4 hours until SHOWTIME

Last night I went straight home even though I knew there was mail waiting for me.  I wanted to get my package from Amazon and get dinner, then get ready for today.  I was pleasantly surprised that my mirror arrived along with my Amazon shipment. 

Instead of eating supper I elected to put the mirror on.  It was a little more difficult than I expected but now I know the inner workings and why the glue didn’t hold.  First the mirror is held on by 3 bolts.  2 of which are easy to get to and 1 that they want you to tear the door apart to get to.  I had problems disconnecting the wires from the mirror.  I saw where it interfaced into the mirror and unplugged it but thought that the wires inside the mirror needed to be unplugged as well.  Not the case at all.  That led me to get a screwdriver and just pry like hell from the mirror housing that was on the car and presto it all came apart 1 2 3.  I saw a bear door and then it just clicked. 

I managed to get everything in place and I was a sweaty mess.  I needed a spot mirror because that is just how I roll.  So I headed to the auto parts store and picked one up and then hit up Taco Bell.  Tried the cool ranch taco and it’s horrible.  Too much salt. 

I am happy that the mirror saga is over with.  The only problem that I have is that it shipped ground and I paid for overnight, so I am requesting a refund.  Hopefully that will not be too much of a battle.

Yesterday our HR person gave her notice, she landed another job and will be starting within a week.  I am so happy for her and she is just on cloud 9.  It’s like you see this yolk that has been taken off her back.  I can’t wait until I feel like that and hopefully it will be really soon.

Today is my Showtime the big 3rd interview.  I am nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.  I am told that it doesn’t show and people think I am calm.  Yeah I know how to fake that part but inside I am a complete mess.  When it’s over with is when I will fall apart.  I feel this will be more like an interrogation than an interview.  I have prepared a short list of questions and I’m ending with the clincher that says to the effect…is there any reason why you wouldn’t hire me?  So the response to that question should hopefully give me an idea of where I stand and if they are in fact going to extend an offer.  My hope is that I walk away with good news. 

I’m dressed pretty well no shirt and tie but I am wearing a shirt.  It looks like another day at the office for me, so no alarms will go off here.  However, I will be telling my boss in a few moments that I have an appointment and need to leave, that of course will set off bells.  I chose my words after what our HR person used.  I’m hoping I get the same results that she got.  He got called yesterday and gave her a glowing review and I hope for the same.  Even though we have had our differences.  I’ve always done what was asked of me and been very professional.

Lord please get me out of here and into a much better place and if you can the sooner the better. 

I am looking forward to going home early and who knows I just might eat out again, depends upon how hungry I am.  No lunch I just hope I don’t pass out in the interview, that would be a bad thing.

Used the spray on Momma last night she seems a little better.  She didn’t like it when I got to her belly because it’s raw.  We are going to try it again tonight, I may have found the answer and I certainly hope I did. 

I wasn’t paying attention when I ordered the stain remover, I thought it was for carpet but it’s for mold and mildew.  That’s not going to help me much.  Although I wonder what it would do to the carpet?  Hmmm.

Well off to break the news and prepare.
