Got an interview

Hi everyone,

Well, it's time for me to get back to work. I applied for a job the other day, just got a call for an interview.

I'm very nervous.

It's been 10 years since I've been in the work place. Over 10 years since I've gone to an interview.

I have no idea what to expect, what's changed since the last time I did this.

They want three references. Do they just want the names, addresses, phone numbers, or a letter of reference? Letters are going to be hard, I haven't worked in 10 years, calling my old employer up for a reference isn't going to be easy, if it's even possible.

Scared here. My stomach is doing flip flops.

I have until Thursday.

Gulp.

Any tips?

No candies today, or chocolate, but there was one kind 80 year old English professor that adored me so much he asked if he could kiss both my cheeks. I told him he could kiss one. He didn't expect it, so he took my hand and kissed that instead. There was also a lady that asked if she could buy me a coffee because mine was out. Of course I declined but that was so sweet.

My boss came out front, took me aside to tell me that everyone in my line up had commented that I had made their experience wonderful. They forgot that they were getting their flu shot. In fact, most of them stopped by on their way out to say good bye to me.

I love it.

I really love it.

I really hope I get asked back next year. This is like having fun and getting paid for it. The best of both worlds.

I despise needles even though I have to give myself two shots a day for this damn diabetes. Could you please come over and hold my hand, my head and run your fingers through my hair while I take the shots....please.

Passport, plane ticket, time off. That's all I need and I'll be there.

I got mine yesterday. It was no big deal.

I used to have to get my blood drawn every week when I was younger because my kidney disease was acting up, so they had to check the cell count and stuff. I'm still scared of them though. Yuck

I know, but it keeps the jitters away when you or Marta hold my hand, it's all psychological, just the idea of sharp metal going in my under arm, belly or inside thigh

. That way I get my hand held...
