Feast or Famine
Should I take this as some sort of sign?After weeks of absolutely nothing on the job front, resumes in nearly every hiring manager's office, pouring over job listings, waiting for the phone to ring or that email to arrive ... during which time I have been on the brink of madness because of how miserable I am, the flood gates broke open today.
Today ... I had three calls for interviews. THREE. Two of them are for companies that I would kill to work for, doing the work I want to do (AT, ya ready for a trifecta?) The third I hear is not too shabby, especially on the pay, but isn't what I really want to be doing. Plus, I have heard from four former co-workers, plus the hiring manager, that my old work place is hiring again and I need to put in my resume there too. But I still haven't heard from the company I really, really, really want to work for. I got a phone number for the HR person now ... I should call. I have nothing to lose!
My current job is about to make me psychotic. Having a hostile co-worker that plays stupid junior high games doesn't make things any better, no matter how much I ignore her mean, nasty ass. It. Is. So. Boring. I could scream. Someone was having computer problems today ... I had to restrain myself mightily to keep from sitting down at her desk and fixing it. Just for something to do, that requires a brain. I do random internet searches, just to have something to do.
Please, dear God ... I need a real job!
In other news ... the back is improving. I had a big set-back over the weekend. Friday I went for therapy and an adjustment. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home. While there, a woman came barreling around the corner from an aisle and nearly rammed my with her shopping cart. I twisted, turned and jumped out of the way. *POP* And my problem joint went back out of line. I spent the whole weekend in pain, on ice, not moving much, doing some walking. I finally got into the doc today and he fixed me right up. Now I am afraid to move at all. I'm tired of hurting.
So ... I have an in-person interview and two phone interviews tomorrow. And I have to pretend to work ... this is gonna be fun. Maybe they will fire me or something ... make my day.
