Still plugging along

I clearly have too many places to share certain types of information… I completely forgot to post here and now it’s a non-issue.

I had a series of interviews for a temp-to-perm job the last two weeks. I ended up not getting it, but I’m not upset about it. Over the course of the nearly 3 weeks since I was first contacted to determine my interest, we went from “occasional overtime” to “a couple days a month” to “I’m so backed up that you’re going to be putting in 2-3 hours a day every day for 4-6 weeks”. The interviews went really well and in the end it was down to me and one other candidate. They ended up going with the other person in the end, and I think it was because I have kids and they were concerned about my ability to work that much overtime. I had family lined up and ready to cover so I could take it, even though I was having doubts myself. In the end, I’m glad that she decided to pass me over. It would have been nice to have gotten all that overtime pay, but it would have been a major strain on the family situation. I do have other irons in the fire.

I’m back in the stitching groove as well, putting several hours into Autumn Sunset Sampler as well as working on a crocheted scarf during church. Half an hour a day, one day a week…. this is an awfully slow scarf. Then again, so are all of my other projects lately. :)
