wholefoodnut's Journal, 18 Aug 14

Eating well so far today and I'm not starving after work today. Made it through another Monday, exercise today will be many trips up and down my stairs (step aerobics LOL) have a ton of stuff that either needs to be tossed or stored in the garage that currently resides in my basement. Trash day is tomorrow.

Interview today turned interesting. I think I have a chance, partly because I know the team, the other is my background with the company. Another discussion with them (2 people) later in the week, so that made me feel good. We will see. Might even have the hours that I like.

Also another good thing, my rider has accepted a new position starting shortly so her hours will no longer match mine. That means saving 10 miles getting to the gym on gym days and surprisingly almost an hour of time. Less stress in the am for me due to her being constantly late. It will also allow me to do food shopping in smaller amounts after work, that will mean I can buy smarter and not over do. Yay! My after work time will be back to being my own.

Such a positive journal, with many of your dreams coming true for you. Good luck getting the new position at your workplace!

Deb not sure if it's totally positive, good for me. Not totally nice to my rider, who has been rather annoying me. Deb, new job would mean lots of learning about investments I know very little about, not sure yet if any extra $$ as it's a lateral move. I like the manager ironically his name is Jerry.

I can feel the sense of possibilities in your post. Perhaps not everything will be positive, but the possibilities are there for positive change. Perhaps the changes for your rider will present positives for her too. Your "step aerobics" have encouraged me...I need to go down to my basement and bring up a box of cake decorating supplies for a wedding cake I need to make for the weekend...my steps are steep and due to my artificial knee and venous insufficiency, I don't go up and down very often...usually I ask GoodMan or my DS...but not tonight. Hope your evening goes well, and good luck on your possibilities.

Hope the new job works out, and good to hear that riding solo sounds like a plus! Xoxox

Hipaagrammy, thanks. Whatever happens it will be for the best, I know they have others to interview. If this job isn't mine they are considering another new position opening as well in that department, maybe that one will be. I know about avoiding the stairs, been there, now they aren't so daunting.

Ruhu, riding solo is I think going to be a relief, it was so nice when she was on vacation. Job if it works good, if not there will be others to post out to.

Didn't realize you were on a job hunt. Best of luck!

Not really Buffy, putting in for other positions within the company. Trying to decrease my stress level and my daily mental exhaustion. I work in a department with the highest turnover in the company due to both the job and the management. I've been there 6.5 years most people don't survive one. If I land one good, if I don't I still have my job. 2nd interview so far, a friend got the first one, she will be really good at it and happy for her.

Forgot to eat dinner. Realized I was hungry about 8:30. Heated up a potato and cooked 2 eggs.

I finished the grapes that I hadn't eaten from my lunch, a 1/2 cup of ice cream (the kids didn't eat all of it on Sunday) had a glass of wine after work. Started working on my list, it was hot and humid, had to take some breaks, so checked here when I did. All of a sudden it was 8:30 and almost dark. Hadn't been hungry till then.

Good luck! Eliminating old and unused stuff really helps clear the house and the mind - and also makes way for new and exciting stuff :-) I wish you the best with the job opportunity.

Sounds like you're on the path to better things! I hope you get the new team and have less stress. I never did carpool ... except w/Cutty ... I would imagine sharing the expense would be nice but at what cost if having to accommodate different schedule. BCF is always inviting me to carpool to trade shows w/her... they smoke.. I'm not trashing smokers but I couldn't ride 15 hours in the car with that nor would they go 15 w/o one... so .. won't happen.

I couldn't handle a smoker either. Just the smell almost makes me sick. Actually excited that I will be on my own again to and from work. If I get the new position the hours may flexible, liking that idea. the next couple weeks will tell.
