Mentally Exhausted

No Daycare today.  But that is not even it.  Emily was seriously the best little girl for me today.  Work killed me.  Working from home is not at all as glamorous as it sounds.

It is battling a new laptop that doesn't want to connect.  It is battling a laptop that disconnects at exactly the wrong moment.

It is vendors changing their minds five hundred and fifty-two times.

It is people "testing" things and then asking you to do something very last minute at 4:45 pm.

It is trying to juggle another thirty- two tasks on top of it. 

And did I think I had an advantage going for me this morning by proofing all my ads last night - ho yeah.  Stay till 7pm was surely going to make today easier.  Should have known better.  Silly Meg.

But the one thing I totally accomplished was finishing and submitting my resume... with a friendly reminder from both my mom, and one of my wonderful coworkers Brooke.  Brooke even reviewed and proofed the resume so I didn't totally shoot myself in the foot with this application.  What would I do without her.

So yes, I am sticking my neck out there and applying for another position.  Within the same company so don't everyone panic now.  I am just trying to climb the corporate ladder and get somewhere.

Who knows if I will get an interview, who know how I will do on an interview - it has been 3 years since my last... and here is a funny..... image funky flashback music...

I had an interview with Target for a Store Lead position of some sort... It was my very first interview- held on the college campus.  I am not sure if I really prepared for it, but I think it would be safe to say that I was very naive about the process - assuming that everyone appreciates it when people are themselves and honest.  Not so much.

And I guess when they ask "What your perfect day would be"  they are more or less looking for a response something like this "Working hard, getting results, and saving little kittens out of large trees on my way home from volunteering"... not so much of "Sitting on the couch, in comfy clothes watching trash TV while it rains."

If you are one of the smarties who catches on quickly, the last response was mine.  When I came home from the interview, and Lindsey and Laura (my roommates at the time) asked how it went and I told them this question - we all just kind of knew I wouldn't even get a call back to say "thanks but no thanks".  I think Laura - who is pretty much a pro at interviewing - even tried to be nice and said "At least you where honest".... and trailed off into silence.  It is one of their favorite stories, and I usually tell it to anyone who feels less than confident going into or leaving an interview.

But back to the topic...  the application process was killer... trying to talk up how wonderful I am is slightly harder - I couldn't attach any of my before and after pictures to the application.  So I am hoping luck is on my side for this one.

Other than that - got the nursery curtains up... washed the car seat fluffy stuff - what is called a cover?  washed all of Emily's old white Gerber onsies and mopped the nursery floor and cleaned out the closet.

So feeling slightly better there - slightly.  At least I know I can bring the kid home now :)

Now my tired bum is on the couch - and I don't think it is getting up anytime soon.  Might just sleep here.
