I love us. For so many reasons. And I think i need to find a lantern ceremony for myself.

Vortex I'll remember that!

So Mom is sick and Dad's sick, but they are in different states so I think they have different things. Mom has wanted to come up all summer and was planning for Septmeber but that got away so now she's trying to figure out if October will work otherwise it will be Jan earliest she can come visit. They freeze vacation time for the most part in November and December.

I really want Mom to come up and visit so I hope this works out.

I have a phone interview tomorrow, an interview (the second one with this university) on Thurasday, and now an interview with a WI college a week from this Weds. After a worrisomely long time without anyone calling, this is a bit of a relief. (Now I just have to get past the interview stage to actual offers.)

Good luck, Calli!

Remember how I interviewed with that big company in Seattle last year? Well, I'm back in the interview loop with them. First phone interview is on Friday morning with a guy I met last year. Here we go again.

I'm going to a conference Wednesday and bought a couple of dresses. Which one do you guys like best? Also, what type of shoe????

Kensie sleeveless mod-style (in buff, not black): [link] Ann Taylor short sleeved edgy striped dress (got this in the store for like $45!!!!): [link]

Interview~ma all round.

Both cute dresses. Stripy dress is super cute.

Ooh! I would super-support GlamFamily in Seattle!

First thought: Both dresses are awesome and you should have both AND a job wherever you want.

Second thought: I have clearly been going to the wrong kind of conferences.

Stripey dress!!!

Interview~ma for everyone!

And pretty dresses.

So my supervisor made a sexist comment kinda joke and I didn't call him out directly by saying "That's not cool" but he asked me to reorganize a section that's for clearance and orphan products and instead of just stopping with "I thought you would do the job well" he added stuff about my women's intuition and being a woman or something. He was sort of joking. (I think it can be hard to tell, he's Polish sometimes he has translation issues).

So I told him he'd picked the wrong person for decorating style since I don't have that, but I can make the display look better.

I fumed a bit about it, I wasn't mad as much as frustrated because I really hate putting up with this shit. So I told the manager on duty who said that wasn't cool and he would talk to my supervisor.

I think it was supposed to be a light hearted joke and it fell flat.

The supervisor has also been telling me I'm doing really well at my job and he knows that when I get more experience I'll be able to perform better and he has that expectation so it's not like he thinks I'm just good at rearranging stuff and making it look nice. If that's what I thought then I would be extremely pissed and would have called our HR hotline.
