You're welcome. Is your FMIL always this strong willed?

Hey ladies, I just submitted an application for a job I *really* want. It pays well (at least for a person still finishing their master's and enough to buy coach now and then

) and is a state job, but still in the field I very much want to work. Wish me luck please! Job starts on Aug. 10th so I feel like I will hear soonish.

OK Bag Lady · Jul 8th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Good Luck, Jenna! I'm sure you've already been told this, but be sure to send them a thank you card/letter after you're interviewed. That will make you stand out even more.

jennalovesbags · Jul 8th, 2009, 09:35 AM

Thanks, Judy! Just hoping I make it that far.

It's hard to make something you're really passionate about stand out on paper, and I feel as though I am a good interviewer.

Don't put her through this!" He went on to say that yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary of his father's funeral and he's barely been able to keep it together during his dad's funeral, and he knew it had to be nearly impossible for her to stand up there. He wasn't putting them down for having her speak, just emotionally identifying with her pain.

I don't, but it was painful seeing her speak. Since I only saw clips from the news, I saw her like 10 times this morning. I was wondering who made the decision to have her speak. If she really wanted to, that is understandable.

Usually. Her and my mom (who has surprisingly been MIA so far for the wedding planning). Unfortunately unavoidable.

Good Luck! Sounds like a great opportunity! That starts really soon! At least there won't be a lot of that horrible waiting to hear back which I find to be the worst when it just drags out.

Thanks, CZ. Good luck with your MIL. With all the stories I hear about wedding planning lately, it's amazing that more people don't elope. I'm sure everything will work out though

Ugh I just got off the phone with one of my tenants who wants me to lower their rent because the new neighbors pay less than them. They have a 3 bedroom 2 bath and the neighbors have a 2 bedroom 1 bath. Yeah their rent is going to be cheaper, their house is SMALLER!!

kattykay · Jul 9th, 2009, 09:14 PM

nvm, just testing something

Are the people in my Avatar & signature who you are talking about?
If so, it's Edward & Bella from the Movie Twilight. If you haven't seen it yet, I HIGHLY recommend it!

Is this thread going to evolve into a Twilght chat?? I'm in!

Coach10619 · Jul 12th, 2009, 07:00 AM

I definately have NO problem with twilight chat, especially when it envolves Edward

!!! But, unfortunately, I think there are plenty of threads on twilight throughout Tpf so, I don't think the Mods would allow it to go on here too long without merging it with another thread.
