Thirteen things related to my job interview...

Well, I'm doing my TT on this just because I'm swamped with work and can't think of much else.

1. The interview is in the morning. It was moved from 10 to 11 am.

2. It's for a job I'd be thrilled to do. I'm also damn sure I'd be good at it!

3. It would be for Big Multinational Company. It's actually a worldwide one! DUH!!!

4. I had a haircut yesterday to look good. I just did my nails and shined my shoes. I don't look too bad!

5. I'll wear black stylish pants with a belt.

6. Oh and a blouse, my favorite green one. I look better wearing green, it's my favorite color but I also feel more comfortable or , whatever huh!

7. I won't show any cleavage!!! I'll refrain! LOL!!!! I'll look like a pretty good girl.

8. I'm terrified!!! I'm sure you didn't know this!!!

9. At the same time if I get it, it's great, if not, I've got other plans.

10. I'll have to pass a psych test after the interview. I guess to make sure I'm not crazy.

11. TFB will drop me there.

12. I have told only close friends about it and on the blog. Some called to say "I'll think and pray for you".

13. I'll be good, confident, give them a good handshake, I'll sell myself!!! If I can feel as comfortable and confident as I do when we welcome the cruise ship, I know I just shine, I've been told numerous time and I feel at the right place.

If you've got good thoughts, vibes, prayers to spare, I need them. As I need a hug and some sleep. I put on the headphone and the effin phone rang, the caller DID not leave a message. UGGH!!!! I did a *67, it said "number can't be trace back uggh!".

Well the day's over at least!

It is and I did everything I had to do except calling my answering machine to check messages after 11h00 AM. for sure, I usually check my fucking messages 10 times a day and it's never worth it, or very rarely. The day I'm swamped enough not to check them. I should have. Murphy's law huh?

Big Multinational company left 2 messages to move my interview an hour later. When I got the message it was almost 18h45, no one was there. So, I have agreed to it and left them my cell phone number if there's anything. The thing is that I don't leave my number on my resume because it's not always on, there's no point of giving it to people if you aren't using it all the time eh? So, I've got one more hour to send in news releases or The Parish. Yup because we are doing press releases to publicize the closing of the Parish Anniversary and I'm in charge of this and I've gotta contact journalists and media folks to try to convince them to show us, give us an interview or something.

I've got one more hour tomorrow morning to stress out, to be anxious. At the Church this afternoon I was soo freaking stressed out that I would have given a lot for a hug. but not from visitors nor strangers, I have my lines yanno.

So yeah, I'm on freaking needles and pins. Anyone volunteering to be the one to give me a hug . I need to sleep tonight, I'll take something to help because I NEED to sleep.

Whacha going to do tonight? TT anyone?

Super duper tuesday!

I'm sorry, I have no interesting title for this blog entry. I'm listening to a CD of "Les grandes Gueules", TFB had a copy and we listened to some of it today and I left with the CD to listen and laugh at home. I had him listen and watch to Drew Barrymore's SNL skit about the job interview. And we laughed. I promise I won't be that silly on Thursday.

I spend the day at TFB and SW's house, I was at the office until 9 AM and left after. I did work. And helped out dear friends.

I went to my hair dresser at 16h15, she did a good job. I wanted to look my best for my interview. If my stupid breakout face would get the hell away, this would help. I'm stressed out but for fuck's sake, I need to sleep tonight. This morning I offered The Tall friend's wife to watch her kids while she was going to parent-teacher night, when I left my hairdresser, I called her and asked if she needed me and she did. They were sweet, I love them.

So I'm a little tired, I need to try to rest. Later guys!!!

update on God's ways are mysterious...

I had a phone interview at 8h00 this morning, for about 15 mins, I expected all the questions, I was ready, I was good. I'm going for a face to face interview Thursday in the morning. I'm just stressed, thrilled and uh, stressed!!! I can't believe His ways are that mysterious, I'm just unbelievably shocked that I let go and let God and uh, it's actually working.

I need to get back to work!

Later alligators!!!!

God's ways are mysterious...

Ugh!! They are!!! What do you believe?

In June, I sent my resume to Big Multinational company at the request of Cute Friend who works there. She says they need someone like me. No answers, nothing. In august they do the process AGAIN, I freaking sends in my resume because I believe I have a chance. No answer so, I let go and let God as they say.But actually believe, screw them, I'll do something else, I'm not due to do this, obviously.


Guess who called this afternoon? Yup someone from Big Multinational company asking me to give them a call tomorrow. They have questions for me. That's the weirdest thing, you let go and things happen. I'll call but I'm still pretty flabbergasted that they are calling now. This confuses me, is this God's way of showing me to a right direction for me? Is this meant? Should I go to school? Now, before you guys email me to cuss at me because I'm hesitating, know that I'll call, answer whatever question they've got, go for an interview and work there if they offer a job. It's messing with my head because I've went to "I need to work there" to, "oh, that would be nice but I know I can do good anywhere". If that makes any sense!

This afternoon I finished my final paper, now it's being reviewed by The Passionate One and I'm hoping this will all be printed and OK ed by the end of Wednesday.

I've rubbed my right eye with uncleaned hands and it's having some type of reaction. It's all my fault!!!

Ethan at Gentleman Gigolo answered few of my question. Go visit him.

I almost threw a fit

I come at the office this morning to find out that the work laptop (the computer I use) isn't there. Ugh!!! My co-worker The Deacon is usually a bit dreamy( lives on another planet), I freaked out a little bit "Is he coming this morning?" I ask the girls? They don't know. I call his house, he's not there. Ugh!!!

I need my computer this morning to work on my final paper and also because everything related to my work is on the freaking computer. Ugh!!! So instead of getting pissed off while waiting for him, I go to The Closed Church and do what I have to do there. When I come back inside the office a little before 9h00 AM, he's there with my precious computer.

Crisis avoided y'all, crisis avoided!!!! Good for me I didn't lost it huh?

What are you listening right now?

Inspired by Eternal Flux I'm listening to Poison by Alice Cooper. This is a song that I use to listen in my teen years. In my green-dyed hair and pot smoking days! I was a rebellious teen who was calling people "Sir and Ma'am" and said "please and thank you" when I was with people. I looked like one but was not really one. Yeah, the irony of teenagers.

I'm posting the lyrics, I'm sorry in advance if I offend any christian because Alice Cooper has a pretty dark image but a song's a song eh?Nothing more, nothing less.

Your cruel device!
Your blood like ice!
One look could kill
my pain, your thrill!
I wanna love you,
but I better not touch! (don't touch!)
I wanna hold you,
but my senses tell me to stop!
I wanna kiss you,
but but I want it too much!
I wanna taste you,
but your lips are venomous poison!
You're poison running
through my veins!
I don't wanna break these chains!
Your mouth so hot!
Your web, I'm caught!
Your skin, so wet,
black lace, on sweat!
I hear you calling
and its needles and pins! (and pins!)
I wanna hurt you just to
hear you screaming my name!
Don't wanna touch you,
but you're under my skin! (breathe in!)
I wanna taste you but,
your lips are venomous poison!
You're poison running
through my veins!
I don't wanna break these chains!
Poison! Poison!
One look could kill
my pain, your thrill!
I wanna love you,
but I better not touch! (don't touch!)
I wanna hold you,
but my senses tell me to stop!
I wanna kiss you,
but I want it too much!
I wanna taste you,
but your lips are venomous poison!
You're poison running
through my veins!
I don't wanna break these chains!
One look could kill
my pain, your thrill!
I wanna love you,
but I better not touch! (don't touch!)
I wanna hold you,
but my senses tell me to stop!
I wanna kiss you,
but I want it too much!
I wanna taste you,
but your lips are venomous poison!
You're poison running
through my veins!
I don't wanna break these chains!
One look could kill
my pain, your thrill!
I wanna love you,
but I better not touch! (don't touch!)
I wanna hold you,
but my senses tell me to stop!
I wanna kiss you,
but I want it too much!
I wanna taste you,
but your lips are venomous poison!
You're poison running
through my veins!
I don't wanna break these chains!

I'm going back to work on my paper. By the way, do you like my kitten image?

It's Sunday and I'm working...

Yup, I'm working on my final paper for The Parish, it includes everything I have done over the course of my contract. I still have a week to finish it but because I'm anal about doing it to the perfection a perfectionist and like not to freak out at the last minutes, I've been working on it all afternoon. It looks good.

I met with TFB and SW for late breakfast, it was fun, we laughed a lot, talked about politic, religion (debated the future of the catholic church ), The Parish, school (the program I want to do). I told SW the Paul Davis's story and we laughed, they both know Coffee Buddy and love her a lot, she is a sweetheart. We had a nice time, don't we always?

I've been on the phone on and off while working on my paper. The Psych Nurse and I talked, we miss each other, she works, I work. She wanted me to go shopping Friday but there was a cruise ship in town so I couldn't take time off. The Photographer phoned me at least 5 times all of this without me stopping what I was doing.

That's my pretty mellow update, I'll continue working on my final paper, shower, then get ready for tomorrow. My house is clean, everything's fine.

The only issue I have is with my cat, he's just being an odd ball. I woke up to him biting the hell out of my arm, so as a good cat mommy, I went to checked if he had food, fresh water and he was fine. He had no reason to bite me but sometimes he's a brat. He's my brat, I adore this cat, he's just a little weirdo but so am I. Do you have any fur baby? Do they have little mental issue or quirks?

Holy crap!!! AKA I received an odd phone call

Phone rings 5 minutes ago (It's freaking 22h41) I'm wondering who's calling this late. I mean I don't have phone calls that late unless there's an emergency.

Me: Hello
Unknown Male: Hi sweetie
M: HUH? Hey...
UM: What are you doing? Watching a movie?
M: Thinking Who The Hell is it??I'm Er, Who's this?
UM: It's me
M: You who? Who's this again?
UM: It's the cute guy you were speaking of
M: (Actually thinking of cutie pie but it's impossible, didn't give him info on me, he works on a cruise ship.) Who are you?
UM: You don't know? I saw you this morning?
M:What the fuck? I only went out to return empty beer cases, didn't see any guy No, seriously Who's this???
UM: It's Steve
M: Steve... Who?
UM: You mean you are not Lise?
M: Lise? What the hell? Nope dude, I'm not Lise.
UM: I'm soo sorry ma'am. I must have dialed the wrong number. I'm soo sorry!
M: It's okay, I hope you find her.
UM: Ma'am, I'm sorry.
M: It's fine. Bye!!!

Seriously, I was thinking "I am crazy? Did I meet with someone today? Huh? I'm not drunk, didn't had any alcohol, and I don't do drugs. What the heck?" Poor guy felt bad, I wasn't offended, just had a "WTF" moment.

It's Saturday night and

and I'm just totally relaxing. I swear weekends were created for people who work M-F to relax, clean their home and sleep. Yup, I only went out today (without makeup on ) to return empty cases of beer. I was cleaning my place, vacuuming and wanted to de-clutter, anyway, they had been drank were empty.

I'm going to The Restaurant with TFB and SW, we're meeting around 11h45am/ 12h00 PM , the first one to arrive gets to wait for a table. A friend invited me to go to mass with her at 11AM because TYP is presiding but I already told her that I didn't wanted to go get up and that I was meeting with people around quarter to 12 PM. (which is totally true, I feel cheap not to go) but I often feel cheap when I choose to do something for myself and someone already told me I feel way too guilty for too many things that aren't worthy of me being stuck in guilt.

This week I'll be praying for TYP who is leaving his annual retreat, if you pray, keep him in yours. If you need prayers drop me a comment or an email I'll gladly oblige.

What is everyone doing? Do you have any routine with people you like? IE: going out every week at the same place, meeting or speaking on the phone. Picking up your favorite magazine every week etc. I'm a routine girl, I don't mind new things and change but when I'm happy and comfortable in something, I keep on doing it until I want or have to change. I'm not a very impulsive person.

Update on the cutie pie working on the cruise ship

He didn't come by BUT he send me visitors (I guess he was on duty today). Few groups of visitors told me that "Cutie pie from the cruise ship" told them to come to The Church that that the girl (Me) was nice and the best. They said "He spoke highly of you". I actually blushed!

So that's it, no picture of him, altho TFB was ready to try to take one from him (with his permission) but no such luck. Didn't matter, I was glad that he liked his visit enough to recommend passengers to stop by The Church. That in itself is a blessing!!!

That was my update!!! Just because I know few of you replied to my TT .

I just gave the link of my blog to a friend, I hope he likes it. Hello friend!!! Let me know OK?

Way too effin deep thought for a Friday night!

Seriously! It's not 23h00, I'm not drunk but damn my thoughts are profound.

If XYZ didn't happen to me, I wouldn't be who I am today.It made me this strong person. But I also chose to transform it into something creative, something full of life. It was a "Marvelous misfortune" says Boris Cyrulnik when he speaks of the concept of resilience. We as humans can be creator of life when terrible shit happens.

Two years ago I was the shadow of who I am today, which isn't bad, it's just a fact. It's sad but nothing that couldn't be fixed as you can see.

On a lighter topic, the cruise ship was somewhat big (not huge), the people were nice but I didn't feel the "magic" connection with the visitors. Was it my fault? Maybe?! I was tired, had a long day, I was also more than prepared, happy to be there. No one was rude, they were nice, interested but the "magic" connection, the little click that makes human interaction different wasn't there. But no one pissed in my Cheerios! The weather was magnificent, just in the 80s F, not windy at ALL, just awesome.

TFB and SW joined me very early, parishioners came. We were close a little before 16h00 because the cruise ship left a little earlier than planned. We went to the park parallel to the shore and look at the ship leaving. The weather was nice, we met with many local people. (Duh!) I believed I was done, I even said there's "no fucking way I'd be leaving my place tonight" but after a shower, a drink, an hour in my jammies I went with friends at The Coffee Place. I'm actually not hard to convince when I had a shower and food in my stomach. I'm a cheap whore eh?

I'm sleeping in late tomorrow morning. I think I'll close the ring on the phone so I'm not bothered if someone calls. I need to relax. I don't have to go home because I stopped at the grocery store on my way back home.

My plans for the "after" are being done, they will include a "Go back to school for an intensive year and get a permanent job after".

What are your plans for this weekend? How was your week?

It's 5 in the morning

I'm up, it's not easy to be up that early because I like to sleep in but it's for such a good reason. Cruise Ship

Just so you guys know, there are negatives sides to working in a parish but soo many positive ones.Human nature is what it is may it be inside of a church, an accounting office or an aluminium plant. If you know what I mean.

Off for coffee and get myself ready! I'll post later today when I get back home.

13 things that went wrong this week..

1. I forgot to have the invitation for the closing mass of The Parish Anniversary signed by The Parish Priest.

2. I had to do them all over again after he signed them.

3. One of the guest calls me today during lunch to ask "what time is the mass, it wasn't in the letter" For fuck's sake, I forgot to write the &$?*$# time. Unbelievable! I forgot the fucking time? Can't believe it!

4. I spend the afternoon calling these 31 priests, 2 of them are very angry because of X events in the past and let me know how we suck. Whatever!!!

5. I schedule with the local television the taping of the Closing Mass for The Parish Anniversary. The girl in charge of the contracts emails me this morning "I got the OK to use X amount left from your budget, All is good, we will be there to film." Er I come home to an email from her where she "apologizes but DOESN'T have the OK so this isn't over, someone needs to okay this." Who? What the hell? Huh, I'm the one who deals with you, can't I OKAY IT? it is our money, for fucks's sake.

6. Annoying Liturgy Lady cussed at me Monday and I played her game and told her "go see TFB, as you can see I'm with visitors and what you ask is not doable", I once again played her game.

7. I met a cute guy who works on the cruise ship and forget to ask him his email addy.

8. I could have taken his picture.

9. On Monday night, I went to be early, the phone rang at 21h30, it was The Historian. I wasn't able to get back to sleep before 1 AM. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!!

10. I'm PMSing , I'm moody and cranky

11. Because of this crazy week, my final paper isn't done at all. I have 1 week left. This sucks!!!

12. When TFB and I looked tru the books to order pious and devotional items, I took the number but didn't write down the page. We had to do it twice.

13. I didn't write the prices correctly, when I called the lady (she was awesome BTW), I had to pick other items because those I had chosen were by item instead of by pack. (instead of 12 pins for 5$ it was 5$ a pin)


I need to be held, I need a hug. I want to cry, it's like nothing I do this week (except for the cruise ships) sucks. It's like I just shouldn't bother to do anything. Tell me we all have weeks like this. I'm sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.
