Guest guest Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 The infamous Power Chair (my 'Electric Chair') is due to arrive in about 13 days! Whee!I hope that Himself gets that job!Love to you, , and to all close to you,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Tue, November 9, 2010 12:34:26 PMSubject: Update sorta First off, prayers for everyone who is sick or depressed or just plain worried and tired... Welcome to the new folks! Yay n and The Electric Chair! :-D Where I've been - I have been working on stitching and so on, and seems like that was about ALL I could do - I think the stress of Himself being unemployed for all this time has come out in my neck and shoulder freezing up, and ME kind of getting stuck in "stasis" - just waiting waiting waiting and unable to really DO anything while I'm waiting. It happens to me now and then, it's very annoying ... Anyway, the story of the job - Himself was recommended for the General Manager position at a shiny new extended stay hotel, had the preliminary interview a couple of weeks ago. The last Monday? Tuesday? The headhunter called and asked to be emailed his resume, then emailed Thurs setting up an interview appt for 11:30 PM!!! Fri night. We thought this was a little weird, but since he would be traveling from out of town we thought maybe that was the answer - and of course Himself wouldn't pay attention to the wifey and email a check-it ... :-P SO anyway, Himself got all done up in his best suit and went to this interview at 11:30PM, where he sat all by himself for 2 hours because the headhunter guy had been there at 11:30 AM.... Then Saturday morning we got up to find Himself's favorite best-buddy cat had been closed up overnight in the library and was dying - Himself had spilled very strong coffee, apparently nto found all of it on the cleanup, and Buster had drunk it. We think perhaps he had some sort of kidney problem we didn't know about - cats are very bad about hiding any sign of sickness until it's too blessed late to do anything for them - and the overdose of caffeine and artificial sweetner was the last straw... Losing him was a huge shock, and on top of the "whattheheckhappened" about the interview was almost too much for Himself to deal with.... We spent a very quiet Sunday, skipped church because Himself wasn't ready to deal with people, went out in the afternoon for a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. First thing yesterday morning, the headhunter guy called to apologize for HIS mistake and to reschedule the interview for 11:30 yesterday morning - Himself was in town at job service, and JUST had time to rush home and get all prettified AGAIN. He feels that the interview went really really well - he got some "Brownie points" for showing up to the WRONG interview, he has VERY good recommendations, and he is apparently in the last 5 out of almost 500 applicants.. So we are supposed to hear one way or the other by the end of the week, and we are praying hard - he would be perfect for this position, and he very very VERY much wants it. And that;s the story of our last week or two... tonight I am cooking a ham in applebutter, some au gratin potatoes, and whatever green veg I lay hands on first, possibly with some hot apple pie to follow.... Stressed, tired, nervous, very cautiously hopeful... Oh yeah, and getting snowed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
