well, just got the official word. the Soup Nazi said, "No soup for you!" of the two positions, one they are choosing not to fill at this time. in other words - "we didnt find anyone that we think could fill the position from the group presented." so i'm not good enough for them. wonderful! of the second position, they have selected someone else from the pool. i dont mind this one as bad because the lady they selected would have otherwise lost her position. also, with my moving to that position, it would have left a hole where i am currently, which they would have had to interview for, blah, bl-blah, blah. it was the lower of my wanted positions, so no big loss. but where do i go from here? - job seeking outside of this agency. yeah, time to make a move, away from the tax man. - job seeking outside of the state. theres city, county... boards, commissions. - job seeking outside of government. nothing says that i have to stay in government. it was supposed to be a stop gap kind of thing anyway. at least originally. so watch out private sector! most of all, i'll just continue to do what i always do. i am sure that this has put some scare into a few people. good! they need some scare. there are a lot of things that i do that go undocumented, that i have taken on without being asked, that would be very missed, that would crumble without my tutelage. so they should be rightfully scared. yes, there are procedures but its more about understanding and less about following steps 1 to 5. hmm, me thinks i need to buy a lottery ticket.

well, the interview is friday morning at 8:15 in what we call the Triangle Room. its a meeting room on our third floor that is in the shape of... a triangle! funny how that works. i figure that one of three scenarios will go forth: 1. they dont want me for either of the two positions. in which case, no skin off my nose. 2. they want me for the position in my division. i would have to seriously think about this one and would probably not accept the position. 3. they want me for the other position. while i have been in the same spot for nearly 4 years, i know things here. its comfortable. so i would accept in a heartbeat. so, we will see come friday. ~~ last night, i got home and decided that i didnt want to cook. so i opted for pizza. figaro's has what they are calling the "Ultimate All-American". its a 17"x12" (guessing) rectangle pizza with four different toppings - cheese in one quadrant, pepperoni in another, hawaiian in another, and sausage/olives/mushrooms in the last. this works perfect for us. the brother likes pepperoni. mom likes hawaiian. and i like pizza. not bad for $12.99. ~~ i did restrain myself and my wallet last night. i was so tempted to run out and get Resident Evil 4. but i held back. until tonight that is! ha!

well... after another full filled two hour meeting, i came back to my desk to find two voice mail messages. the first was from a lady who apparently has the incorrect number. she was calling for a service that i dont even recognize. yes, i will have to return her call. she actually listened to my voice mail message because she addressed me by name. wonderful! the second was to ask if i would like to take an interview as a transfer to one of two positions. after checking with a couple people, i think i will take the interview. the first position is in my same division, just another section. if selected for that position, i wouldnt take it. the second position is with a different division. from my conversations with people, it would be an interesting job. if selected for that position, i would have to consider it heavily. its not that i totally dislike my current position. its just that some of the people that i have to deal with daily are really abrasive. (someone used that word earlier today and i fell in love with its visual.) i would even say that at least one is incompetent in their position. getting away from them would shine a light on their shortcomings. so, let me accept that interview. ~~ in addition, on the cell phone... Rick called. he was boasting that he already purchased and has started playing Resident Evil 4 for GameCube. good for him. he just has to be an ass and try to shove my nose in it. for that, he still hasnt purchased his DS, which i have had since before Christmas. every time he is down, he drools over it. he just needs to get his priorities in the right place. (yes, i mean you!) also, mom called on the cell. she wanted to know i there was anything that she could do to help with dinner tonight. i told her no, that i had everything under control. i know that she wants to help out but sometimes i would rather that she just wait until i am home to at least monitor things. yes, she is getting better every day. but, she is having dizzy spells (probably from the meds) and the kitchen is down two steps. i would rather that she not traverse that path too often. with that said, dinner tonight will be polska kielbasa, noodles in a garlic butter sauce, served with a green salad. if you would like to join us, dinner will be at 6. please RSVP to my private line.
