Jobs

As some of you... er... all of you... know, the company I'm working for now has filed bankruptcy. It's in the final throws with a very small percent chance of recovery. The word on the street is that we can expect to work about 4-6 more months and then it's all up in the air. I'm okay with that... I haven't put out any resumes or anything because, well, I hate doing that. But I did have something fall in my lap. A girl I worked for for three weeks before she left for another job sent an application my way last week for a nice position at her new company along with a recommendation she sent to her HR people. It just kind of fell in my lap and so I figured it would be cake. I went in for an interview last week and sat there answereing questions for 40 minutes between two girls. The job was for an Administrative Assistant position for a VERY hippy company - they consult with other companies on how to lessen there environmental impact. It was my dream job. Anyway, I found out today that I didn't get it. Huh. Weird. It seems odd because they sought me out. I'm a little at odds with it - but mostly I suppose because nobody likes rejection. I emailed the girls and asked for specifics on why I didn't get it and I'm interested in hearing back from them. I know I have a hard time with interviews. I'm not very good at selling myself in person. Oh well... At least I still have this job for another couple of months. And a boyfriend who rocks and doesn't love me for my money.

Pistachio!

So, J.-Dawg, bought me a fish. A pretty little beta that’s white with a purple-maroonie colored tail. I named her Pistachio and I LOVE her. She has a pretty little round bowl with lime green rocks on the bottom and some purple flower plants and a little purple lily pad. The colors all work so well together with this pretty little fish. I just love her. J. is teaching me how to be a good beta momma and how I have to feed her twice a day and clean her bowl and make sure she’s warm enough. I never knew I was such a sucker for such a little thing but I rush home at night now to make sure she’s still swimming around and that she looks happy and content. And I’ve changed my wake up routine in the morning so I don’t startle her so bad by turning on such a bright lamp right above her. I really want this pretty little fish to stick around for a while. She means the world to me because she’s from J. and he means the world to me. He has a beta too – a beautiful deep red one named The Human Torch, but we just call him Big Red.
