I went during lunch and got new flatware, flatware tray, towels, rags, oven mitt and pot holder, knives, and a new welcome mat. I'm fairly certain that I'll go by dad's after work and find everything I just bought.

It's hilarious watching a Bill Belichick press conference. They ask about Tebow, they ask about Gronk, and BB just gives them nothing. LMAO

When it rains, it pours.

Three different companies are interviewing me right now for open positions. I will call them Jobs A, B, and C, ordered by how much I want to work for them. Due to the sensitivity of the matter, and some personal circumstances, I don't really have a lot of people I can talk to about this but it's all up inside me right now so I'm just going to unload here.

Job A is a job I've been pursuing for quite some time, B and C have kind of fallen into my lap but each present solid opportunities in their own right. I'd take any of the three if offered, but I do have a distinct ordering of which one I'd take over which.

What they've done, however, is making working at Job D very difficult right now, as they're all calling to schedule interviews, conducting interviews with me, and then rescheduling follow up interviews.

About three weeks ago, Job C interviewed me for about 20 minutes through an intermediary. They said they'd stay in touch.

Last week, Job A interviewed me by phone for about half an hour. They contacted me a day later asking if I'd schedule a 2nd.

The 2nd was yesterday. Job A interviewed me again for a whole hour, at 8:30am, by webcam. Job B interviewed me, over the phone, at 2:00pm.

Job C reached out to me at noon yesterday to schedule an in-person interview for today. Job A also reached back to me yesterday by 2:30 to set up a 3rd interview (awesome). Job B reached back to me a little later to set up a 2nd interview for today as well.

This was all while I was trying to handle my shit at Job D. So I called in to Job D today, told them I was battling with exhaustion and that I'm not working today.

This allowed me to attend two interviews. Job C interviewed me at 8:00am for about 45 minutes in front of a ****ing panel of three people. God. Job B interviewed me just now, at 11:00am, for an hour in-person. My 3rd interview with Job A is being scheduled as we speak.

My guess:

I've got a 99% chance at Job C, an 80% chance at Job B (which could get complicated as it asks for 25-50% travel, which my lady might scoff at), and a 75% chance at Job A.

I was just contacted today by Job C, telling me that there would be a 3rd interview on the horizon, and I am still waiting to hear back on my interview time for Job A. Meanwhile, a friend I have at Job B told me it's down to me and one other person, so I would suspect a 3rd interview with Job B is on the horizon there, as well.

Thank the lord I called in to Job D today. I am exhausted.

It's a good problem to have, but it is exhausting.

You a shower curtain ring salesman, Direckshun?

Show some respect. Those things are hard to move off shelves.

I just don't see how that could help... I'm 2 ish years away from even being able to apply for an MBA program and that's the only non-STEM

I downloaded a ghost tracking app for my iPod touch about a week ago and some ghost, named Alice, keeps talking to me. I asked her if she could fetch me Patrick Swayze and her " blurp" on the radar turned red. I guess she's not a fan or she took offense because I didn't want to talk to her. Whatever the deal, Alice has a damn attitude and I don't like twitchy ghosts.

"Blurp"?

Yeah, it shows a round "blurp" on the radar when a ghost is present. They are usually green unless you piss them off.

Ah yes, I see. Have you been drinking?

Maybe. What does that have to do with my Alice problem?

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

ROFL

I have been doing this for the last few months. But no 3rd interviews. But I have a new job.
