Let me apologize now...

****WARNING: I'M FEELING A LITTLE GOOFIER THAN NORMAL****


I'm definitely in a better mood today.

So what, I didn't get the job, but my life's not over something else will come along (I hope). But I'm really starting to get excited about the trip that is in the works. The researching has begun, the time has been booked off and the moolah set aside. Initially, it was only supposed to be me and *Miss Wonderful* which was cool it would give us a chance to get to know eachother better and of course party! But now ~Sabe~ has joined in the planning and excitement. Yay! we're now a threesome...uh wait that has a few too many sexual innuendos attached. The three musketeers, no no that's too corny. Ah I got it! We're now a tripod. I know you're thinking "WTF?!" But honestly it's the best fit, because we're there to support eachother and if one of us is a little out of whack then the others try to fix the wobble.

Please understand that I am aware that my thought process is often a little peculiar but without these ladies I have a very strong feeling that "they"(the powers that be) would have put me in a padded room long long ago. I can just imagine the lazy days at the beach, the numerous fruity concoctions with umbrellas, the gorging at the buffet, the random pictures, and of course, the nursing of the sun burns. Cheers to the all inclusive travel packages and sunny destinations!!

Today I am thankful for nothing...

So I *finally* got a call from that company I'd been waiting to hear back from. The woman I spoke to was very nice about everything saying that it had come down to myself and someone else, but that they had chosen to go with the other person because they had more experience. Clearly that is the rational choice but give me a break people!!! That is such an easy out. These days a lot of graduates can't get a job because they don't have any experience and we can't get the experience because NO ONE WILL GIVE US JOBS!!! Anyway the woman was nice and said that they would like to keep my resume on file because "you know how things go". Aw gee ma'am that's super swell, yet another organization that has my resume rotting away in some filing cabinet; how did I ever get to be so lucky!?!?

AARRRGHHHH!!!!! Frogive me folks, I'm so incredibly frustrated. This was definitely not what I had wanted going into my birthday weekend. How's that for a present, eh? And yes I did just say EH! I am from Canada after all, isn't that the stereotype I should fit into?? Sorry, seems that sarcasm is my friend today. I hope that April turns out to be a better month for me, I'm so liable to completely lose it on the next dumbass customer at work who asks me where they can get a catalogue/where the restaurant is/why we take postal codes/in other words ANYTHING!


Sorry, bitchfest over.

The Modicum of Mediocrity

Yesterday nearly drove me out of my mind due to anxiety, and today hasn't been too much better. I had an interview on Thursday (which I beleive I may have mentioned) and they said that they hoped to have a decision made by Monday. So all day I kept checking my machine which turned out to be a complete act of futility. They never left a message, in fact they had mentioned something about having someone call to test my conversational french skills and since that had not happened I was more than ready to concede defeat. That was until 8pm when I got a call from the Executive Director of the association. She was calling from London ENGLAND!! (and it was 2AM there) She was the person that was to test my French, we talked for a bit and everything seemed to go really well. So then I got my hopes up again, damnit!

And what did that lead to? Me checking my machine all day again today, hoping that they were going to call and tell me that I got the job. Obviously wishful thinking on my part. I may not get the job but at least I can appreciate that I made such a big impression on them that the the Executive Director felt compelled to stay up until 2AM and call me from England, essentially, just to chat. But I still really want(ed) that job!

On the up-side a lovely friend of mine found a great job site Peter's New Jobs which lists all the new posting from various sites and categorizes them as Private Sector, Government, or Recruiters (staffing agencies) to make things super easy. This is going to save me sooooo much time, because everything is in one place, as opposed to searching five individual sites over the course of hours!! (**Miss Wonderful, you are just that**)

I'm feeling like a complete bore because that call has been the highlight of my week (thus far). If you are looking for something a little more dramatic, edge of your seat, only in the movies kind of stuff have a look at Scotty's Day. Ugh, ok I know it's only like 9:30 but I am totally ready for bed, I think I'm going to crash. I'm getting so old!!
