my previous job. There may be travel involved but I’ll find out more about that during the interview. If there is travel, that’s cool with me because I’m always down to go somewhere else.
I’m really excited even though I’m burned out and stressed out from everything related to the process. Especially since it takes almost 3 weeks after the interview before you hear anything. Fingers crossed that this is the one!
I don’t even know how I did with this years resolutions. I do know that I put them on my other blog so I’ll have to dig up the post and see what I wrote. Then I’ll have to do an analysis on how close I came to meeting my goals.
I do know that my savings goals should be pretty close if not over what I anticipated. That’s mainly due to my house savings account. I’ve been squirreling money away for months. My debt however, is probably slightly behind the curve. I haven’t really gotten my hands on a decent enough sum to knock my debt out.
I do need to start on this years list though. The New Year will be here before you know it.
I’m buying a house in the next 15 months. I still have a ways to go before I make the purchase but it’s never too early to start looking at home prices just to get an idea of where I stand. Most of the houses that I like are way out of my comfort zone even if they are within my price point.
Other houses just don’t have all of the features that I’m looking for. Whether it’s not the right neighborhood, too many unfinished projects in the house or the house doesn’t have a trash pump that’s working properly, it’s always something. I realize that since this is my first house I won’t get everything on my wish-list. I’m still not even sure if I want a single family home or a condo. That’s the main reason why I started looking early.
I’m sure this is going to be a long process.
Ughhhhh I hate waiting. Patience is definitely not a virtue for me. I thought I had a good shot of getting the job but I found out that they are still interviewing people so that’s not good news for me. They’ve been interviewing for the past week and a half already. The manager is out sick so my coworker is interviewing with the assistant manager next week.
Not good news for me. I guess I had better keep searching the open positions list.
