...a cross country trip, another rejection and a birthday since the last time I posted. The quick trip to CA and back went very well and the girlies traveled without any problems. My 4th job interview resulted in another letter of 'sorry we have selected another candidate' and I have pushed off the hilltop and am officially over the hill. (This blog does not endorse a one size fits all hill and acknowledges that everyone's hilltop has its own age.)
In regards to my 4th rejection, this one didn't surprise me too much as I was pretty sure I blew it as soon as we hung up the phones. I hadn't allowed myself enough time to get in the proper frame of interview-mind and also had a head cold going on. Where I thought I might have an advantage with the phone interview as they could not judge my appearance, I negated by giving stupid answers. I have 2 remaining resumes out there and I'm anxious to hear if I qualify for an interview or not. I can't really complain though as I do have a job currently even if conditions aren't ideal and I don't have any insurance, I do still have a paycheck.
My 40th year was suppose to be my year of "Big Adventure" and I'm not sure I made it although I have had a few small adventures. As mentioned I have been job searching and had 4 interviews in the last 7 months, I flew to CA even if it was only for the night, my siblings have been transitioning into different states and jobs which have moved my youngest nieces further away and 2 of my nephews closer, I've experienced some spiritual growth with the confidence that there is more in store and I have cleared a lot of clutter out of my house. While not a Big Adventure it has been a good year and I'm looking forward to another one. Unless I find out I'm dying on Monday.
One of the draw back of working in small town libraries is that not many of them offer health insurance unless they are a city library in which they offer the same benefits as all their city workers receive. That is not the case for me. As such it has been over 12 years since I have gone to see a doctor. Well there have been a couple of conditions that I have been living with that are now becoming to big to ignore so I'm breaking into my saving and hoping the Doc I see will work with me and not bleed me dry. (Physically or financially) So we will see what happens but I hope there will be good news along with all the bad. Blessings to all and if I don't post again, Merry Christmas.
