I had another phone interview this evening (well, I suppose since it's past midnight I can say that it was yesterday.) It's a very small independently owned company in Oakland. I have an in person interview on Saturday where he will likely test my ability to perform like a chimp some basic office tasks (remind me to brush up on my excel skills) and there may very well be math involved and that would be all bad. I'm hoping my charm and stellar ability to BS my way through life will pay off. Trouble is, my professional wardrobe is much smaller than my body these days. So I must hit up the goodwill for something that hides my tattoos.
This phone interview went WAY better than the last one. This time I was totally prepared. It's hard when you are applying to at least 5 places a day to keep them all in order. I have been very careful about making sure I know exactly where I've been sending my resume though, and when he called I was totally ready and very confident.
I am still trying to catch up on the last couple of weeks of reading for my last final and I have to start my last paper for my other class. I also have to prep and send out my graduation announcements, and all the while we are still waiting to find out about whether or not Dasan will receive the scholarship for the DC program. If not, we are in big trouble. The deadline to register is May 14th. That's a lot of money to raise while all this other stuff is going on.
One day this will all pay off. All of this struggle and stress will seem worth it. Right now it's just a chore to try to remember to breathe.

it really will all pay off, just keep at it. You're setting a great example for Dasan and you can't put a price on that. Hang in there mama!
