Wednesday Wickedness And An Its About Time Hello!


1. "I don't really see the point in washing your hair. If you don't care if your hair's clean or not then why would you wash it?" How often do you wash your hair?
Daily

2. "I take way too long to get dressed, like way too long. But only for things like shows or if I have to do public appearances. Like, I’m ridiculous, I’ll keep getting changed and getting changed and then I’ll just put on the same thing I wore the day before." Do you take longer to dress for a special event?
On Friday, I went to a reallly great job interview. The practice manager was only going to be in the office from 12pm to 2:15pm. She called me at 12:30pm and said, "I know this is last minute but I would really love to interview you before the office is closed on vacation next week, can you come before I leave at 2:15pm?" --- I walked into her office at 1pm. It took me a 1/2 hour to get dressed into my "interview outfit" do my hair & makeup and drive to the place. So with enough passion behind it, no, it doesn't take me long to dress for a special event.

3. "My dad's a car dealer, but I grew up in London, so I always say I don't drive…I get driven. I got a driving lesson in Oregon, and then I bought a car in L.A. and I basically learned how to drive by people honking at me. I'm terrible at driving." Are you a good driver?
I believe I am. I drive all the time. I even drive Larry's car when we drive together. He hates driving.

4. "I don't spend any money. The only thing I've really bought is my car, which cost $1,500 and keeps exploding. It would be nice to buy a house for my parents, but at the same time my parents are so comfortable where they live; they would probably just feel like it was a burden. I wear the same clothes every day and the only thing I used to splurge on was DVDs." If you had his money, what would be the first thing you spent it on?
I'd probably buy this quote guy some clothes and a case of shampoo.

5. "I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don't know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it's kind of stuck with me." Who is your favorite actor?
For his acting ability ~ Jack Lemmon. For everything else ~ Josh Holloway. (Holy Moly!)

6. "Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them - they're like my trademark shoes now!" Have you ever changed your appearance because of a random happenstance?
Happenstance: (noun) a chance circumstance. Sorry, had to look that up. Gee, this guy seems like a real catch doesn't he? -- Well let's see the back anklestrap of my Croc broke off so I broke off the other one so they matched. Does that count?

7. "I never really considered myself attractive. I was always kind of gangly in school." Do you consider yourself attractive?
I don't even know how to answer this question. Oh yes, I'm just the bee's knees. LOL

8. "I definitely want to record an album, direct a film and start my own religion. I definitely wouldn’t have to pay taxes anymore.” If you started your own religion, what would it be like?
It would be some sort of cafeteria catholic religion. You get to pick and choose what you like.

9. "I do bear some similarities in the sense that I’m not good at romance. I also think I lack basic finesse when it comes to women. I give up too easily even if I’m very attracted to someone." Have you ever given up too easily in the game of love?
Nah, sometimes I think I gave too much instead of gave up too easily.

10. " I don’t want to disappoint girls who might think I’m very cool and smooth, which I’m not, I’m afraid. I’m still quite shy, although that seems to be something of an attraction for women." Are you, or have you ever been attracted to shy people?
I did more than be attracted to a shy person ---> I married him!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello Everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't been on the blogs. I really meant to get back sooner. I was having a "down in the dumps" spell. It has been VERY hard to find work as a medical assistant near where I live. Everyone wants 2+ years experience. No one wants to give you a chance. It is terrible. The ophthalmologist's office called back and said that there is still a hiring freeze but as "soon as it is lifted, we will call you and if you are still available the job would be yours, you wouldn't have to interview again'. Sorta positive. But, when will the freeze get defrosted is my question.

The gynecologist office finally got back to me today and said it was "a difficult decision but Dr So and So would like to keep your resume on file". Sure. If you don't want me now, why would you want me later?

But on a more positive note...I went on an awesome job interview on Friday. I am hoping to God that I will get this position. It is for an oral surgeon's office being both a medical & surgical assistant. This was the interview that I got ready for and got there in the speed of light. Plus, I didn't wipe out at this one. LOL! The practice manager was so impressed with how fast I got there. She already did interviewing. I was her one and only interview on Friday. She was only going in the office for 2hrs or so to tidy up before the office went on vacation this week. The good news is she told me that I am one of their top considerations. PLEASE LORD!!!! Guys, I'm serious...I even broke out my rosary. I don't want to jinx it, but seriously I would love to work there. Please pray for me! Hopefully since I was her last interview I will be fresh in her mind and since she was so impressed with how fast I got there, maybe that will show how serious I am! I sent her a handwritten thank you card as well. *praying!*

I need this job now more than ever. I am one of the statistics right now. I am entitled to an unemployment extension since my original claim benefits exhausted two weeks ago. I would be entilted to my Tier 1 (EUC) extension. There are 6 extensions in New Jersey. Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, Extended Benefits and High Extended benefits. I'm on my first one. Well that is if the Senate would stop playing bipartisan tag and vote YES for the extension. They fought over it since the beginning of the month and tried to get something passed before they went on a long July 4th break. With the Democratic Senator passing away, they were one vote short of passing it. Now they have to vote a new guy in to replace the deceased Senator. Then there may be a chance of passing it, but now well after July 14th. So, right now I'm without benefits coming in. I just finished school in June. It is hard to find a job that quick ~ especially when everyone wants experience and they slam the foot you are trying to get in the door!

Ok, I'll get off my soap box now. See, this is why I've been quiet. I'm starting to lose my cherub-like demeanor. I don't want you all to think ill of me. It is just very frustrating.

I am so excited to see a blog post from you!!! I have missed you!!!

I will be praying hard for you to get this job!!! I had a feeling the job hunt was the thing keeping you from blogging. I know how frustrating it can be. Any doctor would be lucky to have you in their office.

Big hugs, my friend!!! xoxo

Dear Lord, I can soooo identify with what you're going through. I've been worried about you--haven't even seen you on FB much! Hang in there; I'll be thinking of you. :)

Lisa G said...

I'm sending good vibes your way to get that job. Hang in there!

Mary said...

Fingers crossed that you get the job! I think you may be right: you were the last one she interviewed, and since you got there so fast, you must want it! I'm sure the thank you note won't hurt, either!

I've even crossed my virtual dog Happy's fingers! Get it girl!
