Keep trying to write an entry at work and then it never works out.
I am taking a personal day from work tomorrow so that I can go to my huge interview session at the potential new company. My schedule is as follows:
11:00am-11:15am Meet with Exec. VP of Marketing and New Product Innovation, my potential new boss. We’ve already had a couple of hours together in my last interview session last week.
11:15- Noon Meet with CEO of company. It’s his first day back in the office after a couple of weeks in Asia. He will be toast, but at least I get to meet with him. He has been with this company for about a year. Formerly CEO of a very well known company in the sporting goods industry.
Noon-12:30pm Meet with CFO of company. I know nothing about this man, nor does the recruiter. Hmmmmm. I am also not the best with numbers, however I can talk number smack pretty well.
12:30-1:00pm Meet with VP of Sales. Again, I know nothing about THIS man, nor does the recruiter. Lot of help the recruiter is, eh? VPs of sales love to schmooze. I should be able to schmooze this fool, right?
1:00-1:30pm Meet with Product Manger who would potentially be one of my employees. No idea if this person is a man or a woman (named Chris). No idea whatsoever what this will be like.
1:30-3:00pm Meet AGAIN with Exec. VP of Marketing and New Product Innovation. Okay, come on. What on EARTH are we going to talk about for another hour and 1/2 that doesn’t involve him offering me the greatest position on earth? What, I ask you?! The recruiter didn’t know either. I suggested that maybe the guy is going to take me to Happy Hour?!
So there you have it. That is my day tomorrow. I’m nervous, but then again I’m not. It’s great to be in this kind of position of power because I can easily walk away from this deal.
….well, not really easily anymore as I’m kind of excited about the whole thing. We shall see. I hope that something awesome happens.
I had a kind of fun touch base with my boss’s boss today. Well, it’s supposed to be a “fun” and “casual” thing, but of course you have to watch what you say, you know?
Well, I really didn’t heed those rules and I ended up telling her all about how disappointed I was with the way I was treated when I went for that internal position and not only didn’t get the job but was unceremoniously booted off the committee.
Oh my gosh, you would have thought that she’d watched someone shoot my cat. She apologized no less than 5 times. And then I felt kind of guilty because SHE didn’t diss me (even though I’d interviewed with her), it was just that she felt soooooo terrible about it. I truly thought that she was going to cry or something. I was surprised by her reaction, but it was also a great set-up for either angling for a better gig at my CURRENT job or an easy way for me to say, “See ya, suckas!!”
It’s all falling into place.
*hand-wring*
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
In other news, I have NOT read that fucking Turbocharged book yet. I don’t know what my mental block is, but I am just not quite there yet. SexyPants and I are starting this diet together on Monday, so I have to read it by then, but until I do….. I am drinking bubbly and eating all the shit I can get my hands on.
Not really ALL true, but kinda.
I am also gushing like a river. Sorry for the graphic, but it’s so bad that I had a small accident on my dress today and a very sweet lady at Target pointed it out to me very quietly. I was thankful, but DAMN. How embarrassing.
I’m not sure, but I think my body is just pissed at me for never having a baby.
Sigh.
OK. Time to get going. Wish me BIG luck tomorrow. I can use all I can get!!! Plus, I hope I don’t bleed all over their furniture. Uhhhgggg!!!
XXOXXXOOOXXOOXXOO!!
