Even a door? Ehhh! Yeah!!!!
So, I had my interview for the Admin Asst II position I want at Qwest (as a company employee) on Thursday. I think it went VERY well! OMG I was so, so nervous! I wanted to look good, smell good, feel pretty, be confident but also polite and professional. In the end I think I pulled ALL that off. It FELT like it went well, like we got along. I had been told that Director (my would-be boss) is a d*ck, a$$hole who lacks humor...but somebody was wrong. He was very cool! And I'm a good judge of character so I don't think he was faking it for the interview.
So these are the things I get if I land this job:
*A company, "permanent" position!
*Health insurance (!!!!) finally!
*401k, vacation, all that jazz!
*My VERY OWN legit office! Yes, with 4 walls, a window and EVEN a door....to close! haha! I can't tell you how high class that'd make me feel after spending my whole career in the "Cubicle World"!
*A $10,000/year INCREASE in pay...a salary!!!! It'd be my first ever official "salary" position...not hourly!
*And just bragging rights for myself really that it's considered a "management" position! hehe!
OMG I'm so excited! I can't say I won't be bummed, butt hurt, and sorely disappointed if I don't land it! However, I try to remind myself to come down from the clouds, be a realist for a moment because 70 (!!!!) yes 70 people applied for 2 open positions, for the same gig. That's A LOT of people, most from within the company, like myself.
So pray for me, send me good joo-joo, or throw me good vibes! whatever it is you do! This could be a huge turning point in my life/career to land something so solid and stable! It's just what I've needed since getting fired from Express Scripts =/
I should hear within a week or two! =D
P.S. My weight after the holiday weekend was 225. I really didn't eat much but I think way too much sodium/salt. So Monday & Tuesday I did the water/cranberry juice thing and lost a few lbs of water weight right away. I was so glad because I felt all swollen and bloated and gross and could tell I was retaining water for some reason. I didn't get a chance for a work out this week because I had to work 10-11 hr days, AND my eating was NOT on point. BUT I HAVE found inspiration to get back to losing....my arms! Ugh! They're hideous! And here in the AZ we are officially in the tank top/bikini season full blown and I've been wearing pretty little tank tops to work and just feel disgusted when I look in the mirror. I look at them and think "I should lift weights to tone them" and then admit to myself "Who am I kidding? I need to EAT RIGHT to get that FAT off of my arms." I know I should eat right, work out AND do strength BUT I really need to admit to myself that unfortunately the food I eat is 80% of the problem! So I'm working on that! Biggest short term goals for immediate future: Focus on hydrating (water, water, water!) and no drinking with meals (I've gotten loosey goosey with this 1 majorly). So that's where I'm at today!
