I guess this is "Frank gets nibbled to death by ducks day" here at work. Every time I get a head of steam going on something, somebody interrupts me with a piddling little request, irrelevancy or question, and it is getting. On. My. Last. Nerve.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, they rescheduled and were nice about it. I THINK the interview went well, but I know being wrong about the time would be a big black mark against a candidate in my book.Just gotta wait and see. I really want this job.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You ARE in California...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, good luck, Scrappy. Can you reiterate how unlike you this is in a followup note?

I swear 5 hours have gone by since I looked at the closk at 3pm.
Doesn't help that the admin who sits right by me has her granddaughter here and said child will NOT sit down and read her book.
ION - I did manage to get a couple of things off my desk that needed doing. I am reaching that point of winding down the job where the battle to finish EVERYTHING is overwhelming and the attitude of "good enough" is starting to emerge.
