Rejection

It’s kind of nice to plan a week off but more quickly than not your week fills up.  Soon you have a running list of appointments instead of the time off you planned.  Add to that the fact that I NEVER – EVER get to truly get away from work and the fact that I did something work related at least once if not twice per day and there you have my so called vacation.  So I don’t feel relaxed, refreshed or revived but I’m going back Monday anyway. 

Late in the afternoon on Friday I heard the results from the job that I interviewed for and much to my surprise I didn’t get it.  I wrote back and thanked them for their time and asked if they had any constructive criticism they could prove so that next time I could do things differently.  The response I got back totally blew me away.  It was words to the effect of since it may not work out between us and the person we chose, we are going to wait to comment.  So it sounds like I was their 2nd choice.  If it’s meant to be it will happen.  I so wanted to go back and announce that I was leaving but I guess I will have to save that for another day. 

I was lead to believe in the interview that the job was going to be mine and with all of the special attention and time they spent, I figured for sure I was getting it.  I suppose since the guy looked like a hobo this was probably his first time interviewing candidates.  He had a great voice but personal appearance sucked.  I suspect the reason why they went with someone else is that I was higher priced and that is what cost me the opportunity.  However, I am in business to make money and you get what you pay for. 

I had a nice time with my friends yesterday.  They helped me remember my late partner.  I took a nice stroll down memory lane.  Still wished he was here.

While I was out and about I got a phone call from work.  Turns out that in the legal case that is pending at work, I am going to be deposed.  It’s scheduled for late next month and that I * think * will buy me a little time.  It would look very bad for them if they let me go prior to this occurring.  Sort of like they were trying to hide something.  I am pretty well confident that they are still dead set on shoving me out the door, but if I have an extension of time hopefully something will pop before then.  It wouldn’t look bad for them if I quit, because people resign every day of the week.  Still I know the attorney who brought the lawsuit is very eager to talk with me and that this could get very sticky.  The other thing in my favor is if they let me go after I am deposed, I can claim it’s retaliatory action.  I mean once I am sworn in I am going to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth so help me God. 

I am so tired.  I just can’t seem to get any energy.  I took myself and got some pie today.  It was just average.  The last time I was there is was horrible.  I haven’t made up my mind yet but I may be taking this place off of the list of places I visit. 

Tonight is my last night to spend time with the children without a curfew until next Friday night.  I have wanted to stay up late but they won’t let me.  They tell me it’s time for bed.  So instead of being told what to do by a person I am ruled by cats.  Speaking of which I need to get upstairs and close a window soon.  They are all bird watching and the house is filling with pollen.  Sneezes. 

Momma is starting on Prozac tonight.  I sure hope that she responds to it.  The vet changed her last name and the pharmacy treated me like a brand new customer.  I wasn’t too hip to that.  I hyphenated my name so that they could retain their original last name.  Leave it to someone to screw that up. 

Speaking of screwing, pay day is Monday.  I’ve got my bills paid, at least what has arrived and so far so good.  Next month will be interesting because of the unplanned car expense.  I had to shift credit cards to try to keep balances in check so that I have a bill that I can truly pay off.  That is the only way I like to use credit cards.  I don’t believe in giving them any money in interest unless it’s necessary. 

Well that is all I know for now.  Going to breakfast in the morning and then going grocery shopping.  Moving and grooving to the beat of cleaning house and doing laundry.  How it sucks!

As for my remaining 4 days.  I am not sure how I will take them one here and one there or if I will line them up and use all 4 in a row.  Talk with you peeps later.
