3/12 in --

Friday (the 9th) was my birthday. I’m 28 now. How am I this close to 30?! We only have two years left to plan the trip! My twin and I want to take a fun trip for our 30th birthday and we were thinking Las Vegas but now we’re thinking northern California.

Anyway, it was mostly just a normal day. We had a party but I was too exhausted to really enjoy it very much. I was glad when everyone left except for my husband’s mom, her husband, and my husband’s brothers, because we did a craft that she brought for the kids. After they went to bed she had extra stuff left over, so I did a craft and it was nice.

As a housewarming/birthday/baby present, we got 40 hours of house cleaning/organizing from my husband’s dad and stepmom and I’m SO GRATEFUL. We desperately need this. When (if, ha heh ha) I get a job, I’m definitely hiring someone to clean the house once a week. I know I won’t be able to keep up and if I’m making more than what I am now (I most likely will be), I will definitely be able to cover it.

I had an interview last week. It was almost cancelled. I e-mailed the person to confirm the in-person interview after she invited me to it after our phone interview and she told me she offered someone the position and that our interview was cancelled. I was really disappointed and irritated that she didn’t inform me and I had to e-mail her, but a half hour later I got another e-mail that said the person didn’t accept the job, so my interview was still on.

I was feeling pretty indifferent about the whole thing after that, but the interview went fantastically. They really liked me and I’d be a good fit. She e-mailed me a few hours after the interview asking for a writing sample, and two references. I sent those to her that night… on Thursday, and I haven’t heard back. It’s Monday evening. I’m bummed out because with the way they offered the job to someone else so quickly, I am now doubting that they are actually going to hire me. I really wanted this job too. It would have been perfect for me, with the flexibility to work from home when I wanted to and I could set my own schedule. It was also the kind of work that I’ve been trying to get into.... so I’m hoping I still have a chance and maybe they’re just busy, but I’m not going to get my hopes up.

I got an e-mail on Friday about scheduling another phone interview for a different position. I haven’t heard back today, but we’ll see if that culminates into another interview.

It’s all just annoying and stressful.
