Whistle While You Work
>> 23 June 2010
Well it happened exactly the way I thought it would. I got the job I didn't want. Yes, I know I sound like the biggest whiny baby ever and do I know how many people would love to have this job right now, missy? I know, I know.
All I can say is it's a good thing I didn't want the job or the process would have driven me crazy. Three interviews, they called every person I've ever met since the beginning of all time. I had to sign over the first born.
But I really wanted to be home with my kids this summer. Foot Stomp.
It's actually going to be a good job. The job itself that is. Pretty close to what I've always done. Nice people. The dress casual. Lots of phone work and analysis.
Plus the money will really come in handy when school starts again. We won't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel one week a month while I'm waiting for the checks to roll in.
I just wanted to go do fun stuff with the kids all summer. Sad Face.
I should have married wealthy, dammit.

My mother always said "you can marry more in a minute that you can make in a lifetime." But I had to fall in "love."
Good luck!
It will make the time you have with the children this summer even more special in that you will cherish the minutes you have. And lets face it, mo money is a good thing.
Don't we all wish we had married wealthy.. lol
We should have ALL married for money...if only I had my 40 year old wisdom when I was a ditzy 20 something all a-flutter over love...stupid stupid stupid!!
LOL!! :-D
Aw...your rich in other ways. As the saying goes, "when you marry for money, you end up earning every cent."
Scary thought, huh? Doin' the nasty with someone you can barely look at...
I will agree with all of the "we should have married wealthy" comments. With that being said; I should have been a teacher so we had most of the summers off still...
hhhmmmmm, there's a thought. I wonder if I can teach while being heavily medicated to deal with others' kids. :)
Glad you got a job, sad you can't spend more time with the kids though.
My wife also frequently laments not marrying money. I tell her it's her own fault: she married well below her station, and should've known better.
I married the guy with the penis I knew I'd never get tired of. haha!
I've sat in interviews twice where I realized I didn't want the job. The first time I bombed on purpose, thus hurting my professional reputation. The second time, I was wiser. Half way as their describing a typical day, I stop them and ask them if this is just a situation to test me out and see how I'd react under extreme stuff, and they said oh no, this is to be expected daily. I got up, walked around the room shaking everybody's hands, saying thanks for your time but I was not interested in the position.
Shocked they asked me to at least finish the interview in case I'd "fit" elsewhere. So I answered their "situation" question by saying after 3 days like that I'd write them a 2-weeks notice.
Good on you for being the adult and going all the way, and hey you just may like the job you didn't want!
