January 13, 2005 | Job? Huh?
Salient points from this afternoon’s exercise, in no particular order:
- I did not fall down in my super-fantastic boots.
- The person who interviewed me was not wearing shoes.
- The job is even better than I thought.
- The salary is even better than I’d hoped.
- The phrase “You bring to the table many skills that none of the other applicants have” was said three times.
- The benefits are not to be believed.
- At the end of the interview, I was asked to please be ready to come back next week and meet the rest of the team.
- At the end of the interview, a small shaggy pony, or perhaps a large friendly dog (very difficult to tell), bounded in and sat on my feet.
- At the end of the interview, in spite of everything I believe about not getting my hopes up (again), it was suddenly crystal clear to me that God works in mysterious ways.

Do you know how close to tears I am? Because I am weepy and also becuse I love you and want you THIS to be IT for you!!!

Sounds like a pretty sucky job…
I think you need to find a job where they let you blow stuff up and drink beer. That would be cool.
January 13th, 2005 at 6:14 pm
EEEEEEEEEEK!
So, are you a dog person or did that gross you out?
*Grin*
I can NOT wait to hear….this is gonna be fantastic! Kym’s prayers were heard!

Good luck Mir. I’ll be pulling for you, for sure….
January 13th, 2005 at 7:00 pm
Woot! I’ll be praying the next phase goes just as well.

It’s about time that an employer recognizes you to be as special as your readers do.

Well, cool for you! But you know we’re all dying to know what color you went with for the resume.
AND I wanna see pics of these boots…
Like they said, I’ve got everything crossed that I can (and then some).
January 13th, 2005 at 9:29 pm
Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. Eyes crossed. I walk funny and keep crashing into the walls now but for you: anything. Good luck, and lots of it.
January 13th, 2005 at 9:36 pm
Ohh, I don’t even know you and I started getting misty. GOOD LUCK!!
I hope good things are in the air b/c I have a job interview with a major nonprofit next week. But if luck is limited, I wish it to you, as you’ve been needing it longer!
January 13th, 2005 at 11:05 pm

Still doing the Happy Snoopy Dance -but in double-time now!
January 14th, 2005 at 1:15 am
I started working on a song parody with the refrain “Employable You” but am too sleepy to make it work–instead am doing happy bouncing dance very quietly and anticipatorily….yay! yay! yay!
January 14th, 2005 at 1:17 am
fingers and toes are crossed!!
January 14th, 2005 at 5:27 am

January 14th, 2005 at 11:12 am
hmm, how did you interview at my company and i never even noticed it? no shoes + dog sounds quite familiar. but, wait, you said something about a salary even better than you’d hoped. definitely not my company. good luck, though!
January 14th, 2005 at 11:59 am
Dang, I wanna work with shoeless people and ponies! Mir, you get all the fun! Seriously, keeping everything crossed and happy rainbow thoughts of good luck flowing for you! YAY!!!
January 14th, 2005 at 12:31 pm
The guy without shoes worries me a little, but the doghorse is surely a good omen. Good luck! Have a great, happy, indulgent, be-kind-to-yourself weekend on the success of this interview.
