Scared

I sent out a resume today for a job I am more than qualified for.  The ad was looking for an office manager for a local (smaller) fairly new in town  car dealership just over the county line.

I could so do this in my sleep and have still have fun with it and enjoy it and make more money.

I'm nervous.  I checked my voice mail on my cell phone at least six times today.  I only sent my resume over this morning and I was hoping some nameless someone (who will be my future co-worker) would pull it off the fax machine and while dancing through the showroom at the dealership, clicking their heels together like some deranged Munchkin while singing, "This is our new employee!  SHE is IT!"  would then call me and leave me voice mails and send me  emails until I finally succumbed and said, "All right, I'll come for an interview in my shorts and boots, just don't judge me on my outfit okay?  Because I know I am going to love you, too."

The job market here is terrible.  We have the second highest rate of unemployment in the country, second only to Washington, D.C. 

Do you think I would look really bad if I called them tomorrow and asked if I can schedule an interview or should I be a bit more coy and give them another day?

I am seriously geeked about this job, I think I could be great at it.  (NOTE:  All this speculation is based upon a five line help wanted ad in the local paper.  I am insane, I know this.  I just function at a very high level.)

Also, I am going to have to scrape to come up with an appropriate interview outfit.  It's been a long time.  I've done a lot of purging of clothes, especially when I went into my, "I will never have to wear a fucking pantsuit or skirt or nice slacks again"  jump about squeal with glee mode and donated a lot of my former "work" clothes.

I'm way over that, by the way.  I am sick of wearing work boots and jeans.  Once in a while, I'd like to look like I am going to work, rather than going to wash my truck in inclement weather.

I'm scared because I know, I am going to call these people and if necessary, grovel.

This is a boring site, and you are a boring person.

Well, that was pretty mean, Larnie...guess you don't know Lisa very well at all. And she probably doesn't want to know the likes of you. Jerk.

[Stacy]

Hey, Larnie! SUCK IT!

[Martin]

Well that shows Larnie's best parts doesn't it? All in one statement he summed himself (or herself, who can tell) up. Now that is a talent, I doubt I could do it.

Have you heard from Liberty in Milford? My Uncle works there. I have asked him put in a good word for you! Thanks again for the spam. I fried it up and put it on sourdough bread with jalepeno mustard, course ground pepper and freshly chopped onions. Please send some more!
