2nd Interview & Odds 'n' Ends

Had the second interview a little while ago, and I think I did well.  It is really creepy having it on the phone b/c I can't see the person and read body language to see how I'm doing.  The account manager was a district manager with Anne Taylor for years, so it was nice being able to use retail shorthand with him.  I was honest in the interview and thanked them for giving me the opportunity.  We'll see how it goes.  Either way I'm fine with the outcome b/c it wasn't something I planned to do in the first place, but my TL recommended me so I felt I should at least participate.

Watched most of Bandits last night with Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton.  It made me laugh out loud while Rob was sleeping next to me a few times, and then I fell asleep near the end so I'll have to watch the rest tonight.  It was, however, nervewracking how much Bruce Willis' character looked like Joe Davis, even down to the smirk.  I'd never really noticed the resemblence before, frankly, but it is absolutely there.  I loved BBT's part - he made me laugh repeatedly with describing his medical ailments and talking about Cate Blanchett's character b/c she's seriously crazy.  I'll be interested to see how it ends.  We also got the 2 DVD's of Eleventh Hour, a mystery/paranormal BBC miniseries with Patrick Stewart.  Should be good!  Primeval was outstanding, btw, if you are thinking of renting it.  I can't wait for the 3rd season to come out, but be warned, they have no compunction about killing off main characters without warning.

Today is my day off and I need to clean the bedroom and office carpets b/c we have a pee-aiming problem with the pee pads, and do general cleaning around the entire house.  Also need to make a menu for the next 2 weeks and convince Rob to go to Kroger when he gets home b/c we are completely out of food which is bad for your budget and your waistline.

Matteo is getting more and more impossible to medicate with his ear drops.  He actually started screaming when we had him pinned down to do it last night and his claws are like some bad slasher movie, flailing all around.  Willow doesn't care as long as she gets a treat, and Bart was so upset after he got his that he wouldn't come and cowered and wouldn't take a treat.  Nearly broke Rob's heart.  Monster is eating his pill pocket medicine without fail, so that's a blessing.

I am certain that you were excellent in the interview.

I hope the poot dogs are better able to handle the trauma of treatment better - how long do you have to do it?

btw, do you know if you can do netflix with a post office box?

[bryarly]

I believe you can - I checked the site and don't see anything on there that says you can't. I love it - we can watch things we'd never otherwise see, especially TV shows, b/c we'd never buy them on DVD. I have the 3 at a time unlimited as we like to watch a lot of series stuff so one at a time would take forever.

I will check that out in a couple of weeks - it would be nice to see things that we don't get on our skeletal version of comcast - which is pretty near everything other than basic network stuff. I don't have Showtime so no Weeds or Nurse Jackie. Californication is done, I think, but it was funny sometimes, too.

Maddy goes into her box now when she has had enough packing and interruptions - it's kind of cute/sad. At least she has a place to go, I don't.

We've never had the premium channels and gotten along just fine with the basic package that includes discovery stuff, TLC stuff and ESPN stuff. I really like Netflix, though.

[paige]

That's because you never got to watch Weeds. It's Charles Village with Starbucks and cellphones.

How is every one doing with their medications?

We had week off from Matteo's 2xday but that starts again on the 17th. We have to do all 4 tonight so that should be super fun.
