Oh God, I want this.

I have a job interview tomorrow. It's a phone interview, so I haven't really been giving it as much thought as I would to something where I'd have to pull a pair of dress slacks up over my fat hips and drive to a corporate office.

I responded to a Craigslist posting a few weeks ago for a job that seemed too good to be true - it fit my professional needs exactly. It's a writing position that would require me to only go into the office for meetings, to turn in assignments, and so on. I would be employed by a company on the west coast and contracted out to a [large] local corporation to create document copy.

Because I have issues with not wanting to put Roland in day care just yet (or ever), it seems like one of those opportunities that makes your mouth water with desire. If I have to work (which I admit I do), this is the way I want to do it. I could work comfortably in my paint-stained sweatpants and hire a part-time babysitter/mom's helper for the days I really need to crank.

I honestly never thought I'd hear from them because I a) was honest about how much money I need, and b) I chose to reveal that I have a small child that would benefit from having a parent work from home. Hope comes when you least expect it, I suppose.

The phone interview is supposed to occur at around lunchtime tomorrow, and though I feel confident right now, I'll probably wake up with a lump in my throat and doubting my strengths as a potential team member. The best thing I can plan to do at this point is to have a glass of wine with my lunch to take the edge off my nerves and to loosen me up so that I can get over my aversion to chattiness.

Send some good vibes my way. Baby needs a new pair of shoes. And momma needs a haircut.

Good luck. You're awesome.

Would this mean Roscoe gets the superhero boots?

Good luck with your 'view Tiffany! Considering your employment roots, you shouldn't be too nervous about this one at all. After all, you can only go up from here, eh?

Congrats on stickin' to your guns & scorin' a 'view!

Update, please.

Thanks!
