It's been a long time since I needed to both be somewhere at that time, and be dressed nicely with my hair all did and makeup that doesn't look applied in a train bathroom.
But I got my LittleMan up, and fed, and dressed and did the same for myself (all sans coffee. I really need to hit the grocery store).
School dropoff, and I was on the road by 8, which is good because even though it's about 10 minutes as the bid flies, it takes 45 minutes as the cars crawl.
I wore the jacket that I bought for my second interview at my last college job- which I started seven years ago, almost to the day. I got a compliment on the jacket, so I think it was the right move.
This was a group interview with other members of the staff. And I felt the last tiny slivers of indifference fall away. I want this job. Not for the job itself, necessarily. I mean, I can do it. Do it well. And learn and grow in the position, so that's nice. But more so, I like the people. They are nice, and intelligent, and for the first time I could see myself possibly wanting to make friends, to settle here.
I actually don't even know what it pays. But there would be benefits that would let me sleep a bit more soundly at night.
It went well, so now I wait.
I had a check in the mail when I got home, a rebate from my mortgage escrow account. And at lunch, this was my fortune:
Well, let's hope so.
Let's hope I am too.
I shall keep my fingers crossed for you! You have such a sense of style... even when you're frumping around you look great! When you go all out, you're stunning. That fortune might be right on target.
