Interview, A Visit With Fran & Pregnancy Memories
Thu Jun 07 2007

The interview today went really well. I wait to see now if the people who this contract company works for want to interview me, and go from there. The position is a 6 month contract-to-hire position, and there are several things about the company that make it potentially a good fit.

I’m still talking with the folks from last week’s interview, and when I got home I got a call from another place I submitted my resume to. This third one is attractive as it is closer than the one from today, and in an environment I would really like to work in.

I had another call today from a contractor looking for someone to accept a contract in a town about 120 miles away from me. Needless to say I didn’t accept an interview for that one. I would prefer to look for something MUCH closer.

I’m getting more and more excited about this job hunt. I forgot how much fun it was to interview and learn about what all is out there.

After my interview today, I went over to visit Franbo in the hospital. She looks great, and the babies are doing well. I do remember what it was like to be that pregnant, and she has my complete and total sympathy for how she is feeling. I do miss feeling the life move inside when I was pregnant with the twins. When they would get active I would turn off the TV and watch my tummy in fascination. After a while I got to where I could identify the difference between a head and a butt, and the difference between an elbow and a knee. That part about pregnancy I miss. The going to the bathroom every 5 minutes and aching back… not-so-much!

When I was preggers with the twins, I used to crave Chocolate-chocolate chip cookies with lemonade. Hubby thought I was nuts, but brought that combination home to me every night after his work. I had morning sickness all day long for my entire pregnancy, but I was able to eat and keep things down late at night. If I craved a steak, Hubby took me out to Denney’s at 1 in the morning for a steak dinner (they were the only ones open when I could eat, so we frequented them for the duration of the pregnancy!). He was so good during the pregnancy; he should have been given an award! As a way of saying thanks, I made sure to not call him names or say anything bad to him once I went into labor. That, of course, didn’t stop me from breaking his fingers when he held my hand once I went into hard labor, but I apologized to him profusely afterwards!

Good memories!

    I hope you get the job you want with the company you want with the pay you want!
    Glad to hear Franbo is going well, is she in for bedrest/observation? I had to laugh at your memories. I didn't have anything like that, I was in bed asleep by 9pm every night because I was so tired! I survived on Lucozade and Darrell Lea jelly babies for the first 5 months because I threw up almost everyday. Ugh! The last part of the pregnancy was better, when I could see and feel them moving. The last few weeks were pretty tough, as we all know!

    My poor, sensitive grandson is suffereing from pregnancy too. The bathroom, the nausea, the cravings, the weight gain. Just wait till she goes into labor! Poor boy. I'm planning to be there to hold *HIS* hand, and wipe his sweating brow.

    Yah, I think 120 miles is a little far to travel daily. A tad.
