Well Hello 2012.....

It's been another month that's come and gone without a post. Again, I apologize. There really hasn't been too much to post lately. I mean last time I wrote about being depressed and blah, blah, blah.... Right now? Well I guess I'm a little bit better. New year, new me right? Well that's what I'm hoping for.... Or at least maybe a year without all the death and that shit that I went through last year... Two weeks into the new year and I think things are gonna be alright. I'm dealing with some difficult friend issues that I'll go into detail on another post which have got me a little down, but it'll be ok because over the last year working at the bar, I've found that I've made some wonderful new friends. I had a job interview last week for a job with the state. It's a little less money than I'd like to be making, but the benefits would be pretty freaking sweet, so I'm down with it. I got the call on Monday that they were holding interviews on Friday. The lady apologized for it being two months after I had filled out the application and asked if I was still looking. Of course I am, so I set up an interview for Friday morning and started stressing out immediately. I haven't interviewed for a job in 13 years..... I've interviewed people for jobs, but not been the interviewee.... Ugh. I talk to some of my regulars at the bar and they assure me that I can do it. I feel a little better. Thursday night it starts raining, then snowing and the roads get bad. Ugh. My interview was downtown at 9:45. Not the place you want to be when there's bad weather. I find a place to park and head into the building in which I would be working if I got this job. It's a beautiful, huge building and I get lost like three times before I finally find where I'm supposed to be. I make it into the office with like 5 minutes to spare and prepare myself. I'm greeted by a nice older gentleman and am led to a room with 5 other people sitting behind a table. I can feel my blood pressure rising as I sit my coat down and take the only empty seat in the room. They go around the table and introduce themselves. I'm at a loss as to who all of them were at this point, but basically it was anyone in the office with the title Director. I've never interviewed in front of 6 people at once. They kept me in there for an hour not only grilling me about my technical expertise, but all the requisite other questions about my goals and aspirations. After it was all over with, they all thanked me and let me know that they would be making phone calls to those who would move on to the next round of interviews in two weeks. I've still got a week to wait..... Ugh. Hmm, what else.... Oh yeah, the "relationship" part of my life..... Ok, let's put all that in another post because it's gonna be a long one.....
