Missy told me once that she likes it best when I “just vomit whatever’s floating around” in my brain. Since I’m tired but totally unable to sleep, I’m going to go with that for now.
1. Bill feels the interview in Oregon went well. It was an all-day affair which involved pretty much everyone from the CIO down. They made lots of positive comments like “Great answer!”, and the dude who’ll be Bill’s boss told the recruiter it was going “very well”. Blahblahblah and yaddayaddayadda…bottom line? We won’t know anything until Monday, possibly Tuesday. More waiting. Yay.
2. I’m worn out from BlogHerNot already. Apparently, my wild youth has been gone much longer than I thought. On a positive note, I have many, many fabulous new blogs to read…which might not be so positive once I sit down to map out my schedule. But whatevs…insomnia has to be good for something, right?
3. T-shirts. They’re in and on their way back out. Yeah, yeah, I know. I was supposed to do that yesterday, but look, wrangling my three rats to both WalMart and the post office without Bill’s assistance seemed pretty daunting. By the way, that reminds me - God bless all you single parents everywhere. I’d forgotten what it was like, and I’ve felt blessed all day long that this is temporary.
To the new Doogs - what up? To the old Doogs - look at me. Still keepin’ it real…real ADD. I’m out, y’all.

MoFM - I swear, I’m barely coherent this morning. It’s taken mad amounts of coffee to even get my eyes to stay open. Heh. And thanks for the good wishes. I’m sure my butt is going to be all clenched up until we hear something.

Dude I still love posts like this. They’re like that little ticker at the bottom of the screen on CNN giving me up to date stats on all important things Stephteph.
I thought about it more last night and it is probably good news that they’re making you wait until Monday-ish to find out about the job. If they thought he sucked they’d be like “Sorry it just wasn’t what we were expecting” yesterday. But if it went good they need to figure out what everybody thought, salary packages, vacation packages, etc. KWIM? So I think this is good news. Still, fingers crossed.

I’m crossing my fingers for the Oregon job. The best things come to those that wait, right?!
I’ve got mad props to single moms too. Marty works a lot and I get a little taste of it and it tastes like feet. Dirty ones.

Me too! Crossing my fingers on the Oregon job. I want you as my neighbor.

Missy - I’ve been praying practically non-stop here. I’m dying.
Celeste - It sucks huge. I’d sort of forgotten that. This weekend was a teeeeeeensy taste of doing it alone again, and yeah. Mad, mad props to women who do it all the time and don’t wind up nuts.
ModernSingleMomma - Thank you! I would live to live out there. Bill sent a couple of photos via the camera on his phone - GORGEOUS.

I CANNOT wait until Tuesday. This waiting is very hard on me.
Also, for MOFM: MommyPie did ALL the work, I just wrote a post like everyone else. So she’s sleeping probably! While I have another drink in me for sure!

Deb - God love Mommy Pie. This was genius. I’ve found several new blogs I love, and we all know that’s pretty much what I need - more blogs. HA!
Anyway, I’m hoping we’ll get a call Monday. Otherwise, buy stock in Tums. And Grey Goose.

At my last interview (2 months ago) it was me and the school principal, plus two of the other teachers. It went on for an hour and ten minutes and it was the three of them firing questions at me the entire time. Brutal! I finally decided that if it was meant to be, I’d get the job and if it wasn’t I wouldn’t. And if I didn’t, there was something better out there for me.
Flash forward, and I was shocked to get the dang job! I took it as a sign. If Bill gets it, and I hope like hell he does, it was meant to be. If not, the prospective boss was probably a douchebag, and the next offer will be way better. Just keep the faith, it will all be worth it. :::sending mad positive vibes::::

Jane - Thanks.

Be a philosopher, like me — it’s WAY easier.
12 Steph // Jul 20, 2008 at 9:36 am
Jane - Advice like this isn’t extremely helpful, IMO. “Just change your personality!!” Um. Okay. I’ll get *right on that.

phew! I’m exhausted from this weekend, too! Between BlogHerNot all Friday, and the marshmallow incident…glad to be back in the world of computers, and especially to see you’ve been waiting. :) I feel the TOTAL blog-love.
Any word on the job yet?
14 Steph // Jul 21, 2008 at 7:17 pm
QB - I’m glad you’re back!! :) No, no freaking word except that we’ll have word tomorrow. These people are killing me.
