The NIGH****CHMAN - Friday & Saturday 10/9-10
Tomorrow my full time job is having Family Day at Speed Zone. Supposed to be in the 50's. That will be awesome. Mary and I will go and play a round or two of miniature golf, eat and then leave. It starts at 10AM and we have pictures for our church directory at 3PM.
After that going out to Reposados at 8PM. White Hot Soul (a local 70s band) is playing again. We get a pitcher of tea and a plate of nachos and are set for the night. Mary is a cheap date.
Alex (grandson) is down with the flu and Eddie is sluggish today too. Hope they get well soon. At least it hit during the four day weekend for Eddie, so he will miss no school. He got his report card Thursday and called me all excited. Straight A's.
So, what are you all up to?
Just so you know, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

It will be a quick little update as I'm supposed to be meeting Rachel, Sara and some other gals for Girls Night Out.
Yesterday, I interviewed from 7:30-10:05 with a medical supply company for a territory manager position. It was an odd format with three candidates there at the same time and we were allowed to socialize. It was slightly exhausting and while I felt pretty good about it, I wasn't sure if I was going to get it or not.
In the afternoon, I took Rick to DFW as he was going home for the weekend for a visit. After that, I had my interview for the technology company. It went great. I spent an hour and a half with the President of the company and we very much hit it off. Since the team is somewhat small, he wants me to come in for a 1/2 day (paid and lunch) to shadow and meet the team to ensure that the personalities mesh. We haven't scheduled that yet, but it's supposed to be one day next week. So, I think that one is mine to lose if I can't win the team over.
I got back to Rick & Nicole's and my cell phone rang. I was on the phone with Michael and since I didn't recognize the number and couldn't think of anyone I knew in Utah, I let it go to voicemail. When I listened to the message it was the Regional VP of the medical supply company. I couldn't get a read from his message as to what he was calling about. I returned his call and got his voicemail (of course, total Murphy's law!). I left a message and he called me back probably a 1/2 hour later. He offered me the job.
I'm very torn as I'd really prefer the tech company job but the medical company won't hold the job for me for a week. So, this morning, I accepted it. I went and filled out the confidentiality agreement, turned in all of the background check paperwork, got my drug test set up and signed the non-compete. Based on what the RVP told me, it will take a couple weeks for them to get all of the results back, so my start date will likely be 11/2. The day my unemployment runs out.
If the tech company job comes through, I'll contact the med company and politely decline. The tech job pays double the medical company and fits in better with my experience.
So, that's been my week. You can take me off of the job seekers list. :) Thank you for your constant support. I appreciate it so much.
I've gotta run, but I'll try to check in after girls night out. Prayers for all who need them.
