Hump Day

I had a job interview yesterday! Last week I wrote a post about how I submitted three job applications. In that post, I wrote about turning down a job shortly before I started my blog. One of the three jobs that I recently applied for is in the same organization as the job I declined.

On Friday, the director from that organization called me; he wanted to talk about why I declined the first position and to tell me a little about the new opening. I explained how Job 1 was not the change that I was looking for and blah blah blah (great blogging skills, right?)🙂

He obviously liked that answer because he scheduled an interview, which was yesterday. Another man from the Job 1 interview panel was at yesterday’s interview as well. There was also a third interviewer, a woman, who was not at the first interview, but she escorted me out afterwards and we bonded. I think the interview went well.

When I arrived at my cubicle after my job interview, one of my staff told me she couldn’t enter data into the computer system she routinely uses. We reached out to IT. Lo and behold, one of my asinine bosses had changed my staff person’s privileges to “read only”. We have a nickname for that boss that isn’t suitable for a G-rated blog.

I notified my immediate boss (aka “useless”) and he was useless - hence the nickname. Meanwhile, I have to complete a friggin TPS Report if I want to so much as move a pushpin in my cubicle! Getting my bosses to sign off on anything takes weeks (and many hours of meetings amongst themselves to discuss). Ugh.

In other news, so much for keeping out of the grocery store midweek - I lasted two days. We had to pick up prescriptions and allergy medicine, so of course we got more groceries!

However, I have been doing good with my little acts of kindness.

I have been posting mostly from my iPhone lately because I love the auto complete feature. The downside is I can’t comment from my phone - either on other blogs or my own blog. Since I’m on a computer all day at work, I tend to avoid the computer in the evening after I get home. I’m going to dedicate some time this weekend to comment on all the great posts on the blogs I follow.

Hope you are having a happy hump day!
