Thinking of you sweetie! I really hope you get the break you want and need. This whole being dependent on other people thing isn't fun at all. And although life is a lot more than work having a job is such a confidence boost plus it's a big part of your identity whether you want it to be or not. I really hope everything goes just great!
Hugs,
Ulrika

Bring on the weekend! I just went on a loooong job interview yday (3 hours), and wouldn't you know it? The skies opened up and started pouring as soon as I left (in my swish interview clothes, gaah!) so I ducked into a bar to get a seared mahi salad. (the IBS version, nothing that goes *crunch*)
But then the bartender just started bringing over one drink after another and doing them with me... And I had a fake old wedding ring on (Hey, if that adds $10K to my asking salary, I will pretend to GO THERE, sorry!) So I was plastered by the time I went back to the Metro...  He only charged me for the salad, too. Niice.
I get the call soon if I got it. It's in Dupont Circle, no clue to what the title is. I have my cell not 6 inches away from me at all times in case it should ring... v excited. Hope, hope, hope it comes through. Then I can plunk a new sea kayak on the top of my new Pathfinder. And be in DC all the time again.
WISH ME LUCK!
Love to all!

I hope you get it. I'm just impressed you get through these things successfully and that your IBS doesn't stop you from going after what you want.
Hugs,

Good luck, Nelly!! Maybe you won't have to resort to selling your internal organs after all! Though if you do, I've still got dibs on that kidney.

This office is in the dingy part of Dupont, 2 blocks from the strip clubs (yes we have those in DC, within view of the Washington Monument!).  But if they can meet my salary rate AND cough up health insurance (dare I dream?), I'm there!
Nice to have backups, though! One kidney, check. Care to go double on the bone marrow? I've got a bunch of that, too! Priced to go!!!!!

I paid the piper today when I forced something that looked strangely like a solid block of choc ice cream from my fiery bowels. I'm popping some Donnatal next time, cos the Imodium I took didn't quite do it for me.
Lousy mysterious alcho-shots, glass of wine and seared mahi tuna yesterday... I like to play pretend that I'm a powerful executive having a lavish, devil-may-care alcholunch when I'm in an interview suit, surrounded by the Big City and various other over-educated barflies with straight teeth moaning about Nietzsche. Had a nice high off of the interview and decided to celebrate/play pretend/do some damage at the same time. 
Ah, blending with the common man. I can do it for, well, brief bursts, but today the day after, WOOF. I paid and paid and paid.
But I have to say, it's nice to pretend I'm not an IBS freak of nature every once and again while in nice public society, where my actual life would make everyone's collective heads whirl around and burst into flames.
I am considering installing a permanent epidural anesthesia line through my spinal cord. Urge to push? Sorry, don't know what that is...Please pass the margarhita mix...?

(P.S. No call from the job yet. I talked to my references, who are on high alert in case they get, well, referenced. )
THANKS to all who were thinking of me. Body parts, all around. Basement prices guaranteed. -N.

I just remembered to email in a thank-you note to my interviewers... D'OH! (!!!!!)
They'll see it came in on Saturday, but oh WELL. Better late than never.
I go from being way upbeat to crushingly low. I seem to be short cycling as a reaction to not knowing if I got this stupid position. Got to CLEAR my HEAD.
Going for a drive and listen to some loud music.
