Loathe:
* I had forgotten about these sinus headaches I get when storms move through. I probably forgot because we don’t get that many storms here in California, but this time of year we do. Sometimes. I would be one big walking headache if I lived anywhere else, huh?
Love:
* Honey sticks. I’ve been on a tea with honey kick lately. Could have something to do with my half sore throat, which may be a teensy tiny sinus infection. Or something to do with my sinuses (see first loathe up there). But, yeah, honey sticks. Yum.
* The Mess. That is what I order at the restaurant we go to in the mountains. It has eggs, hash browns, ham, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, jalapenos and probably a few things I’m forgetting right now. I put my hot sauce on it and it’s absolutely delicious. Plus, it’s enough food that I make four or five breakfasts out of it. Delicious and thrifty!
* Opening the windows and watching the cats scramble to get up on the window ledge. I love seeing feline bliss.
One Last Thing:
So, I had my interview yesterday and I got the call today that they decided to hire the candidate who had 6 years of experience in their type of business.
Their decision is actually a HUGE relief to me, because if they had offered the job to me, I couldn’t have turned it down, since I need one. But after I processed yesterday’s interview, I honestly think I would have hated working there (or the PC way of saying it, “I didn’t feel like we were a good match”), which absolutely surprised me given how excited I was about the interview.
The HR person said it wasn’t me, they believed I was “an excellent candidate” and am “a very talented young lady with a lot of skills,” and that my “resume is incredible,” they just wanted someone who already had experience in that industry. Since I hate nothing more than wasting my time, I was grateful when she offered me a couple of critiques about my responses yesterday during the course of the conversation today.
I feel like at least I learned something from the experience, which I can use going forward. For me, that’s what this whole process is about. That and finding a job, of course.

It is ok sweetie, you will find something you like and they will like you too. I love our cats. love you
XXOXOXOX
I hope so… I’m beginning to wonder if all the companies out there are just weird these days or something. It’s a strange time to be looking for a job. I love our kitties, too. xo
honey sticks are delicious 😀 i almost never get them, but when i do? heaven! hehe.
i need to try The Mess. mmm…
there is a perfect job out there for you somewhere. 🙂 xo
If you can believe this, those honey sticks are from my former job. One of the vendors would drop them off. No one else liked them, so I always “helped out” by taking them out of the kitchen. How can someone not like honey sticks?
The Mess is delicious. 🙂
I’ll keep looking for that perfect job. xo
was it the company where my husband works, or another one? i hope you find the right fit for you! and the right money too, of course.
It wasn’t your husband’s company, I’ve not heard from them. This was a non-profit company, which is likely why the wage for the job was so low. But I felt the opportunity and learning potential outweighed the money part, which is why I went forward with the interview.
Guess I gotta keep looking! 🙂
You will find the perfect job fit soon I am sure. You are too talented to be passed up : ) Love the kitty pics!!
Awww, thanks, I needed to read that this morning. My self confidence is taking some pretty heavy blows these days. (sigh) You’re a good friend.
I *heart* my kitties so much! 🙂
I’m glad you didn’t get the job. 🙂 Hoping the “right” job is just around the corner for you.
That “Mess” looks yucky for this egg- and mushroom-hater. But the cat pictures made up for it. Feline bliss is a wonderful thing!
That was really nice of the HR person to offer critiques!
Have a lovely weekend, my friend!
I’m incredibly glad I didn’t get that job. The HR person was actually kind of a jerk about it, and most of it was back-handed, circular stuff, saying nice stuff so she could say rude stuff, but that doesn’t mean I can’t learn from it. heh
Ohhh, I didn’t know you didn’t like eggs and mushrooms… 😯
Cat pictures make up for everything, bad days, bad interviews or bad food! 😀
That Breakfast looks DEEEEEEELicious…!…Darling pics of the cat looking out the window…..
And that’s a good thing that they didn’t hire you then. And, still…..you got something positive to go forward with….! Hooray, my dear.
That breakfast was sooooo good. I love it and my kitties. 🙂
I always try to find the positive, even in a strange situation. 🙂
