I received a call for an interview this morning and am collecting the necessary written references. The position is with the provincial government and looks pretty interesting.<\/p>\n
Always the fashion diva – Ok, you can stop laughing now.\u00a0 I mean it. Fine.\u00a0 Get it out of your system.\u00a0 Done? Are you sure? *sigh* Go ahead. Laugh it up for a few more minutes. Can we get back to my story now?<\/em> – I’m waffling on what to wear to the upcoming interview. I’m not certain I want to wear the severe<\/span> classic black suit I wore the last time round. Perhaps I’ll take a look around the mall(s) this weekend to see if I can find a nice brown suit instead.<\/p>\n Last time I was job hunting I did very poorly on interviews where I really wanted the job and seemed to breeze through interviews for positions I wasn’t interested in. Apparently all I need to do is convince myself that I’m NOT interested in this job and I should muddle through the interview in fine form.<\/p>\n I also received a call that my new glasses are ready and I can pick them up this evening. Oh, did I forget to mention I’m getting new glasses?\u00a0 I got tired of not being able to see and finally broke down and got my eyes tested last week.\u00a0 I hadn’t been paying too much attention to the degradation of my eye sight. Sure, in the back of my mind I knew it was getting harder and harder to see when I wasn’t wearing my glasses. So I started wearing them full-time<\/span> whenever I wasn’t at a computer or reading a book. According to my optometrist I’m supposed to wear them all the time anywho.\u00a0 And I’ve always had the “must wear corrective lenses” restriction on my driver’s license.<\/p>\n When the call came in I was pretty surprised. I wasn’t expecting them to be ready for at least another week. Downside of having a very weird prescription that gets sent to a lab in Montreal to be filled is that you often wait multiple weeks before your new glasses are available to you.<\/p>\n Soon<\/span> This evening I will be able to see properly. I still can’t believe I dropped a whole point level over the past 2+ years. Everyone keeps telling me that your eyes don’t change that much at my age.\u00a0 Granted it does explain why I can’t watch my 52in TV in the basement, walk down a hallway un-escourted by my seeing eye co-worker<\/em>, or do anything that involves avoiding walking into walls without my current glasses.\u00a0 It also explains why I’ve been having so much difficulty seeing properly when I’m actually wearing my existing pair.<\/p>\n Friday I visit the Dr. to discover the results of the tests I had a few weeks back. I’m hoping it’s all good news.<\/p>\n Keep your eyes,<\/span> fingers and toes crossed. I can use all the luck people are willing to spare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I received a call for an interview this morning and am collecting the necessary written references.
