I know I've been quiet of late, partly because of a lot of the same old-same old, but also because I hate to stir things up, only to follow up with bad news. Which is one reason I don't talk about job hunting much, because that's such a black hole of despair.

A little while ago, I had a phone interview, which has been the first nibble I've had in eons. No, I don't have a job yet, sorry, but I *do* have another interview with someone else in the company on Friday afternoon. A second interview is HUGE---I've been sadly conditioned to hear, "We'll be in touch", then epic nothingness.

It's a work-at-home phone job, NOT cold-calling, and I heard about it via Ranger'sGrrl's mom (from church), who forwarded my resume to them. It's the kind of thing I can more or less do in my sleep, once I learn the particulars. Part time, but it pays decently, and at the moment, I'm not inclined to be choosy!

On a scale from 1 to 10 of how badly I need a job, I'm at about a 25. For the last two months, I've made my bills ONLY through the kindness and generousity of my friends, and the end of this month will arrive all too soon. Please, friends---cross your fingers for me, pray, or just hum along.

Thanks.

Thanks---I'm really hoping that it goes well and that I can start training next week so I can keep the lights on. I like light---according to my mom, that was my first word.

Friday you say? I'll be crossing everything I can cross for you... Good luck and I hope you get this, even if it isn't quite what you'd normally want for yourself, it would be a start, and who knows what might come from it.

Apparently, phones are my dharma this go-round. I can't seem to get away from them.

Thanks for the mojo, and I'll keep y'all apprised of the situation.

Thanks. Now, if I can just manage not to come unglued between now and then...I'm *so* nervous!

I am also crossing all the things I can for you. This is so good to hear! And for panic - deep breaths.

Thanks, honey. Having three days to angst about it is what's making vme nuts, I only had about 18 hours to fret about the first interview. I'll post as soon as I know something.

(And now I'm off to bed; I've been trying to get to sleep before 3AM, with mixed results.)

Yes, and as soon as I get my first paycheck, I'm buying a big package of batteries to celebrate!
