Can't sleep. It's been a really weird week, and then to top it all off I haven't been able to settle down since sometime this afternoon.
A lot has been happening. About a month's worth in just a week.
First, I got nasty sick. Not sick with a cold, or a sinus infection, or bronchitis like everyone else around me. Nope. I had a reoccurance of Ardith's Nasty Fatigue Whatchamacallit. Still undiagnosed, due to its completely random nature and lack of substantive symptoms, but most unpleasant, and somewhat scary at times.
But enough of that. See, last Tuesday I got a call from a guy at Rockwell Collins, and had a 15-minute telephone interview. Shortly followed up the next day by arrangements being made to fly me up to Cedar Rapids this weekend for more interviews. This position I'm being considered for is a result of the interview I had last semester during the career fair.
But that's not all.
This afternoon, I had another phone interview for another position at Rockwell Collins. This one was a result of a reference from a friend of mine, and involved asking me if I would be OK with getting a security clearance.
*grins evilly*
And so, I'm very likely going to have interviews for that position as well this weekend. I fly up Thursday evening, have interviews on Friday and maybe Saturday morning, and fly back Saturday afternoon.
Despite the lack of exclamation points, I'm incredibly excited. This is all falling in line with my Best Possible Scenario wishes for the near future, and I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. And amazingly enough, it's not a train bearing down on me. It's actual sunshine.
Then, just for fun, I spent a little time looking at apartment prices in Cedar Rapids, and I came to an amazing conclusion.
Once I have a job, I'm actually going to have money. Not just enough to tide me over, not just enough for what I need, but enough for a lot of the things I want and some to save for later.
And that's just really weird.
But I'm going to stop counting chickens for a few weeks now, and try and settle down and get some sleep. I have a presentation to give and a committee meeting to attend tomorrow.
