The interview is over, so now it's out of my hands - oh please let them hire me!!!!!!!!!
I feel so relieved that it's over! My interview!! And I think it went well! I really liked both Courtney and Greg, more than I thought I would. I was nervous and I talked a little too much at the beginning. And at one time I said "peoples" but I didn't want them to think that I think that's correct, so I stopped and said "I mean "people", I'm a little nervous!" And at the end, I told them how I have known about this agency for 3 years and been sort of watching for a job opening, and how I have researched the agency in every way and the division in which I'd work in particular, and how I think I would really like this job, and that my experience would really help me. And that if I was lucky enough to get this job, it would be my career - i.e. I am here to stay, and am not looking for just some stepping stone. They seemed to like all that. There are four others that they interviewed. I think three yesterday and one right after me, but I'm not completely sure. And no veterans, so that's wonderful. I just hope so much that they liked me, and see that I can do a good job, and would enjoy having me there, and also that they didn't super connect with one of the other applicants. I now just have to wait to see if I get a call from HR. I so hope I do. I've really put all my eggs in this basket, really all my hopes in this job. And the more I learned about the job, the more excited I got about it, and felt that I would really like doing it. I'm glad that the interview is over and I feel good about it and told them about all the research I did and how much I want the job etc. I'm glad I won't look back and regret something. And I'm glad that I did everything and it's now out of my hands. I just hope I get it now!!! Otherwise I'll start doubting, and I'll have to find something else. Of course, I've always tried to have the view that everything happens for a reason, and so if I don't get this job, I'll tell myself that God just has a different plan for me. It won't be easy at first, but I think I tend to pick back up relatively quickly, even though it's from denial and I don't deal with the real pain. But I so hope I don't have to deal with any of this and that I get the job. I so so so so so so hope!
Right after the interview Courtney just walked me to Tivo's office, since he obviously knew I'd want to visit with her. I was excited and giddy and also told her about my silliness!!! I'm so happy she was there today! And that she helped me by talking to Courtney about me! Tivo, I hope you're reading this over your morning coffee!!!! You're wonderful!!!! And I can't wait to see the pictures of the hole in your wall that Zoe made, even though it's not really funny!
I went back to work after the interview and talking to Tivo, and changed out of my suit. I feel like I'm dressing up in my mom's clothes when I wear a suit! And then I talked to my bosses who were so supportive. At a little after 5:15 (I was a few minutes late - I'm sorry!) I met Violet and FireCracker at Poag Mahone's - they are so wonderful and took me out for a joint celebration of my birthday and second interview! Tivo met us there after she got off work, and we had beer and wonderfully, sinfully yummy spinach artichoke dip, and then later Violet and I had fabulous burgers. It was so fun and I loved hanging out with them and girl talking and it was just wonderful! I love having girls who like to sometimes just hang out with ourselves instead of the guys as well. Guys are always fun, but sometimes it's great to just be the girls. And girlfriends are so important. I feel blessed to have such friends!
Oh - I have to do my food etc for yesterday. I was extremely bad, so feel free to just not look at it. Sometimes I see a compulsive side of myself. I'll also write down the weekend. And today.

Okay, finally finished. From recounting the badness.
I again didn't call my friend. Instead, I have hid from it by drinking a bottle of wine. I'm such a coward. I'll call her tomorrow in the late morning. It's easier to make myself do things at work, because I don't have as many other distractions to hide behind.
