Laura, The waiting sounds like the easy part now! Between the stress of the interview and your upcoming chem test I hope you hear back very soon and that they give you good news!

Oh, thank heavens that the interview is over. I've been overly stressed out that I had to miss chem tutoring for it, because I'm seriously lost and have a test next Tuesday.
So back to the interview...
I walked to the library from the university. I'll stick with the "I wanted to enjoy the lovely, gale force winds while I got some exercise" reason and not admit to the "I was too lazy to deal with driving my car to my usual parking deck in order to pay exhorbitent parking fees and then have to drive back to campus and find a non-existent parking spot" one.
This decision was good, because I did burn off some of the nerves, but not all of them. It was a panel interview, and I am pretty positive I did a good job at answering their questions. I hope I accomplished my goal of making them work really hard to not pick me over someone else.
Now I sit and wait. Or rather, forget about it because I'm too busy trying to figure out how to avoid flunking this chem test.

Laura, i got all my toes crossed to the best of my ability. just for you.
Goals: 1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire. 2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy. 3. One word 2008: courage 4. Eat slow and mindfully.
I have an interview for a transfer to another department in the library on Tuesday. It's at least a department where I have lots of interests & some knowledge (and a much better fit than where I am now).
I'm okay with whatever happens, but of course if I didn't want to move to this department, I'd never have applied.
Hopefully school will not be adversely affected if I do, but I'm trying to only worry about doing a good job planning for the interview right now and getting a boatload of homework done this weekend too.
Any calculus whizzes care to help a girl out???

I really, really need to get my A** in gear and either go back to school or get another job. I work as a independent contractor-even though from what I read in a book about tax laws for self-employed I really should be considered and paid as an employee. I am paid on collections, so my paychecks are at the mercy of the person who collects due fees or the people who owe the money actually paying on time. I pay my own health insurance, and the company pays NO benefits at all, of course, because I am not their employee. I am a single mom and am one of those who lives paycheck to paycheck. I am sick of getting my checks and having to decide which bills I can pay. I have been with this company for many years now and yet I am making no more now(in fact some weeks less) than when I started. I feel some loyalty, because I, on a personal level, love the people I work for, but not from a business standpoint. I need to make some decisions, fast!

How many editions of that book are there by now? I remember reading it right out of college and then again when I changed jobs for the first time -- that was longer ago than I care to admit. The book was really helpful, though, and I'm glad to hear that you're taking some proactive steps.
Good for you, Peggy. You were so due to have things go your way!
I can't tell you what a difference just one day of telecommuting has made for me. I get so much more done on that day and yet I'm more relaxed at the end of the day. You're going to love it -- until you find your new gig, that is.

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO! Congrats, girl!

Oh my God Peg! everything came together just the way it was supposed to. it never ceases to amaze me that no matter how much we plan and project, things fall out as they should. i am such a planner so it has been interesting for me to let go of that "plan" little by little. I am thrilled for you. High Five girl!
