It’s almost 6pm, and I’m exhausted! I didn’t sleep well last night. I finally passed out around 2:15am. I couldn’t get out of bed til after 10am. Not good. The cats were pissed!
After breakfast and some job hunting, I jogged 2 miles on the elliptical, which was great! Lyse & I then called my grandma to wish her a happy birthday. She’s 79 today. She’s not feeling well. I wish I could fly to FL to visit her.
At 2pm, I had an interview with a staffing agency. Ugh! They made me take those MS Office and typing tests. No shortcuts or right-clicking allowed! Not remembering where certain tasks were filed, I had to click on a few menus first… nope, not allowed. “INCORRECT” Bah! I still passed, but not with my normal 99%. Once I finally got to meet with the Manager, she rushed me through the interview to take a call from a candidate. I had less than 2 minutes with her, in which she told me she pretty much ONLY gets Exec Assistant positions. Overall, I felt like it was a waste of time, but who knows. I’ll still call in twice a week to see if there are any Project Management positions.
Once home, I did some job hunting, talked to my old boss, Bob, from Disney Stores, and ended up falling asleep for 20 minutes during Lou Dobbs Tonight.
Right now, I’m just sitting here, at the computer, in front of the TV. Larry King is interviewing Priscilla Presley. It’s amazing that people still talk about Elvis so much these days. 30+ years after I’m dead, I don’t think anyone will remember me at all. I was the first Town Clerk of Southwest Ranches, FL; but, who remembers staff? Most people remember Council members with memorials and things, but not staff.
I think I’ll watch “The Other Boleyn Girl” tonight. I’ve been wanting to see it, and I’m not in the mood to edit pix or go anywhere. I’m in a good mood, just tired.
I’m looking forward to my interview tomorrow! I hope they offer me the job tomorrow night and pay me what I want! Send good thoughts!
John & I left Glendale on Saturday at 11am, driving across the 14 to 395. We stopped for lunch in Mojave at the Smokehouse Cafe. It was a bit greasy, but ok. The sun was shining, but we could see rain nearby. The temperatures were dropping, but that didn’t bother me. When we left the diner, we noticed an odd car parked next to ours. It was full of trash! The only room to sit was the driver’s seat. I think the man at the bar counter inside the restaurant was the owner. I only saw him from the back. He had a very wrinkly tan hand; and, when a fly landed on it, he didn’t shake it off. Very odd.
We drove up to Bishop, where we got a hotel for the night. We stayed at the Best Western Creekside. Great hotel! I would highly recommend it! We walked over to the nearby Japanese restaurant for dinner. It was about 30 degrees out. My vegetarian sushi was good. The hotel was so comfy. It was a good spot to stop on the way!
In the morning, we had Deluxe Continental Breakfast at the hotel, then headed out towards Tahoe. The weather kept dropping, especially over 6,000 feet. We stopped at Crowley Lake for gasoline, then in some cute little town for a late lunch at Rhino’s Bar & Grille in Bridgeport. My grilled cheese was ok, but it was a really cool place. If I lived there, I’d go for drinks at this bar!
Once we turned onto 207, we started to rise in elevation again. That’s when we encountered some snow. It was light and drivable. It got a bit stronger as we got into Tahoe. We checked in at 3pm, then went to Railey’s for groceries. Glad we got back to the room before the snow really came down! My car was covered in no time! 
At 7pm, we went to the Solarium for the Welcome Meeting. We were the only guests there, but enjoyed talking to Alaina about Tahoe. We hung out there for a bit, then came back to the room and relaxed.
