As usual, you are wise, Robin, and I understand. It's still so goddamn frustrating.

And the parents have special power. It doesn't ruin my day when a friend of mine suggested the same thing (lab job) a couple days ago. Of course, she didn't then claim that working in a lab is the One True Way to Happiness and Success.

Unfortunately, I hate the look of shirts etc. hanging out, it just looks unutterably sloppy to me. And it screams "I'm trying to hide the fact I'm not a twig!", too. The shirts always ride up on my big ass, too, and I'm always having to tug them down.

Ah, I misunderstood.

Nah, I just figure everyone knows what I mean, all the time, even when I'm not speaking.

I feel all productive today. Of course, that productivity has meant I spent 2 hours working on homework instead of work work, but I got my stuff done for class tomorrow night. And this makes me happy.

Tomorrow, I spend all day at a Catholic high school observing. I've never stepped foot in a private school, so this should be fun!

I think my interview went well today. What's more, I think I'd like to have the job. I'd be coordinating a benefit auction for a nonprofit that does outdoor activities (mostly hiking and rock-climbing) for girls and women. It's exactly what I'm good at--you're not going to find a better cat-herder than me--I hit it off with my potential supervisor, and she's the one who suggested I mostly work from home.

They're going to make a decision next week. Continued ~ma appreciated. If I don't get it, I'm going to try to take the attitude that somewhere out there is a permanent job in my desired salary range with my name on it, but I really want it.

All the ~ma I can muster for you, Susan.

Oh Susan, all the best to you. You sound like you've got it in the bag, girl.

Getting the perfect job ~ma, Susan. That's whether or not it's this one, but I hope it's this one so that you don't have to keep searching.

It really sounds like a good one, Susan. Best of ~~~ to you.

Yay, Susan!!
