08:25 PM - Oh, winter push on...Winter is so long
|

All of Canada is in a deep freeze right now. The other morning here I left the house with -34C outside, for you in the States that's -29.2F BLOODY COLD!!!!! Hopefully by Saturday we'll be on the way to the teens. What's even worse is there is snow with this cold so I can only do half my shoveling at a time due to the -40'sC windchill.
I got a call back from my interview last week and have a second one with the same company tomorrow morn. The last one was rather intimidating as 2 guys did the interview. Very crisp and professional, I should have taken the Xanax before instead of after. This new pill has me very relaxed so hopefully tomorrow the terror on the inside won't show through.
My last interview for my current job was rather hilarious I thought. I showed up on time and told a gal who I was there to see but apparently she never passed it on to the Pres. as I was still sitting there 1/2 hr later when they left for home. He had come out to say goodnight to them and there I was. I never thought to ring the bell as I figured his interview before mine was still going or him being the Pres. something may have come up. So anyways I got into his office and sat down. I noticed he had already written on my resume "didn't show, didn't want job". I told him nicely to scratch that off and put "very patient". I thought he may have been taken aback by my assertive humour. The interview was the usual textbook questions but then he asked what my ideal job would be and for some reason I just felt so comfortable that I said "Supermodel". Well really how many women wouldn't want to be one. For some reason I also thought he was half drunk as he would look out the window and take a bit too long to ask the next question. Everything went fine until I got up to leave. I was wearing new shoes, high thick-soled maryjanes. His furniture was arranged a bit tight around his desk and my shoe got caught on the table leg and I fell onto the leather couch face first with my short skirt landing somewhere up my back. I walked out of there thinking I do not have this job. I send a thank you note for his time and the interview anyways just to be professional and I did get the job. Later I found out he was a bit of a drunkard and womanizer as a once office romance had him fathering a child from it and also a sexual harrassment suit from another employee. He was only there 4 months before the board canned him.
My date last week wasn't too bad. Michael made an o.k. seafood dinner. We had oysters on the half shell with lemon to start with and a pasta with shrimp, clams, mussels and scallops. Yes he went all out! We went to the play but it was a real yawner that we snuck out during intermission. We went to a dessert restaurant after for cheesecake. I was trying to feel around as to where this may be going and he's willing to take things slow. I (lied) and told him my last relationship went to fast at the beginning before we had gotten to know each other and I would like this one to be different. He was very understanding and said he'd like the same. But, shortly after he asked if I wanted to stay over this Sat. and he'd make brunch on Sunday. I was like wwhhhaaaaaattttt!!! inside but outside I said I'd have to think about it. We had a few kisses in the car and I almost said yes to the overnighter. I just know that our "first time" I'll be an emotional wreck and I don't want to have to be pilled up so I can relax. I'm suppose to have an answer for him tomorrow so I'm thinking about yes but with a back up plan that if it gets to serious I'll pull the monthly card. God the men in here will think I'm such a hipocrite for going but not going all the way. So how does one keep a man but at arm's length until your ready? I think him being older helps a bit as he's not the oversexed teenager anymore.
I've just got to get through the interview tomorrow before I can worry about Sat.
After watching the Golden Globes on Sun. and seeing THE OFFICE win a few awards and reading in here that a few of you watch this show I was happy to see we got a 3 episode preview here in Canada this week. The humour is a bit dry I guess. Mother didn't seem to get it but by the 3rd episode I was laughing. I unfortunately don't get BBC Canada so am unable to see anymore of it. I don't get why they would make Gareth's eyes so dark or if they didn't why they wouldn't put make-up on to cover his dark circles. The first episode made sense cause he was out drinking all night but...oh maybe he does this everynight?
