Working On A Quirky Graph

When the line gets a little blurry, you’re gonna need somebody like me.

Mainly because I’m not the ideal candidate. I’m not that person you look at and think, oh yeah, that person has it, clearly they are a master of their fate.

Could be the cowlick that refuses to be tamed at the back of my head exacerbated by the headphones I am beginning to need as my tiny laptop speakers are not doing justice to the people who live in various parts of the world and I visit via my computer screen.

Could be the almost dark circles crowding around my eyes in an effort to fuse with my pupils, hiding from whatever seems to be preventing me from getting a good nights’ sleep. Personally I have a side bet that my sinus’s are conspiring against my brain to inhibit the adenosine for funnsies to see how my mouth will retaliate. It won’t enjoy the FAFO process when I’m out of allergy medicine this spring if I’m broke, but at the moment both sides are in this odd standoff and I’m pretty sure I’m standing on the sidelines holding my breath.

Of course, if I were better at makeup or had the patience, desire, money or time to sit through endless video tutorials and learn how to do my eyes correctly perhaps I wouldn’t look like I was fully glammed up in the middle of the day to do the interviews, but alas. I can’t seem to dreg up any more excitement for that than I would to do a full house deep clean. Speaking of, perhaps I should find a quick housecleaning before things drastically change at the end of the month.

Needless to say, I didn’t get the job I had been interviewing for. I want to feel bad about that, but when you’re in an interview and the people you are talking to are honest telling you how much things aren’t quite right, perhaps it is time to count the blessings and wish everyone well. Maybe even wave for a positive ending credit. With all the fingers. I let the friend that recommended me know so they wouldn’t be blindsided at work, and hopefully my involvement in the process didn’t come back and bite them. I’m a bit worried that they took it harder than I did, but all I can do there is give that double thumbs up and let them know to call me if they have any other concerns. Or openings. The fact that they immediately came back and said they had me in mind for something else was nice, troubling but nice. It is good to have that option coming up because honestly who knows what is going to happen this month, week, year, whatever.

Meanwhile I have the last of the quotes coming in this week for the foundation to the house and I find I’m double and triple booked for things to do. I’m going to be introduced to my new team at one place this week and then thrown into multiple projects for the other. More work isn’t bad. The more money I can put towards various bills, mainly the house, the better off I will be. Plus it keeps me busy and that is never a bad thing either. More time spent working is less time worrying about what needs to happen with the house or bills or if I end up short, where I need to put money for bills.

What I find surprising is that multiple groups seem to want me in different places to do the things. I may not interview as a number one candidate, but I know that when I get into the position, whatever needs to happen will.

You better call somebody like me, cause you want somebody like me.
