Should I be concerned about posting this in a public space?
Our luggage has returned. It got here late Tuesday. I swear, I almost kissed it. And then I ignored it. I haven't even opened it to make sure that everything is in tact. Screw deoderant; I managed a day without it, and I can keep going, dammit. And the same can go for my winter coat!
Besides, yesterday was a very full day. And by full, I mean two separate things happened that each took under forty-five minutes that wore me out.
The first is that I found out that I did not get the job I interviewed for while I was home in Minnesota. I had my first interview on the 26th, and it went pretty well. Then I had my second interview on the 29th, and I BOMBED it. I walked out knowing that the chances of this happening were slim to none. But that doesn't mean that I wasn't still hoping, a little... But no, yesterday I got the "no thanks" email. However, I was really pleased that the woman in charge of the search, who I felt I clicked with, offered to help me network when I look for a job in the field this coming spring. That was very nice.
And then, four hours later, I had a phone interview for another job. I'll already know about that one by next week, and my head is swimming about it. However, more info will have to wait until I get it or don't. But the interview took a lot out of me, emotionally. Thinking about what moving home without Lauren for a few months would be like tuckered me out.
And that has been my exciting life since returning to Ohio.
