Luci Interview Update

Right as I sat down to write this, exhaustion decided to set in. It has been a long, emotionally full day. I had my Luci interview today down in Chicago. The day started off bad because the alarm on my crappy Pixel phone decided not to go off. Again. It always decides it wants to do this on the most important day. Last time, it was when Manfred was picking me and Emily up for the airport. The timing literally could not be worse. And the damn thing even says "Upcoming alarm 7:15am" AFTER the fact, then will suddenly say "Missed alarm." Stupid piece of...

Anyway. The interview went really well. I'd say really well (Brandy was like my personal cheerleader and the Executive Creative Director loved me), except for the end kind of messed that up. I asked them to let me know if I was not their candidate of choice and that I couldn't move my start date for my other job, but I could push back my move date; and they all went completely silent. It became really awkward and it ended on that note. Even Brandy, who had been in my corner up until then, became really weird. I don't know if I phrased my request weirdly or if they weren't a fan of what I said. Or maybe they were just processing it. Anyway, it wasn't the best way to end it, but I don't think it would offset everything else in the interview.

I'm optimistic but realize that the time constraints might ultimately fight against me. They may not be ready or willing to make a decision so quickly, and I won't have a choice but to go with plan A.

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - "One Last Kiss" Drinking: Sen cha from Fava Tea Mood: Mellow-ish. Waking up Working on: Adding Crew 11 to the ISS Wall interactive in Atlantis Reading: Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (audiobook). About to pick up Matilda by Roald Dahl.  Remember when Livejournal used to have the tags at the end where you could add what you were listening to and what your mood was? Mine had little blue kitty icons that went with your mood and were very cute. I miss them. I particularly remember the 'productive' one, where the cat hat glasses on and was tapping on a keyboard. There was also one where it was snoozing and had little 'zzz's above its head.  On a different note, I had never heard this song by Utada Hikaru before (well, apparently I had because I had already "liked" it on Pandora, but I don't remember it), but I really like it. I'm actually repeating it again. It gives old school Utada vibes but apparently came out ...

Daily Journal

したこと: - Found out someone at work was trying to groom me to cheat on his wife with him, something he's tried before with other women at work, unsuccessfully.  - Had to sign paperwork with my boss in the room stating that I understand employees are allowed to have relationships with each other (I never questioned that) after someone claimed I made a statement I never did after they themselves made many compromising statements. Awkward situations abound now. But everyone has to work professionally and deal, and I better than anyone can do that.  - My boss handled the situation neutrally and incredibly respectfully. I felt incredibly supported by her in that moment and like she handled it very well. I appreciated her skills as a leader in that situation and am grateful. She closed the situation graciously.  - She also graciously checked in on my workload. It was one of the moments that made me remember when Christine actually felt like a great boss when I really liked workin...

Souperbowl III

Tonight was my third annual Souperbowl. It was the best one yet. I added mini disposable muffin tins, which were a huge hit. You could sample six soups at once and not overeat and have to keep going back.  There were 10 soups, buffalo chicken dip, 3 main breads, and also a baguette and naan. Meredith won again best soup, Meghan won best bread, and Mikayla won most creative soup. The price for best soup was a tamagotchi, which sent little Meredith Magness in tears when her family didn't win.  There were at least 27 people because I bought 28 muffin tins and there was only one left; although when we counted for voting, there were only 22 (plus Kerri in her room).  All in all, it was a great Souper Bowl. Everyone got along and there was so much crossover between people who had never even met before. Nothing but positive vibes.
