Hmm. Still sick. And Johnathan made me take Buckley's cough syrup, y'know, the stuff that prides itself on tasting horrible, but working like magic to calm a cough and relieve nasal congestion. If you look at the 2004-2005 commercials on their site, the first two, "Bunch of Sugar" and "What Gives", were filmed on the corner I walk by every day on the way to work - that coulda been me! But I didn't have enough time, I would have been late. Boo. Anyway. This was actually my first time taking the stuff. It turns out...they don't lie. It was awful. Like eating Vick's Vaporub and then licking our Christmas tree. Gah. And then it burned in my stomach for several minutes. And now? Still coughing a little, and I have a sore throat. Bah.
Oh. I didn't get that job I applied for. Apparently I was an excellent candidate, they were very impressed, I was very professional, yada yada, but another person was more well-suited for the job (more financial background) and will be meeting with the COO. If it turns out the COO doesn't like her, they may get back to me, but whatever, I don't think I'm really interested anymore anyway. Honestly, I like the company I work for...I just wish my commute wasn't so long, and that I was doing something more permanent. But if it's between two downtown TO jobs, I think I'd prefer to stay where I am. There's a one-year maternity leave coming up in a department I really enjoy working for, so I'm going to put my name in for that and see how that goes.
