i totally meant to post about this yesterday when i got home from work, but i got to doing other things and i forgot.
yesterday i kinda bitched about not getting any call backs from any of the resumes i submitted and i had submitted 3 more yesterday--all to the same company ... 2 for specific positions and then 1 general submission for anything i might be qualified for--and at about 4 p.m. i get a call on my cell phone. i don't recognize the number but i answer it because hey, it may be a call about my resume. i wasn't disappointed when i picked it up and heard a sweet voice say, "may i speak to geoff [last name]?" i knew then it was a callback. yay!
so, i have a job interview on friday at 2:30 p.m. for a claims specialist with this company! wish me luck! i will definitely keep you updated as to my progress.
also, today a funny thing happened. i got called into the big boss' office and she was asking if i was putting my resume out. i nodded and told her i had a job interview on friday and she congratulated me as well as wishing me luck. however, her next words made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
big boss: i really hate that we're letting you go. i really think this is only a lull and i'd really like to have you back here on a permanent basis and if it were up to me, you wouldn't be leaving at all.
i dunno if she was only blowing smoke up my ass, but someone told me that she never says stuff like that to anyone ... that she wouldn't even piss on you to save your life if you were on fire, so for her to make a comment like that means that she is definitely impressed with me. however, my take on that is ... if you are so impressed with someone and they do a great job at work, then you work around budget issues and you keep that person and get rid of one of the many fuck-ups who don't do anything worthwhile in the company. but that's just my opinion. obviously, i'm not a CFO.
words are nice ... actions are better.

Congrats on the Interview Geoff
GEOFF! I'm positively giddy to know your name! :)
Good luck on your interview, although I have a feeling you won't need it. I'm sure you'll blow them away!
Agreed about the "words are nice, actions are better".
You should have pooped in her office!
thank you all!
i am definitely going to check that out, andrea! thank you!
thanks brick! did you get that copy of my resume, btw? :)
oh, nanners ... i thot you knew my name already ... geoff ... geoff ... say it slow ... add the 'rey' if you feel like rolling the r. geoffrrrrrrrey. lol
mrs.twink you certainly have a fascination with pooping on things, but you know what? i think you're right. i should have just climbed on her desk and was like, "here, lemme give you a copy of my resume for later." ::poo::
Good Luck on your interview Geoffrey Baby! Please! You’re so going to get it. I know you’ll wow the judges…(Wait a minute. I’ve been watching way too much American Idol) Anywho…Definitely keep us posted. You know I’m on this piece living your life through your words Everyday All Day. Apparently the paparazzi (aka office haters) have noticed my obsession with you as well. (The coalition will discuss tomorrow over Lebanese) ;-)
