Okay! So! Obviously you must've noticed that I haven't been around lately. I haven't forgotten you all! I just got bombarded with a bunch of awesome, crazy, kind of stressful news. So as you all may remember, I had a work event last Friday which went directly into the weekend that I was supposed to spend with my mother in law for her birthday. That was all well and good! And then, the wrench was thrown - a sparkly, gem incrusted wrench that I had to chase after. You see, I got an interview for a writing position at a company that would pay a decent chunk more than what I'm currently making right now. The interview was set for Monday, and as I was at my husband's mother's house over the weekend, I only had a little time to prepare for the interview. There was a lot of scrambling, but it went very well! So well, in fact, that I made it to the next part of the interview where I had a writing exam. So after working to prepare on Monday, I had my exam due this morning, and I also needed to work late tonight for a coworker on vacation. So, I have been super busy to say the least! If you all can forgive me one more night.... I am exhausted. I'm going to sleep so hard tonight. |

Holy crap again! So, I didn't get that job from that interview, unfortunately. I got a call back from them, and they were sad to say they filled the position - but they did add that they really liked me, loved my energy, and they only didn't take me because the other person had a bit more experience than I did. They told me to keep trying to apply for other positions and they'd keep an eye out for me, and if I was alright with it, they would call me if they had another opportunity. I was, naturally, very alright with it. And then I get another phone call, from a company I hadn't applied to in over a year, asking me about a full time writing position. So I went to the interview yesterday, and BAM! Already got called back today with "exciting news!" Unfortunately I was working at the time, and I was unable to answer the phone to find out what that exciting news was (Dang it!), so I have to wait till tomorrow to see if I got the job. I reeeeally really hope I got the job. 40% pay raise, I get my own cubicle and computer, I can write all day, listen to music while I work, I can wear jeans or shorts to work... Oh, I also will start at 6am and leave at 2:30pm every day. Meaning Fizz has SO MUCH MORE TIME TO POST! YAAAAY! So flipping excited peeps! That being said, I'ma use that energy now to finish the map of the Pink Pearl's cafeteria, and post for you all tonight. I am WIRED with excitement. EDIT: Hrm. The map took much longer than I expected it to, and it's still not up to par with how I'd like it yet. But I haven't just wandered away. I'm staying here and accountable this time. I realized that before I posted, I also had some questions for people, and since you're all together now it makes it kind of hard to post for some of you, but not all of you. I'll get it sorted out for tonight though! Edited by Fizzly, Aug 21 2013, 06:31 AM.
