leavin...
What a crazy week. I am now officially on vacation. My mouse finger is sore due to all the data entry I had to do to get ready to leave. Seriously messed with my sanity, I tell ya. In about a half hour I'm driving with Josh to Columbus to visit with my father, stepmom and half siblings for the weekend. We're going on a road trip! This will be the first time Josh is within age to leave their supersensitive and ubercoddled siamese cats alone. I can hardly wait. He'll be cool this time and he picked right up on "grandpa steve" - the name, I wondered if he remembered our trip last year at Thanksgiving. Hmmm.
Anyway. Gotta go. I'll update this week with the straight.

OK - just a quickie is all I can afford right now.
You. Guys. I got the job!!! Now that it is actually sinking in I am back to elated. But I was so used to the idea of not getting it that last night I kept giggling whenever I remembered.
Business Sytems Analyst. Dude. Seriously.
I so excited, as my son would say.
One day I will update with all the cool and funny developments he's made. Lately he takes my face in his hands, looks deep in my eyes, and examines me, stroking my cheek, telling me I'm so nice. I LOVE THAT!
OK. Gotta go. Work. Later I get to throw myself at a velcro wall.

Ok. I am home today with Josh who's sick - but the funny thing is after I didn't get that job - though they won't tell me that - they might think I'm mad. I'm not.
I started a post on Sunday to share that I thought I got it, but what's even funnier is that although my boss let the cat out of the bag Friday that I was gonna get it she also added that the formality was running it past the rest of the girls in Accounting to make sure no-one else wanted it. I had been told I would hear last Friday and when I didn't I had a bad feeling...so, Monday came and was almost over with no word and funny glances from a couple people and then FINALLY, an appointment was sent to a board room for the interview for Tuesday with Accounts Receivables. So, that was why no-one could bring themselves to actually look at or talk to me. So, I quickly met my disppointment head on on Monday, and by Tuesday was feeling ok, except they still are not telling me anything, just resting on the fact that since I had to accept that appointment I know what's up and apparently don't deserve more than that. And THAT is the thing that is making me feel bad. So today, Josh is home sick and that's where I'm at. Also, two days of data entry for the ever important training records in preparation for an upcoming audit were lost after 8 hour jam sessions of entry. So, a little bit of the, no new job, but this one continues to suck dilemma. But, I am grateful I have a job at all. And for the strides I've made that they considered me for a better position, although they obviously did not have their ducks in a row so to speak when they basically told me I had only to then remember thay someone in their own department might also want it. And then did. And maybe still does. End of freakin story. The entry I was going to post and then got eaten, which was also predictive of what my overall relationship with data would be this week, was all about the job and how cool it would be, and thank goodness it got eaten because taking back those words would be more embarassing than I have already been made to feel.
I still don't know the final verdict, though I have a good idea. And now, I wait for Treya to send me her info so I can do something tiny for someone else for once.
