Here it is. Tuesday morning.
Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day. The temperatures soared to eighty-something and I got the Jeep washed over lunch. The dealer I bought the Jeep from gave me a coupon for thirty days of free washes at an touchless car wash. Although the coupon only gives you the basic wash, I splurged and had the wheels shined. Before picking up the kids at the bus top I put the top down. It was great.
Since we had to go out for another of my daughter's soccer games it made for a good evening cruising around with the top down till almost 8 pm after my daughter's team kicked the snot out of the other team.
Now, the temperature's dropped to near sixty. It's gray and rainy. The forecast includes snow later this week.
Mother Nature is a skanky tease.
With two tasks at hand this morning at work I'm trying to find the motivation to begin either of them. The same old thing.
After interviewing last week for a new job, I expected that I might find out where I stood as early as Friday of last week. I imagine that there is still the possibility that I am being considered for the position, but as the days add up this week my optimism is dwindling. They did contact my current employer. To me that's a sign that I am a contender, but it is kind of a double edge sword. With the cat out of the bag, so to speak, now my employer knows I'm looking. There are some that would fire me just for even thinking about it. Fortunately, that's not the case here. But, if they're going to call my employer I think they better be prepared to offer me the job. After all, I did give them three other personal references related to the kind of work I do that would have sufficed instead of calling my boss.
Regardless, I need to get this crap done so that at least I project an image that is consistent with someone doing their job.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for the job...I love Jeeps...we had one with my husband and it was a great car!!!
Have a great one:)

Some Aussie fingers still crossed here for you. In my book bad form to contact a current employer unless the jobs yours - here's hoping. Almost went job hunting myself this week but things have settled down a bit since then.
