So.
For whatever reason, I haven't been able to post on my blog. Perhaps I should give a shoutout to Blogger for being a pain in my ass. So, I'm getting settle d back in after visiting my old hometown. Slowly recovering from the whole shock of that mess.
Yesterday I had an interview. First, just let me say, I have to be the weirdest person alive. Anytime I DON"T want a job that I'm interviewing for, 9 times out of 10, I end up getting it. And, when I WANT the job I'm interviewing for, I usually don't get it. Anyway, so this interview was for an Executive Assistant for 2 VP's. Anyway, I wear a suit and go to my interview. The lady I interviewed with was really kind of a bitch to me. I guess bitch isn't the right word. Condescending. So, during the interview, I had decided to myself that I didn't want this job. So, the interview gets over. Oh, did I mention that the lady I interviewed with was fat and had warts all over her face? And, when she got up to leave, she knocked the table over. But, that's besides the point, right? Anyway, I get home, and get a call from my agency that they want a second interview me. I say no. They tell me again they want to meet with me and I'm the only one they're looking at. So, I give in and say yes. Well, as I'm getting off the phone, I'm told "so, I know you wore a suit today and and all, but for some reason, all the women there wear skirts, and they want you to wear a skirt tomorrow." I say "um. WHAT?" And she repeats herself. I say no. I'm not wearing a skirt just because they told me to. First of all, all the men there had on suits. Now, I did notice that all the women ADMINS had on little cute skirts. And, I did think that was a little strange, but I figured it was like..skirt day or something. I dunno. Anyway, I don't know why that infuriated me so much, but it did. I think it's a bunch of crap. So, that pretty much put the nail in the coffin for that job. Besides that, I'm leaving for vacation next week so it wouldn't have worked out anyway. So, I called the lady back and reminded her of my vacation and that was the end of that. What are your thoughts on the whole ladies have to wear a skirt thing? Am I just crazy or is that not weird?
Speaking of vaca. we are now going to Puerto Plata instead of Punta Cana. Apparently, our resort in Punta Cana was damaged by Tropical Storm Jeanne and it's closed. So, we got it changed over. They only problem we had was with Priceline and getting our flight switched. Chris finally got it worked out, but it ended up costing us $268. So, it's straightened out and I'm not even going to think about the fact that we had to pay extra. I guess we're even lucky that Priceline let us switch.
I'm in the middle of making some chocolate croissants so I can take some pictures for my new webpage. I finally found someone to help me out with it. He had told me he didn't have time a few weeks ago, but I begged him and he eventually caved. He's such a nice guy.
I'm gettin a lot of response with my cookie business too. I can't wait to get my website up! I'm also in the process of putting together a little 'package' for the Holidays that people can order as gifts. I already have a insurance company in Michigan who's going to order a huge order of these holiday gifts. So, I'm excited about that!
Well, that's about it for now. It's such a beautiful day outside. Yesterday I opened all the windows and it just felt so nice. Today though, it's a little warm and I'm kinda thinking of turning the A/C back on. But, I dunno.
Maybe I'll post some more tonight. I really need to go finish my croissants. I'm sure they've risen enough by now. Ciao!

As long as you were dressed appropriately, and it seems you were, there should be no problem. I think it was very unprofessional of them to ask you to wear a skirt and really a bit sexist. What was the point...to check out your legs??? Creepy. Michelle
Dana - Good for you! Tell them to kiss your a$$! :) That is totally sexist, and yeah, I think they just wanted to see if you had decent legs I'm sure. Lame. I'm glad you told them to shove. Maybe employers will get the hint - just because the economy is in the dumps, and jobs are hard to find, we aren't going to jump at every little whim! Can't wait to see the new web site. - Mark Z. - http://slappedstupid.com
