Got my results back from the oral board.... {sickening drum roll here}
ahem... I actually managed to pass the bloody thing and get on the list.... barely.
I placed low --- really low.... like, I think I came in closer to first in the last footrace I was in.
sigh.
Well, I guess I don't have to make a decision about whether or not to accept this job when the project is over. I'm not high enough to interview.
So, here is the delimma.... I can work my a** off (been working 12+ hour days lately AND my freaking day off), manage to get this project rolling and not get the job OR I can work my 40 hours a week, do what I can and still NOT GET THE JOB. Hmmmm....
Or, I could work my butt off (but not as many hours as I have been putting in), do a good job, and just be glad that I can add to my experience --- actually working in an area where I don't have a lot of experience... experience that I need for the next level.
Okay - on another note... I have a great boyfriend!
So, he doesn't do drum corps. I mean - he'll go to the shows with me as long as he can bring a book - but he doesn't geek out on drum corps. BUT - he is totally supportive of me geeking out over drum corps!
AND - he and my dad (Pappy) get along! They were trading stories all weekend. Made me a little concerned that there wouldn't be enough oxygen in the little town of Clyde for all the gum-flapping that they were doing.
Yup - and he is nice in many other ways.... he cooks, he loves doggies, he loves my doggies, he and my daughter actually like each other....
Sigh. It is 6:39 AM. I need to leave in 20 minutes. I haven't even approached the shower, much less think about what clothes are clean and match.... don't wanna go to work.....
maybe I should move to Australia.
