Redemption

Yesterday I did redeem myself and go to sleep early with my copy of The Seagull. I am interested in reading it before I see the production up at UC Davis. As usual, I did not last long and I think I turned the lights out just after 10.

10PM, y'all. THAT'S crazy.

So, it should be a surprise to no one that I started stirring at 4AM and that gave full permission to Maxie to start smacking my head and biting my hair to get me up. i wound up thwarting him for 2 hours and around 6:30AM I got up to feed the little felines. As usual, I went back to bed and slept HARD until 9AM. There were crazy dreams, none of which I could remember now.

I had some Earl Grey and made a yummy egg breakfast, but I was moving slow. After a shower, I sweated trying to get out the door for my first interview with a freshly printed CV and wet hair. Luckily I arrived at the theatre just in time and they were running late. I met with a pretty large panel for about 45 minutes and felt good. This is yet another Education Manager position. It is part time and it felt like a better match than the last one.

My fingers are crossed to make it to the second round.

A few hours later I drove to Oakland for my second interview - at a restaurant. When I walked in the door there was a HUGE line of people waiting to speak to one woman at a table in the middle of the dining room. I realized that my 15 minutes in the meter around the corner was not going to do it, so the gentlemen behind me offered to save my spot as I ran to move my car to a non-metered spot. I came back out of breath and there was still 5 people ahead of me. A gentleman joined the lady and then she moved to another table and started seeing people as well. I thought I would have a better shot with the guy, but as it turned out I spoke with the woman who had no social skills and just asked me about the hours I could work and if I could use the POS software. That's it. I was outta there in less than 2 minutes.

Needless to say, I am not very optimistic here.

My stomach is still full from the chicken stew and pasta I ate 2 hours ago. I need to get ready for Sarah's dance class at The Beat. And then the countdown starts for my first yoga training class on Saturday. Oh, and my roomie comes back.

Oh gosh, does that mean there needs to be more cleaning?

*sigh*
