(x-post w/Bitches and Natter)
Due to the fact that my company just announced that all of our San Diego operations will be moving to China and City of Industry by 3rd quarter next year (ie - I'll be getting laid off inside about 6 mos.), I'm going to be back on Buffistas a lot more in the very near future. (My recent dark-grey lurkiness being due to that whole too-much-internet-usage, your-job-may-be-in-jeopardy thing - that threat has substantially less power than it did a week ago. Huh.) So if you've missed me at all, I'll soon be substantially more visible.
Pre-emptive job and job search-ma much appreciated.
Should have gotten it in writing ...
Hubby's in the recovery room after his colonoscopy, the doc finds me in the waiting room: "Everything looks great, he's good for another five years." Your mouth to Goddess' ear, doc. Five years of peace would be very pleasant after the last five years I've had.
I just found out that I recieved a state grant/subsidy to complete some work I'm doing. This means that instead of paying $1150 out of pocket, I am having the work being paid for by the state.
So very happy!
I have a phone interview for a job I'd really like at 2pm eastern (less than an hour from now!). If y'all can send good interview-ma vibes, I'd appreciate muchly.
I am interviewing today for a new, slightly higher paying position at my current place of employ. I'm the only candidate being interviewed but I am still way too nervous. Calming -ma would be appreciated.
My interview-that-didn't-happen Friday has been rescheduled to 3:30PM today. Sounding-good-on-the-phone vibes would be much much appreciated.
MY interview that was snowed out Friday is today at 1:00. Due to said snow, I'm (horrors) wearing slacks instead of a skirt. Any job and fashion -mas would be appreaciated!
I was interviewed by Shawn!
Well, not really-- but it was a first year litigator and I kept wondering if she was a porny as the one we have here.
The partner, however, was called into a meeting-- so I'm back again tomorrow.

Regarding my interview this morning:
I hit it out of the park. If I don't get hired, it's because it wasn't meant to be, and the other candidate is more qualified. I highlighted all the experience and skills that correspond, how my future goals work with this position, how I want to work in higher ed, and that uuniversity specifically, how I have references from there, and also just generally clicked and brought up stuff before they could ask it. There was great chemistry with the interviewers. I had a really good time.
Out of 250+ resumes they got, they are only doing 2 interviews! Wow.
So, please, keep that jobma coming! The other candidate is interviewing tomorrow, and I should know shortly thereafter.
This would be a really good job for me and I need all the ~ma I can get!
