Crappy Start, But Great End To The Week
Well, if you had told me this week would be bipolar, I wouldn't have believed you. But it was.
Early in the week, it was pretty much craptacular. I received rejections for EVERY interview I had done a couple of weeks ago. And that sucked because they were great interviews. I also received a couple of rejection letters from a couple of places I had sent my resume. It sucked, because that means I'd have to stay in my current job longer.
Even worse news reared its ugly head as well. I had been happily buying Cheerwine off the shelves of Winn-Dixie, but it suddenly disappeared a couple of weeks ago. The store didn't have any definitive answers, so I called the distributor. It turns out they chose to STOP SELLING Cheerwine in the area. Needless to say, that pissed me off.
However, about midweek, things did a complete 180. A week and a half ago, I did a phone interview with a company out of Nashville. I didn't have the years of experience, but I thought my mad SQL skillz would serve me well. I received a call from them... they want to bring me in for a second interview next Friday. They're flying me in and everything.
I'll pretty much be in Nashville for a few hours on Friday, mostly at the interview. However, on the way back to the airport, I'll stock up on Cheerwine... I'll bring a bag just for that purpose, and check it on the way home. Hopefully, I have a little time to get some snackage at White Castle as well. And most of all, I hope to land the opportunity. We'll see.
I got the travel info yesterday, so I went to get a haircut, and to buy a new belt. See, losing weight is paying off! I believe that I'll be UNDER 200 pounds at weigh-in tomorrow... I haven't been that since high school.
So this week went from suck - kickass in a couple of days. Can't complain.
