After spending the years since high school trying to find my athletic "niche" and not really ever feeling it...I finally decided to check out the triathlon world. So far, I'm lovin' it!

Shippin' up to Boston...for an interview!!!
Sorry for all the short posts lately...to those of you who are still actually reading my blog. I have been so super busy, as I keep saying! So this morning I woke up and was feelling all motivated (mostly motivated by nerves!) because I had a phone interview for a job at the Boston Children's Museum. I was trying to stay busy until 11:30 when my interview was because I was nervous...and man, I think I should be nervous more often, because I got so much done! First I added color, font, animation and timings to the power point my group made. It looked pretty cool when I was done, and hopefully the group will be happy because I was able to consolidate it down from 11 slides to 6. The max for the project is supposed to be 5, hopefully the teacher will let 1 slide..well, slide. Haha...That's a bit of computer humor for my computer geek boyfriend who I love so much...hehe love you Bryan! Haha...anyway, I also applied for maybe 6 jobs and then took a break and read some of the book I am reading: Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult...she is an awesome author! Anyway, I was feeling depressed because I counted 48 jobs that I had applied for on SchoolSpring since about May, and probably 20 more that I had applied to through other sites. Thats 68 jobs, and I had one phone interview, which, by the way I don't think will be the job for me because the pay is worse than what I get now and there are no benefits...and for those of you who know how much I make now, you know I could NOT possibly survive on my own on any less. Lol. Anyway, I typed this message into facebook saying how I was feeling down about not getting any interviews from the 68 jobs I applied for. I pushed "post" and as soon as it posted my phone rang. It was the principal of a school in Boston asking me to come in for an interview! She has a 1st grade position available and my friend who used to work there had recommended me to her. I have an interview on Monday at 11, which explains the title of my post, I am going to Boston...probably I will leave early tomorrow morning and go to Bryan's parents house, because that's where he will be. Then on Sunday I will go back to my apt. and get ready for the interview. Eeek! Wish me luck! I'm going to have lunch now and then go out for a long bike ride to clear my mind and practice interview questions in my head while I ride..yes, I'm a dork, I know. Haha. I am hoping to ride to my sisters house and back, which is about 20 miles...20 very very hilly miles...let's hope I make it through the heat and humidity! Anyway, off to have some spicy pad thai for lunch...yum yum!

Glad to hear about the grade one position opening up. Don't forget to tell them that you have a lot of experience in grade one. That you repeated it 3 times. haha. All kidding aside, good luck, I hope you get it.
ReplyDeleteAre you coming to the beer run and payne-a-poolza?

Weird how you found a boyfriend with the name Bryan that is spelt like mine with a Y. Was his real name Robert and in order for him to date you he had to change it to Bryan. hahaha.
Thats exactly it...I told him I would only date him if he changed his name. Yeah, it really complicates things because if I mention him on here then I have to say "my boyfriend Bryan" or I have to say "my triathlete friend Bryan" for you...haha...I want to come to Payne-a-palooza...but unfortunately I don't think it's gonna happen because I just got the job and I have to be around to prepare....plus I don't have a passport! But I am hoping I can come next year!!
