A Cry in the Dark

catching up.....

Well, I had my first telephone interview the other evening. It seemed to be going well until the very last question. He asked about my education. I did my best to put a positive spin on it. "Due to scheduling conflicts brought about by corporate requirements, I had to make the choice to put my continuing education on hold. Those conflicts have recently been resolved and I have enrolled in an on-line program to complete my degree." He sounded a bit disappointed, though. *sigh* I'll know in about three weeks whether I've made the cut for a face-to-face interview....

Why does it always seem that things come up at the last minute when I'm trying to leave the office for a few days off? I ended up staying almost two hours late yesterday to complete a project. Of course, that meant that I got caught in traffic (at 4pm for some strange reason) and took more than an hour to get home. Not the best way to begin a few days off!

Lots of projects scheduled for the next few days. I'm hoping to get the bathroom ceiling re-painted today. Tomorrow I'll submit my college application with my transcripts to find out what courses I need to take to complete my degree. Fortunately, my math requirements should already be completed. A little touch up painting in the hallways, painting a shelf, fixing the drawer to my buffet and working on the family reunion scrapbooks will round out the weekend. I plan on making Tuesday a lazy spoil-me day. I've scheduled a massage, pedicure and manicure for myself!
