I didn't get the specialty position at work. I'm not disappointed about that, I'm just disappointed in myself because apparently my scores on the interview just weren't high enough. I feel like maybe I am too awkward and talk too much and think about the variables too much, i.e. they gave me five tasks and I had to choose what order to do them in. And I started over-thinking it, like "Well what if this task included..." etc. Anyway this leaves me open to apply for a CSO position should one pop up. They just fired one of my favorite CSOs which I am really sad about. People disappear overnight at my work; you get an e-mail saying they're not allowed into the building anymore, and then they're gone forever. Kind of like V For Vendetta but without the black bags.
I am getting bored with WoW again. Maybe I should give it a rest until next year, closer to when Cataclysm hits. I tried playing Horde, and I like it a lot since players are nicer and more helpful, and the quests are new to me, but it's hard to give up several high level characters, a slew of friends and guildies, and all that gear, gold, and stuff after 2.5 years of playing Alliance. So I will probably stick with Alliance forever. Playing my Belf pally means seeing tastylogic in Azeroth though - yay!
The other day Marc and I toured his friend Alan's apartment. I love it and want to steal it from him. Very reasonable and a lot of space for two people. We might take over his lease when he leaves (if and when I get a job there). It's quiet, clean, and tucked away in a nice neighborhood close to lots of the things we need.
On Marc's birthday we brought pizza over to Mitch and Tif's for a mini celebration. I spent a lot of time playing action figures with their 3-year-old daughter Ianthe. We made a jail for the bad guys. She put Nightcrawler in there, despite my protests that he's a good guy, plus the Joker ("He's scary") and some anime chick. Ianthe dropped some wisdom on us, saying that "Once they leave jail they won't be bad guys anymore" (Oh Ia, I wish it worked like that in real life) and that "When you go to jail they look you up on the computer and see if you're good or bad" (Actually, sort of). I really had fun playing action figures with her. I wish I was a kid again sometimes! Another Ianthe wisdom is that "You have to be true to your butt." I agree. She's the kind of kid that makes me think I might want one of them someday.
That's all for now since I'm starting to fall asleep and I have work in the morning. Skinny vanilla latte here I come...
P.S. Even though the nice CHP officer in Santa Cruz only cited me for going 70 when I was going 80 in a 65, my ticket is still going to be $220! Jesus Christ! I learned my lesson. Now I see grannies speeding past me on the freeway...
