So today was good.
I have an interview tomorrow with B School District for a long term subbing job. I'm not all that stressed about it, since a.) if I don't get it, there's still daily subbing at the same district, and b.) it's only about $10 more than daily subbing. *shrugs* We will see. If it happens, cool, if not, it's ok.Because I'm still crossing my fingers for the NIH job Mom and I went Speed Shopping tonight to find me a new interview suit. Pro Tip? The Ross discount stores are AWESOME. Cute little pinstripe skirt and vest suit for $16. Very nice. I also may have gone down another dress size... but I'm not quite sure I've got the outfit for tomorrow pretty much planned in my head, so I just have to get hair, makeup and nails finished. Interview is in the afternoon, so everything should be ok.
Also, I am still squeeing over the fact that people seem to like "A House Mad From Grief". I'm so so happy with all the positive response and I'm thrilled people seem to like it.now if I can just get Turnabout Prince finished before it's one year anniversary
BCPS was very helpful when I called them. The guy in payroll I talked to said I'd have the necessary documents by the end of the week. He also said that if the people at MetLife give me any grief, to give him a call and he'll "rattle some cages". ...I find that mildly endearing.
Other than that... still kinda fighting a case of the blahs. When there's nothing specific you HAVE to do... it's really hard to get up the gumption to do much of anything. Going to work on that. I've started a sock, since the one scarf project I'm working on is very fiddly. >.> As in, it requires a LOT of attention to do. While knitting a sock is challenging, it isn't quite the same sort of fiddly. I also have to dig through the donated yarn to see if I find something I like for my Grandma. Dad has suggested my next prayer shawl be for her, and really, I can't blame him. The rest of the family can wait for their hats and whatnot. The one thing I'm kinda bumming about is the fact that I had all these great projects lined up for the Craft Meme... and it look like I won't get them finished in time mostly because of budget constraints. Things may get better once school starts or the MetLife money comes in. We'll see. Although money for this month isn't so tight anymore. Got a check from B School District for some homebound instruction I did. Yay for being able to make the bills!
