disappointed

(and apparently spammy)

I'm disappointed that I won't be doing the walk for charity tomorrow (to benefit the homeless). I forgot to get donations but I could have gotten a few locally. The real problem is my patellar tendonitis is back. I fell three times in lab today (luckily against the table and not to the godawful floor) There's no way i could do the walk so i did give the last minute money I raised (i.e. mostly mine) to the persons I was going to walk with.


I'm oddly disappointed in myself. First off, there's this Catholic College in WI. DId I mention that I filled out the application half in my address and half in my mom's. Probably a subconscious cry to not go there. Guess which is the ONLY phone interview I've gotten out of the half dozen applications I sent out..yeah. I REALLY need to find out my actual salary (not what I get after grants and overload hours) to make sure I'm not looking at a job with less pay. I'm not really excited about this. I'll do the phone interview but if it doesn't feel right to me that'll end it even if i get the full interview.

You can't go for something if it doesn't feel right. Gotta use the gut instinct. You'll find something, you are very qualified.

I'm sorry about the job situation. That sucks.

thanks. It could be worse. I HAVE a job after all which is only semi secure but still.

And i hope things work out for you

Yeah, I hope things work out for both of us.

I don't know if this would make you feel any more comfortable about it but Catholics don't usually burn witches any more. ^_~. Most of the nuns I know (and I do actually know some. My daughter's great aunt just celebrated 50 years as a nun last summer... lost her leg this year and is learning to use her new one.) are actually pretty cool, have a great sense of humor and don't walk around all pious and creepy all the time.

Who knows, it might be the perfect job for you. The address mistake might just be your subconscious throwing yet another roadblock in front of you that you need to get past to move forward.

Having been catholic my whole life, I'm pretty sure I don't want to go to a catholic school.

applying there was actually a mix up. but i didn't catch it until allmy coworkers had written the letters so I sent it on confident they'd not talk to me since NO catholic college ever has

Well, you never know. *shrug* Maybe it wouldn't be how you expect it to be. That's all I'm saying.
