    Amen to that.

    Well I go on two mock interviews in a few weeks as the final from my portfolio class... maybe one of those will surprise me.. :)

    Mock interviews? Like you go to a real business to get a feel for what you'll have to do, only there's not really a position?

    Basically.

    See I'm in portfolio right now, which is the final class you take in a design degree. You build the portfolio, have it critiqued, and you write resumes etc. Then as a final you get all dolled up like you were going to a real interview, portfolio in hand, and go on mock interviews. These are conducted at local design firms with their creative director. They look at your book and conduct an interview just as if you were coming for a position. Then they submit their thoughts and opinions back to my instructor and she gives me a final grade... sometimes, you get lucky, and the mock interview suddenly becomes a real interview and they hire you, but not typically... it is really stressful.

    Wow. That sounds scary!

    I know that you'll do well, though. How could anyone not like you and want to hire you?

    Good luck, Start!

    Al, I don't know how you do it sweety... good luck today! You deserve some veggies...
    Thanks Synn, off I go

    Lol. Thanks Synn... IM not so sure though, IM much shyer in person, esp if I'm nervous.

    Yes I have to have my portfolio completed by next Wednesday, and then I present to my class first, then the interviews are the week after. IM nervous though, and we are required to wear a suit (my office is casual dress) and I really don't want to go buy a maternity suit I will never wear again, and my old one doesn't fit. Im just ready for it all to be over. Its finals time and I'm in 3 classes right now plus 40 hours at work, so I haven't really been sleeping a lot and I have been working non stop. I hardly have seen connor, except last night when he managed to fall in the toilet... its all really getting to me now.

    So if I seem a little distant/and or moody, please ignore it :)

    Good luck Start! Im hoping things work out well for the boys

    Try a consignment shop, Al. There's usually nice clothing, for MUCH cheaper than you pay new, and there are some that cater to maternity clothing.

    The other option is to wear a suit jacket you own open, over a maternity top, and just buy a matching pair of maternity pants or skirt!

    Thanks!! I hadn't thought of that... I tried our local maternity/baby stuff consignment shop for one, and they didn't have anything... but I may be able to pull something off by mixing the two.

    Nosnosna
    I want to be tazered.

    I'm sure that comes as no surprise to anyone.

    And Synn will now chime in saying I DESERVE to be tazered.

    See, we sell tasers in my husband's shop, so we wanted to see what it was like so that the shop could sell them better.

    Nothing kinky guys, get your heads out of the gutter. LOL
  • Jul 12, 2007, 09:45 AM

    Be honest: nothing kinky YET.

    LMAO, I am being honest, and that's not my idea of kink. It may be his, but not mine
