Last night when I went to watch my movie, the DVD got jammed in the bedroom DVD player. It wouldn't play or eject. I couldn't deal with it last night, so I goofed off online and cleared shows off of the upstairs DVR until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.
I got up before 8 this morning, applied for a job and started preparing for my interview tomorrow. The printer also didn't get hooked back up after painting, so that took me nearly an hour to get working, but finally got my resumes printed. At 11, I decided to attempt taking apart the DVD player. I was able to get into it, and get the DVD out. Then, since I already had it open, I started tinkering with it and got it to work! I felt so smart!!! So, it was kind of irresponsible, but as a reward, I watched my movie. It was sweet and somewhat uplifting. When that was over, I ended up with a phone interview that lasted nearly an hour. It was then time to get ready for my shrink appointment.
I had a good session with my shrink. On the way home, I went to Target for protein bars and new curtains for the family room, Walgreen's for vitamins and to return the movie, and then to get my eyebrows separated back into two (the one thing I *hate* about being Greek is the swarthiness!). I got home just after 5.
Throughout the day, I've been putting stuff back where it belongs, cleaning and it seems the dishwasher is constantly running. Things are starting to come together and there are parts of my house that are seriously the cleanest they've ever been.
I got an email from my phone interview that he wanted to do an in-person second interview, but will not be coming to San Antonio as he has no other candidates here. He asked if I'd be willing to meet 1/2 way between Houston and SAT on Saturday or Sunday. I told him I had company this weekend and that was a no go, but I would be in DFW tomorrow if he was available. So, I have a noon interview for the pharma sales position and a 4pm interview for this tech sales job. It's going to be a crazy long day tomorrow as I don't expect I'll get home before 11pm now. Coco and Cosmo are not going to be happy with their Mommy.
I've got a lot to do around here, I still have paint in my hair from the weekend and I need to get to bed early as the alarm is set for 4am. I'm not tired at all so I'm not sure what to do right now. I guess I should shower and get the paint out of my hair as that is definitely not the impression I want to make on a perspective employer.
I'll check in before I go to bed. Have a good night. Prayers for all in need.
