Saturday

My post title is sooooo original, yes I know.....I'm brilliant. *eye roll* lol

I'm very happy that the weekend is here, as usual. Even though it will be painfully short, it's still my time to chill and do whatever. So far, whatever has included cleaning house, cleaning house, and lastly cleaning house. Z had to go into work early this morning. As quiet as he was trying to be he still woke me up. He gave me my mernin suga and off he went. As hard as I wanted to, I just could not go back to sleep so I lounged in the bed a little while longer while my brain tried to will my body up so I could get to cleaning. My brain eventually won because the house is now spic and span. I would like to thank J.Scott, Eryka Badu, De'Angelo, and ole school MJ for helping me to get 'er done!

This week has really been quite a doozy. I have honestly been so tired that I literally just wanted to lay down as soon as I entered to door. The culprit is work as it seems I have officially begun to actually put time in for what I do. Try as might to not work, the plantation just did not want to seem to want to give me a break this week. Oh well, as is life, these things do happen. *sigh*

I had an interview late yesterday afternoon. This lady called me out of the blue and told me she had seen my resume on Mon.ster and wanted me to come in. I had never even heard of this place before but from what I read while doing my research, they are a good company to work for. They've been around for 28 years are #1 in the industry they work in, never have had layoffs (this is a definite plus!!) AND you get to wear jeans every freakin day....my kind of job. I scheduled it for when I got off of work but had planned to dot out a few minutes early (count 30, lol) since it was on the other side of town. I wanted to make it earlier in the day but my boss was going to be in all day and since I knew I would be interviewing with a few different people I didn't want to take the chance of being gone longer than normal. Ha, yeah right. Lo and behold his ass takes a half a day off and left at lunch time.....that son of a biscuit!!! I am going to need for him to utilize his Outlook calendar function and update it to show "out of office" going forward. I need to know these things so that I can properly plan how I am going to use my "non-work" work time, lol.

Anway, the interview went well, but then again, I usually think that and never get the offer so I am probably just delusional. I first interviewed with the HR manager and generalist. That took like an hour and a half. Then I met with the VP and we talked for another 30 minutes or so. The company has a new system they just migrated to and the person filling this role would be responsible for bringing the big dawgs up to par on the system and running the reports for them, etc. As the guy I talked to put it, "I'm the most computer savvy person (of the higher ups) and I'm not really that computer savvy". Oh my............ So basically the person would have to be trained by the people @ Micro.so.ft to learn the product..........OH MY. I know I can do but really can I????!!!! Yeah, I can but there's always that little voice of doubt in my head that tries to steal my thunder. It's something I've done a million times before (learning dbms's and running reports) but there was always someone else there who knew more so I was safe in the fact that I didn't have that pressure to know everything........know what I mean? Honestly, I still hope I get the position. They didn't have a problem with my salary request (another plus). There is one more person being interviewed Monday in addition to the person they had Thursday, I hope they both sucked major ass! lol lol lol They are wanting to bring some in ASAP and I would be all to happy to leave my current employer ASAP (by choice, not force of course). I had to throw that out there cause words have power.......I know this from experience. So with that being said, I claim this job as mine and mine only and will not only do a good job but I will knock their freakin socks off!

Yesterday evening while we were watching "World Trade Center" on tv the doorbell rings. I mean rings, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, DING-MF'IN-DONG.

Me(loud): Oh heeeeeellllllllll no! Who in the hot devil hell is this ringin this bell like they done lost their rabbid ass mind??!!
Z: I don't know but they better need some help or they are going to need some help.

Z opens the door and I'm all up in the mix peekin around him. I'll be damn if it's some little kids, out waaaaayyyy past sunset, tryin to sell some ish. It was a quarter 'til 9 folks. I just walked off. I don't know what they were selling but they instantly lost my interest after showing that they had no home training ringing the doorbell like that. Z told them no thanks. Folks please school your kids that it is not okay (1) to be out and about after the streetlights come on (I'm old school and it's just a rule of thumb to me), (2) you only need to ring the doorbell twice; once and if no answer try again, if no answer after that move it along, and (3)your very YOUNG children, do not need to be going door to door by themselves when the moon is out. Yes they were with their slightly older sister and I consider our neighborhood to be quite safe but still you never know.

Anyway that's all that going on here in "The Way", I'm off to go and check out everyone's pages to get my updates.
