I set my alarm for 9am this morning so I could wake up, get my brain together, and be ready for 10am. I remember the alarm going off once and hitting the snooze button. Well, I wake up and check the time, and it's 9:39. I jump up, saying "oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap!" over and over again while I'm looking for my pants. It's then that I realise I don't have to BE anywhere, or even be dressed, so I relax a bit. Grab the phone and a notebook and put them in front of the computer, bring up my resume on the screen, and sit there. I stare at the phone and wait... and wait... until about 10 after 10 when it rings. Slowly, I pick it up and it begins.
It actually ended up going pretty well. They want me to come in for an assessment test, which is an hour and a half of computer simulation goodness. Problem is I have to figure out how to get up there for that, since I won't have a car. If I wait until late next week, I can just rent the car early for our trip and drive that up. There's still the anxiety of whether my car will make it out there in the first place. If I have no car, I'm pretty much screwed on that job. That's why I'm still holding out hope for finding something in town and near a bus route. But if I keep worrying, I'm going to end up shooting myself in the foot somehow.
So, where I'm at now: I'm about half-packed for my trip, got one interview lined up (though I have to figure out how I can get there, and when I'll be able to do it and get back to them), and I'm sitting here with about 39 hours to go not getting anything accomplished. Awesome. OH! And let's not forget someone has swung back to the other side of rationality. It's been quite a ride today. Just looking forward to getting out of town and having some fun. Also looking forward to hopefully having some more interviews, so I can justify this whole trip to the person who thinks I'm trying to "have my cake and eat it too".
Well, I should get that sewing project I promised to do, done. I'm not sure why I seem to think I'm much more awesome than I actually am, or that I can do everything at the last minute. I procrastinate too damn much.
