That's pretty cool that you get to speak at a conference.

my email just has a 42 after my username here. and if a hot male were to contact me, Id be really excited. hehe. Hows that?
I get the impression that they are looking for someone to work as a merchandiser before they hire you as a sales rep. So I think that I probably should take it... I just dont know, and its not like the offers for a full time benefitted position are flying my way! I would really like to get my eyes checked again, and paid vacations! But I guess that we will see.
Just getting ready to go into work, it will be the first time that I will see my boss since I interviewed for this other position, Im sure that hell be cool about it.
Odog, I am so excited about the conference! Itll be nice to go to east in april, nice and warm, but not too hot! Two of my friends, and a few other people from around the state are going too, so it's going to be so fun. And itll be one of those things that will make my college/scholarship applications shine!
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...

He was surprisingly pleasant about it. Hes surprisingly pleasant about a lot of things lately. He said that he hasnt heard from the company yet, but if he does he will say good things.
He used to drive me insane, all he had to do was speak and I would bristle, but its not nearly as bad now. I guess I just really needed a break.

It was 8 degrees at my house this morning. Not 28, not 58, not even 18, nope, 8. grrr. Certainly not the coldest that it will get this winter, but definately cold enough for me! I feel a little bit like doing something tonight, but I have to work early in the morning, and honestly the cold is probably keeping me a little mellow tonight.
Excuses, excuses! lol.
I hope that everyone is having a good weekend!

0 at my house this morning. I didn't get outside much. Hope everything went good for you.

Thank goodness for long underwear! And fleece sheets- which are my new found love! Thats all I can say, 0 wow, its not wasting any time is it? I didnt spend a lot of time outside today either, but it was a beautiful day.
I stayed up way too late last night, with the idea that work would be relatively easy today. But I did get a lot of my homework done, I even worked ahead in two classes. Wow, what a way to spend saturday night huh? But this morning one of my people didnt show up. Come to find out, they had gotten a bottle at 11 pm, when they had to be there to open the store at 8am. This person has had a long history of this kind of thing and its really frustrating to everyone else that they continue to get away with it. So I ended up working 9 hours after I got 4 hours of sleep! Im going to sleep like a rock tonight!
Also, I just found out that I was quoted in Alaska Magazine! I havent been able to find it and read it for myself yet, but thats pretty cool!

Minus 8 at my house last night. Slept under a pile of blankets with my skinny dog curled up at my feet.
Stay cool warm.

Well, they have filled the position that I was hoping for. There are 3 other positions that I would be willing to take, one of the guys that I interviewed with (the one who told me that they would have something to offer me) did give me someone elses number too. I just called that guy and got one of those sort of "Dont call us, we'll call you" kind of responses.
So, thats kind of disappointing. Oh well. Its amazing to me that NONE of the applications, resumes, interviews etc. have resulted in a job. The job that I was lucky enough to get totally fell into my lap! But I just cant beleive that nothing else has been fruitful!

That's sad to hear. You are however getting callbacks and interviews so you must be doing something right. It's just really bad out there.
You do have income right now so be thankful for that. Your bigger picture stuff (studying wildlife) is going well too - you got media attention and a paid-invite to speak so be thankful for that too. You're a smarty so just keep at it.
