The Thing That Goes Doink

So I had a nice chat with the teacher (almost an hour long!), figuring out how I would work in the classroom and what my responsibilities would be, and we both agreed that it was something that looked good on my resume and school applications if and when I get back to doing graduate school. So I'm waiting now to hear if I would be an acceptable addition to the school.

In the meantime, I'm working on my steampunk character's back stories - making them imperfect in their own special ways and not MacGuyver - and, oh yes! I updated devART!

So that about sums it up around here.  Photos from my trip to Florida but not in the, "Oh gee look!  We're in the Everglades and look at the alligator!"  Because as some of you remember, the trip into the Everglades did not go well for me.

So, my interview at the Montessori school went SO well today, that I've already been called back for a second interview with a teacher tomorrow.  After that I'll have to take into consideration which job I want to work with, as both have some major pros and not a lot of cons.

I had my first interview at the Clarion Hotel today, which I found out was the "pre-interview."  It came down to the hiring manager reads through applications and resumes, calls in people she thinks would be good, gets a feeling for them in the pre-interview, calls references, and if everything works out, calls the prospective employee in for a second interview with the big boss. 

I think I made a good impression, highlighting my years of customer service, my ability to be self-motivated (thank GOD for distance learning courses where you have to be self-motivated to pass!) and computer skills (thank you, Internets, for giving me a useful skill!). 

Anyway, I'll hear back from her sometime next week (she said that if I hadn't heard back from her in exactly one week, I could give her a call).  I'm actually kind of stoked to be working again, though I might need to get a couple of new pairs of slacks. 

Oooooooooh, exciting!!

So I have been interviewed by bandnerd88 . And it is a meme. Let the chaos begin!

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!", or similarly interview-inducing statements.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...

( Read the interview - if you're brave enough! )

If anyone wants to play along, be my guest  ^^  I'll try to come up with some interesting questions.
