got a bit of a blow today. cabell county has hired someone else for the job I applied for, no big shock there. What was a shock was the way they told me. I finally got through on the phone to someone who a)knew something and b)was willing to share that information with me. instead of just saying nicely that position had been filled she said
"we appreciate your bid, but we had other, more qualified applicants."
no shit?
I would assume if you hired someone other than me that they were both "other" and more qualified" than me. you don't have to be such a snitty little bundtcake about it.
so on the job front, I had an offer for an interview in battleboro NC, close to raliegh. thought about it, and discussed it with the spousal unit. I think we have decided to just not. I will start subbing in cabell county as soon as my license comes through, and we will just go from there. it takes the pressure off getting mom's house sold. we can wait and keep our ears to the ground for better, more permanent positions. it feels good to have finally made a decision. I am disappointed that the jobs we applied for didn't pan out, but what can you do. laugh or cry...laughing is more fun and crying scares the kids.
so, anyway, weight is at 298 and holding. my neighbor caught me and said next time I'm going walking to let her know and she'll go with me. maybe I should just bite the bullet and go with her. I really hate not being able to fart when I walk. it will probably cut my workout in half if I can't fart.
ya'll be good. till next time....
