I have a job interview on Wednesday. I've got a serious "in" on this one, real serious, but it doesn't mean I'll get the job.

Any prayers and well wishes you could send my way would be much appreciated.

Interview went well today. I was 1 of 10 out of over 320 applicants to be interviewed! And that was before anyone put all the pieces together of who I was and who-knew-who and subsequent phone calls on my behalf. So, even with the outside help, I still got my foot in the door on my own. At any rate, he's trying to whittle it down to five and has already eliminated three and I don't know how many he had to interview after myself. He'll be doing call backs in the next day or two for second interviews and hopes to have his decision made at that time. I think I'm still in the running and am hoping my phone will ring!

Why are you applying for this job?

Justa... Because when I saw the help wanted ad I thought to myself... this is "My Job" and then I High Fived my husband.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

He called a couple hours ago and offered it. After some discussion I accepted. I start Wednesday morning. WOOT!!

Thank you all for the support! It's been a crazy week and you kept my spirits up!

Even though I had some inside help on this one I actually got the job from a source I never suspected. An old co-worker and friend of mine, TC, who is like a second father to me is someone I used as a reference. Turns out the company owner also knows TC and loves and respects him as much as I do. When he called TC and TC gave me such a favorable recommendation he couldn't resist and knew I was the one for the job.

Cocktails are on me tonight!! :D

Here is one for BP! It's a work day-night so it's light on the sugar, alcohol/caffeine free full of ice and toped with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint. https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRh3UQa29hBE-Cv_HESLcUd0tPb8ajP53YXDlI6yzi1JRhI4nIT3A

Fire is good Justa. It tempers one's mind and soul. You'll become hardened and unfazed by the stupid stuff and get thru work everyday with more ease than most people. :D
