So at lunch time I got a text from my friend and former co-worker asking me for my resume. I sent it to her and then she called me and told me to call her boss. I spoke with him about a job opening and then he asked me to come in for a face to face interview tomorrow. So that's happening. I'm not entirely sure what the new job is. It's part of a supply chain and it's on the Microsoft campus, but it's not for Microsoft. But the pay range is ~20K more than I make now. So, yeah. Good luck!! That is awesome

TMI alert The highlight of my day was when M had to use the bathroom while we were in the exam room waiting for the doctor. The potty was only a few rooms away and I let the nurse know we were going in there, just in case the dr came looking for us. She had to poop. THey have one of those water conservation toilets where you lift up for liquid and push down for solids. It would not flush. I tried at least 10 times. M was freaking out. She wouldn't let me go ask the nurse for a plunger. She was too embarrassed to let anyone see her poop, etc. So guess what I had to do... I had to scoop her poop out of the toilet and put it in the trash. M: What are you doing? Me: Well you won't let me go ask for help so this is how we're going to handle it. M: That's gross, Mommy. Me: I'm aware, dear. M: Are you going to wash your hands? Me: ...... .

tgrimes I am ignoring that story. And never shaking your hand. Don’t worry, I’ve washed my hands and used more hand sanitizer today than I have in a lifetime. Well, at least since that time I was potty training M and she pooped in my hand. That was not delightful.

All my tests were negative except apparently I have a (symptomless) UTI.
I haven't had any more crazy bruising and my headaches are still daily but not constant. Waiting to hear if that change in frequency means I should hold off on the MRI. Seeing as how I got my test results and picked up my meds a full day before they called to talk to me about said results, I expect it will take forever to find out.

Wow, what I came back to! Tomorrow I’m vegging on the couch. Hoping a full day off with nowhere to be will allow me to get better.
My coworker and friend has a farm. Our plan is to go there Monday afternoon because she has chicks hatching. She also has mini goats, horses, and full size chickens. I can’t wait to see what L does with the horses and goats.
Also, all three dogs decided they were going to help L go to sleep! 🙄🤦🏽♀️ Skye, the youngest dog usually comes up, but the olds don’t! To make it worse, they stole her spot so she’s acting restless.

goldenlove I will tell you that you will have a system and leaving the house may be easier because you have to do it so often. With M we had practically daily appts for what seemed like forever and I had to drag a bazillion medical supplies with me. It was part of our daily routine and I didn't know any different. I hope the closer hospital is great though!

My H is home today so we are going to head to the children’s museum shortly. We originally wanted to go to the zoo but it’s raining and the weather is forecasting rain all day so we’ll save that for next week sometime.

I have to block walk for a school board member today. At least the high is only 85 and I can watch netflix on my phone.

Working today. Burned my arm pouring up a cup of tea. Doesn't appear to be blistering or anything, just red and sore. Whoever has my voodoo doll could you please be done with it, thanks.

I just got back from my interview. I think it went really well! I met with the guy I spoke with yesterday, who would be my team lead and then a woman in Reno who is his boss's boss. They were both really nice and understanding that I don't have the experience. Apparently, if hired, I would be replacing a man who is still there but doesn't know he's about to lose his job. They said he came to them with supply chain experience but that he isn't growing or learning. He's been there 8 months and is still asking the same questions as day 1. So a little intimidating, but I don't think that would be a problem for me. I think this is something I can quickly pick up, so I'm excited at the idea of having a job where you are constantly learning new things and adding new skills to my resume. They are big on continuous improvement, which I also really enjoy. Next step would be a 2nd interview with the customer that the team works with (Microsoft).
Other things I like, he said that while training I would match his hours (8-5) but once I'm able to be on my own for at least a couple of hours, I can come in when I want. Basically, it's an hourly position but they don't track your hours. You're expected to be there by 8:30 for a daily meeting, but past that it's pretty much up to you. As long as you get your shit done they don't really care. Which is awesome.

tgrimes, what’s a block walk? Nothing going on here! We walk the neighborhood and put postcard size campaign shit on their doors. This time was more involoved because they only wanted to target the people that have previously voted but not yet early voted. Usually we just hit up every house, so no Netflix for me today.

I just got a call from the guy I interviewed with and I don't have to have a 2nd interview. He pushed my resume to HR. I unofficially have the job. Need to wait for HR to send me an official offer and of course for my background check and drug tests to come through before anything is set. But basically the job is mine!! He did say that HR works at their own pace so I'll probably still have a few weeks before everything comes together.

MH has an interview tomorrow, too. It's pretty much in the same area I'll be in, just a few buildings over.
