A delicious dinner with an appetizer of job disappointment

OK, OK I am a loser….NO second interview. BOOOOOO! Dammit I really wanted that job and I thought the interview went well. Only thing that sucked was that their was only one position and like 20 applicants. Should have fucked both interviewers, maybe then I would have gotten it, hehe.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with job hunting because it is a never ending vicious cycle. You have to have experience but how do you get experience when no one hires you if you are new to the field. I had this problem out of grad school….you don’t have enough experience..Uhhh yeah I had to get that masters you wanted but apparently I was supposed to be working full time as well. I am not too depressed just more bummed. I learned right out of graduate school how to not get myself stressed over lost jobs, just keep truckin. (What the hell did I just say truckin…must be influences from going to school in PA)

Only saving grace last night was S. he made the most amazing dinner last night since we had another couple over last night. Very adult party with appetizers, wine and discussion. I think I can get used to this…so I thought I would show you how amazing S is at his current profession (sous chef).

He made a stacked, layered side which had sweet potatoes, butternut squash, sautéed peaches with a layer of gorgonzola cheese on top. (So fucking good I almost had an orgasm at the table. He prepared rack of lamb with a fig chutney sauce on the side which he cooked perfectly. S is so great at presentation and I love receiving it. I am not a horrible cook but S. definitely kicks my ass in the kitchen and he always makes my coworkers green with envy when I bring leftovers to work.


See the layered side, you have no idea how fucking delicious it was!


I think my new favorite meat is lamb (luckily he gets it for free or cheap because apparently the rack he bought would have cost us 90 DOLLARS, crazy why would any meat cost that much, who know but I love it.

Back to the job search and pretending to enjoy my job.

So busy

I have been insanely busy at work while trying to secure a new job. I have a interveiw next week but we also have an Audit so I am trying to figure out a great lie for my boss, while trying to study for the interview. I also got a response back from another company located in San Diego. My job would still be in the Northeasy but training there would be cool (never been to Cali). I have been spending alot of time on the internet looking at other companies, putting out resume after resume in hopes of a career change. So I have been neglecting my blogger, my outlet, my sanity. I will update more stories at lunch but for now back to the corporate slavery I love!

Amazing day yesterday...

Whooo hooo I had the day off yesterday (uhh I was sick, yeahh right) and that interview for a new job. Can I tell you I ROCKED the interview. I will be surprised if I don't get the job because I was the perfect candidate not only in my education background but my current job experience, plus sleeping with the president never hurts, hehehe JK. Hopefully getting this job will mean more responsibility and about a 10 to 12 thousand dollar raise which we desperately need since we own a condo and we have to save like 18 thousand dollars in 8-9 months (can we say other job opportunities like stripping and prostitution sound good right now). I have also signed on for bartending/waitressing catering jobs to help make more money. Hey I figure who needs a social life right, hehe! I keep saying it over and over, ONLY one year of misery, only one year!

So I get home from the three hour interview which I rocked and stopped by S. work to share the good news and he was able to get out of work early. So I go home to our condo (can I tell you how great it feels to say that) and the front door was bolt locked. S. opens the door in his t-shirt and that is it! Hahaha I interrupted his Jerk off session, hehe! Which turned out to be great because I wanted to jump his bones right there? We christened the dining room table and it was fabulous! We were both on cloud nine when we started discussing the floating shelves he was going to make this weekend for the condo. It was so adorable how excited he was about making them. Sometimes S. totally amazes me and reminds me why I am in love with him and want to spend the rest of my life with him (yes I am corny).

Well back to work and hopefully a call for a new job and a raise will come in the next couple of weeks....
