Feb. 18th, 2016 01:24 pmCrazy weird week.
My interview for the fellowship thing at work was Monday and was very short (15 mins). It was odd. but I guess I had made it that far. They had 200 applicants that they down selected to interview 45-50 and now downselect to the 15 for the program. HR was there which was again odd but this is for career growth so its not surprising but it was? The questions were pretty basic I think. Talk about something technical that you did, what you hope to get out of the program etc. It was just short....I kinda expected more. But its done and now I wait to see if I made it. If I didn't well at least I know I put an effort in and did it versus letting the opportunity pass me by.
I've hit the gym once this week...monday I figured I wouldn't have time but I was tired too. I was up way too late on Sunday night and mel has a bit of a cold so he's snoring and won't stop and then Ben woke up screaming about a bloody nose at 4 am. I think I got 3.5 hours of sleep. But at least I looked good and professional. Been trying to step the clothing game up. With the weather in the high 80s to 90s it was cute skirts and clothes and I need to get more summer weight style shirts and light weight sweathers/shrugs.
The department is having a heck of a time replacing me and need me to fully write out all of the stuff I do. The first few applicants were not ideal. Well, that is good, I'm hard to replace. :)
No word quite yet on my transition but they need a warm body before I can move. Plus I have one large task to finish.
Other than that...I'm ready to be done with work and getting ready over the weekend and monday for estrella. I took both the monday before and the monday after it off for my sanity. Its so nice. Got a lot to do but I have time to take my time, think things through and make sure I have everything for the 45 people we are feeding/housing. Eep!
We have the work for the new porches starting when we get back from Estrella. We need to clean the porches off and chuck everything old in the yard. So I know we will be busy when we get back.
I'm also waiting for the final quote on the cooler replacement from the 3rd company. Soon we will have awesomeness at the house. We got the new patio door last week and its so nice.
