Can it be?

by Donna on February 28, 2009

I met the owner at an Italian Restaurant. In his hands he held a manila folder. With very little fanfare (Where was the Mariachi band?) he opened the folder and handed me an offer letter. We went over it together and I had a few questions but nothing shot out at me [...]

Filling time

by Donna on February 27, 2009

I started getting ready at 7:30. I don’t need to leave until 10:30. Three hours is too much time to fill. I ate, I showered, I dressed, I powdered, I made-up, I rolled, I brushed, I scrubbed, I moisturized… And I have an hour left. This interview process has been [...]

My Sticker Book is now complete

by Donna on February 27, 2009

When I was a young girl I had a sticker book. It was actually a red photo album but rather than shove photos in it, I stuck stickers. My little schoolmates and I used to trade stickers on the playground during recess– 2 apple stickers for your Brainy Smurf– 4 kitty cat stickers [...]

Rolaids

Tomorrow I am going to have lunch with Mr. Hyper-Sensitive. Yes, I have decided to keep following this opportunity. Who knows. By the end of lunch I will either have a job or I will have dumped a glass of water on his head.

What an interesting conversation I had with the owner. Last week he said, “Send me a quick email just letting me know you took the evaluation.” When I finished the evaluation, I did just that. I sent him a real quick email telling him I finished the evaluation. You won’t believe [...]

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes

by Donna on February 24, 2009

I was over my parents’ house yesterday helping my dad with his computer. I opened donnaville in IE and I was really surprised to see how it was riddled with layout errors. The Wordpress theme I had been using was pretty old. I looked to see if there was an update to [...]

I watched most of the Oscars last night. That was not my intention. Last year I turned it on, caught Alec Baldwin’s smug face and had to turn it off. Quickly. Very quickly. Yesterday I had dinner at my parents’ and afterward my mom and I were sitting in the [...]

Over the weekend I watched the movie Hancock for a second time. It’s not that I loved it so much I had to watch it again but when I saw it the first time I knew pookie would love it so I watched it again with him. And truthfully, I really did enjoy [...]
