Today is a bit of an oops day. First I didn’t go to the exercise class today since I had so go on the mail run and they overlaped. Also I was scheduled for a phone interview today for a library in Virginia. I wrote down that it was 1:15 Central time when it was 1:15 Eastern time. So I missed the interview and got a phone call in which the interviewer guessed my mistake and asked me to call back to reschedule. :blushes: Um, he also didn’t hang up his phone like he thought so I got to listen to the panel in the background. One of the comments was ‘or don’t call back’ in a sort of snotty voice, but that’s understandable. I mean who wants to hire someone who can’t remember to adjust for time differences. Oh well. I did call them back and left a message. I’m not sure I even want this one since its a Head of Reference position and nowhere was this indicated on the announcement. Weird, but I feel woefully underqualified for it. I know I’ve already got a preliminary offer, but I know it would be stupid to halt my job search for a preliminary offer so I continue to apply and interview. I have another one on Friday at 1 EST, 12 CST (No I will not forget again.) lol. You have to laugh, right?
So there’s a rumor here at work that I got this guy fired. He was fired on Friday and one of the guys cme up to me yesterday and asked me about it. I had no idea what he was talking about. This guy had left candy on my desk for a week before asking me out. I said I’d think about it (I don’t think well on my feet and a little while before, a friend was telling me I should just go out with him since he obviously liked me even if I wasn’t interested. So he hung out around me for 2 days before I got the nerve to tell him I wasn’t interested and it was fine. I mean, he did approach me in the mail room on Thursday and say “I’ve finally got you alone.” He didn’t say it like he was joking either. I laughed nervously and sidled out of there. The next day I didn’t see him and that was weird because I did usually see him a few times a day and then I heard he was fired. I just figured it was a performance thing. :shrugs: But now there is a rumor that he was let go because he was stalking me. I’m not sure if I should ask someone since he certianly wasn’t stalking me and didn’t make me feel any more uncomfortable than any time you turn down a coworker for a date. Should I just let it go? I do feel guilty since I won’t be here muchy longer if the Pasadena job pans out and this guy did lose his job, but maybe someone simply noticed him following me around and put their own spin on his dismissal. You know how rumors are. Botheration. Now I feel self conscious whenever I go back to the work area. You know the weird thing is that the guy who told be about the rumor asked me where my glasses were since I was wearing my contacts and told me he really has a thing for glasses. Now this guy is kinda cute and around my own age, so if he’d asked me out I might have said yes. I guess rumors that I got some poor guy fired doesn’t stop other guys from flirting. I was still a bit flumaxed by the rumor revelation, so I didn’t really respond to the flirting.
Coworker firings aside, I do enjoy working around all these men. Some good eye candy and more insight into the male brain. Most of my jobs have been in predominantly female offices, so this is a revelation. I’ll miss it when I get back into a library.
I had Taco Bell for lunch since I thought I would be interviewing during lunch and picked it up during the mail run. No such luck and I had some salad makings and a Healthy Choice in the fridge.
I got some good stuff at Walmart yesterday, including these cute pink and white gloves, a pink yoga mat, and some exercise bands. Oh, and a npair of capri pants and tshirt hoodie and bags so I can take Luna on a walk. I also foud out that someone dropped the retractable leash and there’s a huge chip out of it. That’s a $25 leash too 
Oh well, I’ll live with it.
