So here’s a random, vent, whatever.
I have an interview on Monday. When offered the interview the HR email said to expect instructions within the week.
I emailed HR on Thursday when no packet had been received and figured out that they had been planning on me remote interviewing, when I planned to be there in person ...which is why sending out info early would have been nice. HR lady said she would send out an in-person packet shortly.
Today is Saturday and still no information as to where I go, if I have a presentation etc.
The business is open tomorrow, so I’m going to call and double check with whoever is actually there at least where I go.
I’m not super enthused on this job in the first place, but this makes a big red flag.

I have been cleansed of all the random germs from Chuck E Cheese. It wasn't as bad as last time. Last time was for a school fundraiser. That was fucking awful. Have you been to Amazing Pizza Machine in Omaha? That’s where we usually do birthdays. The kids like it because there are rides and we like it because they do unlimited packages for certain amounts of time. But then you’d have to drive to Omaha lol

We were actually talking about that- an Amazing Pizza Machine or Dave & Buster's would probably make a killing here because there is zero competition.

I don't like large surfaces in dark colors. Dust & fingerprints drive me batty. I got rid of our dark tv stand and bookshelves when we moved.

loony I’m annoyed on your behalf and agree it’s a red flag.

I have a gray addiction. I almost exclusively wear gray and my house is gray neutral. I have a problem.

loony I’m annoyed on your behalf and agree it’s a red flag. The kicker is that it’s a county HR, not even an institutional HR...so hopefully there’s someone at the institution that has any clue of what is going on. We’ve already decided that the numbers barely work to relocate, and unless the interview team is totally different and the job seems perfect, I’m probably going to decline if offered. I think the interview process is a good thing to practice and while I feel a little bad going in knowing I don’t really want to make it work, but after not getting any info, I don’t feel that bad about potentially wasting their time. Also, SO works across the street and I’ll get to drink with his sister after I’m done at an exclusive party. So it’s really their loss, not mine.

You never know what will happen. But, yeah, you might need those drinks afterwards.

DH and I decided we’re probably going to put an offer in on a house we saw today even though its not our target area and there’s about a 10% chance of us getting it since we’d have contingencies.

Because it’s County, I know it’s going to be a drawn out process...I applied in September (the fires definitely delayed the process more). I know my current boss is restructuring a full time position and keeps asking me questions about working more hours and telling me about the job description. I love where I’m at (job and life and family) and it would be awesome to work there full time. We’re just in limbo. If this happens, then X if that happens then Y and if neither happens, let’s move to Timbuktu.

My kid was asking to go home and go to bed early in the third quarter. He had such a good time and was so good tonight. I really want to garage but cannot find a lighter. At least I have yoga pants and ER. We just started the ER pilot

Why if it’s not in your target area though? Our target area is looking less and less attainable. This would be a little further south than we were thinking, but it’s a nice house, trail access, decent schools. It also has some cool amenities like a (pay for membership but VERY decent price) swim cabana, etc. It’s our “backup” neighborhood.

San Jose is supposed to be the worst market America now. I’m also sure that I’m neurotic and making things more difficult than I need to.
And JFC I’ve never had redirects before but OMG to whatever the hell is happening in TT to me.

They definitely sounds weird, loony. I hope you get answers tomorrow.
I just need to brag on my SO for a minute. We are at his friends lakehouse for their annual Super Bowl weekend. Lots of people here drinking, having fun, etc. My PTSD majorly triggered a few days ago so I’ve been having nightmares every night, which puts me in just sort of an off mood during the day. I was feeling really overwhelmed tonight so I just turned in early and went into the guest room to lay down. SO came in and snuggled with me and let me cry it out a bit, even insisting that we can leave a day early if I need it. He’s just the best, I feel so lucky to have someone so caring.

I have never been with someone who treats me as well as he does. Add in that he’s so patient with my mental health stuff related to my late Hs death, etc, he’s basically a saint. I love him.

Omg. H got out the Girl Scout cookies and then left the room and I caught myself just absent mindedly eating them. 😬
WTF.

I feel pretty fortunate. And, I would’ve eaten cookies left out too. 🤷🏻♀️

loony I have some experience with that county’s HR for reasons. I’m confident the issue is the hr lady. Hopefully you get a better vibe in person. But also I heard my County Is going to hire a new librarian soon

If it makes you feel better, our current house was very much not my first choice, but it has been the best. I mean, I will always grumble because it is fucking old and had the worst previous owners, but so much about it has been great and beyond my wildest thoughts when I initially saw it and took the leap of faith on it.
