Since I'm home with the cat and she really doesn't seem to understand what I'm telling her, I have to share with you. My eyelids are itching like mad. I mean I want to rip them off and probably would if not for the fact that my eyeballs would dry up and fall out. Anyways, just keep that in mind as you catch up with me. I am distracted by the severe itching.
The job search is still underway. I provided references to one firm that I would greatly enjoy working for, but am uncertain why they even requested them when they have yet to follow up with them or me for that matter. It's been almost a month and I'm a little on edge.
Monday I had an interview with another firm that within the first 15 minutes I realized was not for me. I was called back for a second interview yesterday. The more I think about it the more I find the position to be well below my skill set and the pay is even further below what I'm worth.
On the upside, I had a reassuring phone conversation with a recruiter that has landed me the first screening phone interview with a firm I'd enjoy being at tomorrow afternoon. He believes I have the skill set and the fact that my desired salary is less than what they were thinking works in my favor. Fingers crossed because I'd really like to move up in the world.
Don't get me wrong. I would "settle" for the position I interviewed for on Monday and again yesterday if there was an offer only because...well, I need a job. As sweet as it is to wake up around 8:30 am, take a rolling start to the day, work out, watch Ellen and basically do whatever my little heart desires, I want to be back to work.
Thankfully, this is the week we move. Yay! So I have felt much more productive and have been busier, which makes it much easier to fall asleep. I am even more relieved that I only have a few more days of living with this left.
And don't worry, we're hiring movers. This will be sure to guarantee the wedded bliss continues!
