Good morning Lounging by the pool at my in laws. The court is closed for Victory Day and Dh took PTO so we could stay over last night. Dh slept with C who kept him up all night being a fidget and my bed was hard and I woke up with three very painful bug bites. But the pool is making up for it. We will probably head home around noon.

klong11 I hope your cat is better soon! So I got my daily email from Indeed and the company that offered me a job a few months ago, but that I turned down due to their hours, has the position posted again. The person they hired must have lasted 2-3 months and left already. Part of me wants to email them and see if they'd budge on the hours and offer me more money. But then I also wonder how bad it is that the last person didn't last. I'm pretty torn and waiting on H to respond to my text with his input.

Morning.
Just got a cavity filled at the dentist. I have to make some returns then back home until it's time to pick M up.
The days pass by so fast these days. Before I know it, it's bed time. I do have to update you guys that bed time has been easier lately. Earlier mornings make for an easy going bed time. Some days are still hectic, but not as bad as it was before I posted my frustration.

I didn't oversleep, but I was sleeping SO hard and having a dream that seemed real, waking up was hard. Oh Monday, I loathe you. flamingo That sounds like a great restaraunt! I'd like to throw rocks into the ocean! Cher hoping for good news from your appt today! lfig I hope your employee is not injured! We are going to my brothers tonight for dinner. My oldest nephew finished his internship in Florida Friday and drove home over the weekend, he leaves Wednesday for school, so I'm excited to see him and hear how his summer went. I slept super hard too. My SIL and family are still staying over and all 4 of them (2 babies) are staying in the guest room which shares a wall with our room. Apparently one of the babies was up every 1.5 hours last night crying. I only heard her once. Oh, and I had a super vivid sex dream about an ex boyfriend from 15 years ago. In the dream we were both married to our actual spouses, but our office admin was helping to arrange the illicit sex and just as it was happening his wife showed up, only his wife was Tyga. And with his wife was my kid. Only my kid in this dream was a 4 or 5 year old girl. I begged Tyga to not cause a scene in front of the kid, and he complied, and suddenly we had to flee the room so he was helping us (me and the kid... don't know where X was). But I knew once the fleeing was over, he would be confronting me, so I was also trying to secretly get away from him at the same time. Super weird.

That's true, I did express my interest to them when I tried to negotiate. And H and I discussed it into the ground at the time, but he kept saying I'd be miserable there. Come on mwhip! I get to drink wine at work, the grass is NOT always greener! Thanks for your input!

Whenever I hire for a position, and the person hired doesn't work out with the first few months, I always go back to anyone that was in the top running and reach out to them first, before reposting it. So I feel like if they really wanted you, and were willing/able to make those changes, they probably would have reached out before posting the ad.

Does anyone else that watches Game of Thrones have to google it the next day to read up on everything you missed or didn't understand?? Lol I'm always asking MH a million questions when we watch together. For instance, last night had something tied to season 1 that's I totally forgot about and had to google.... my brain is fried.

The Ben & Jerry's almond milk ice cream (I've had two favors, but one was some kind of chocolate coffee mixture that was extra good) is absolutely delicious.

Apparently, you got points when you used it and then you could use the points for something. It was only in a few areas, since they were still in the testing phase of it, but I guess it didn't work out, so they are getting rid of it.

Ah, it's just the Cartwheel Perks program, not Cartwheel itself. Yes, this. I think I read somewhere that they are going to get rid of the actual cartwheel app and then it would be merged with the regular target app, but I didn't verify that.

So here are some job updates:
The third place that I interviewed with turned me down today, so I didn't make it to the final round.
The nonprofit offered me a job today but the offer was extremely low so I can't take it. Even still, I wouldn't have been happy at that job because it's not the direction I wanted my career to take.
My first choice which I had 11 interviews for took my references on Thursday but haven't contacted them yet. I emailed the hiring manager today asking for a quick call. I wanted to let her know I got another offer(she doesn't need to know I won't take it) and that her company is my top choice, when will they make a decision on my candidacy. Is this a dumb move?
I'm freaking out. I went from three job prospects to one in an hour. And the guy I had the extra phone interview with on Friday said something about wanting the hiring manager to interview lots of people instead of two. Plus they haven't contacted my references yet so I'm freaking out that they might not want me.
This is like the worst parts of dating.

Hello. I had the fetal echo this morning and everything is ok but not perfect like I hoped. She saw extra beats in his upper chamber. She said they were infrequent, baby tolerated them fine, and they should resolve before birth and even if they don't, they should not require treatment. She didn't think I need to come back but said my OB may want me to come back next month.
After all 3 kids and I got our hair cut at the same time and it went very smooth. Later we are out to dinner for DS1's birthday.

I'm sorry it wasn't clear kim22 but it sounds promising. snoopmommymom I'm always conflicted on the threat of another offer. On one hand as the hiring manager I want to know if my top choice may go elsewhere, but I also don't want to feel rushed in my decision. So I'm no help. Fingers crossed you get it though.

My lazy day turned into a Monday. First fighting with insurance for coverage of my insulin pumps and hunting down a new distributor. Then a fraud alert on my Apple account which took forever to deal with and still isn't resolved. There's a charge for an app that costs 75 euros. Followed by a demand letter from the City of Boston regarding excise tax even though I thought I solved this and have spent more time on hold with the collector over the past few months. Then I ate my leftovers for lunch and got sick. Dh is dead tired and I feel guilty leaving him on C duty but I need to lay down. Otherwise I will lose it.

So I talked to the hiring manager and things sound bleak. My sense is that she likes me but her greater group want more options. So I don't think she is close to offering me anything, unfortunately (after 11 interviews!). We are going to talk again Thursday and if she doesn't have an answer I will say I decided not to take the other position because it was not the right fit for me. In case they decide they want me later.
I feel extremely defeated. This day can end now. I can't believe after all this I may end up with nothing and having to start from square one.
