So I'm slacking today. Have to do the Minutes from the EC meeting and I don't want too. I'm focused on just getting out of here. Frog boy is being "tolerable" for now. With Silvia gone it just sucks! She made It fun around here and the whole situation of her leaving just leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. Seems like the WHOLE office is on the job hunt about now. Update on my hunt:
1) Tommy Bahama- Waiting to hear. I don’t know if he liked me, I don’t think I had the sales experience he wants
2) Diesel - Waiting for the head to return from Italy at the end of the week
3) Scoop - Waiting to hear from them for a 2nd interview. Friday went very well and he seemed very interested and asked what my availability was this week, so that is always a good sign.
4) Media Company - Again, WAITING for her to get back to me with a date for a 2nd interview
5) Design Company - Met with them 7 months ago when I was looking for this one. I get a call yesterday and the agency I used got a call from them, wanting to know if I’m still looking, they want to see me. So I meet with them again tomorrow at 12:30
6) PR company - Got a call back from them this morning after a phone interview last week. I meet with the VP of Talent Thursday at 1:00
So far I like Scoop the best, then Diesel. Scoop is in SOHO which I totally love! It’s so great down there. It’s a longer train ride, but that just gives me more time to read. Of course who wouldn’t want to work for Diesel!!? Jeans everyday! YEAH! DJ IN the office, very cool, but who knows. I’m not getting excited about anything anymore.
The good news is the entire EC (the 7 heads of the office, “Executive Committee”) will be out of the office for a off site meeting Thursday and Friday!! It’s like a 4 day weekend!!
Last Saturday we ended up not going to CT for the day. Too much $ and too long of a drive. I decided to go to a new shelter in Bellrose to help out. They needed help with cats, so I worked with them. It was very hard! It’s a poor rescue with little resources. There is just one big room with about 20 cages and about 20 more cats just loose in the room. A LOT of work to be done. Cleaning, feeding, etc. So many of them just wanted to be pet, others seemed to be scared of their own shadow. There were 2 I fell in love with that I wanted to take home. I thought maybe this would help me with Guenie’s death but I think it made it worse. Guen was the loving one in the house, I miss just laying on the floor with my baby girl and falling asleep next to her or a cat sleep on my lap. I’m really having a harder time with this then I seem to be admitting to anyone. I’ve been focusing on the job hunt to try and get my mind off it. I still tear up at night before I go to sleep because she’s not next to me. I know Travis is there and I love him dearly, but it’s just not the same as my baby girl. It takes time I guess. There is a Beltane ritual in Central Park this weekend I would like to go too. Hopefully that will help. Tattoo show next weekend (13th to 15th). I’d like to go Friday or Saturday night, I think I need another Lizard! The 15th is the NAAR (Autism) walk I’m doing for Tracy and Dylan. I already raised $190 thanks to my kick ass friends and family.
OK, back to work.
