I didn’t sleep last night. I was intensely nervous about this interview. It went well, but I realized late last night that this is a placement agency. They have positions offered, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll get the ones I was hoping for. In the mean time, they promised me temp work. I’m not that jazzed about temp work, but it’s money in the bank. The company seems really well-run. Everyone was very friendly, and eager to get me into a job as soon as possible. I bonded with the temp lady — she also has a beagle. So we bonded over doggies and she told me about a huge park in the North side of town that’s fully fenced for the puppies. I’m going to search for it later today.

D and I went and bought a new suit for me yesterday. I have the one I wore when I got hired in Orlando, but it feels a little antiquated, and it’s kind of stuffy. This new one is more fitted, and has some funk. But I look like my mother. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, I guess. It feels wierd looking in the mirror and not seeing my hair all wild, with no earrings. Yes, I’ve kept my guaged earrings out for a while so that the hole’s are so noticible when I interviewed. I’m putting them back in shortly.

D took the train to work today. He’s also researched a bike route. It’s 17 miles each way, and goes up the hill, but he’s very eager to get back on his bike.

It snowed again yesterday. It didn’t stick, and there wasn’t any ice on the roads, but it was fun to watch. The shitty part? Our heat is busted on the car. Trying to drive through temps as low as 30 with no defogger was enough to drive me freaking nuts. My glasses can’t be dirty. The windshied can’t be foggy or have stuff on it. I have this odd obsession with clean glass. So as D and I ran errands last night, I kept a wad of napkins handy. Although wearing gloves while driving didn’t make keeping the windshield clean any easier. We are hoping the car is still covered under the extended warranty.

I need addresses for Xxx mas cards. Yes, I am sort of getting into the spirit. I blame it on my sister.

And now, I have school work to do. Have a happy Monday.
