quick update

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.
