The last couple of days have been a whirlwind with two job interviews and my first day at the new job (yes, FINALLY for those keeping track). I stopped by the grocery store on my way home -- all spiffy from the day's events. I headed straight for the apples and noticed that a guy in line was looking. Then he got out of line and was in the produce section -- I figured he forgot something as he was headed for the apples and gave me a big smile. Well, right after as I was looking down at the spinach, I realized that my "apples" were, well, how should I say this...showing? Yep, all dressed up in my lovely suit with an oh so very important button undone. I guess it explained the over the top smile the man gave me.
And then as I was leaving, the giggles set in. There was an old woman playing the recorder and singing her heart out to "Don't worry be happy" by Bob Marley. LEB can appreciate this -- we agree that the recorder is one musical instruement that is just so under utilized. If I don't get a job, I'm going to join her band as the triangle-ist. With all the bad news with the economy, I like to think of alternative job options -- the possibilities are really endless.
Now for the serious update...the interviews went well I think. At the very least, I did some great prep work for them and interviews from here on should be a lot easier. I have a huge deadline for the thesis today -- notice I'm procrastinating? I won't go into the details, but basically my data is still not all in one file and my advisor suggested I do two different models today -- a bit of a change of plan, but one that he thinks will make it a better paper. Hate to break it to him, but there is a point in all of this where you really don't care about the quality -- you just want to be done. But he's right, and I'll power through it -- only 2 months and one week to go. Wowzers.

Oi! sharing your apples with the world! Perhaps that would improve your chances in a job interview? and wow more job interviews! congrats! you are on a roll.
How is the new job? You are supposed to like it, then love it, then stick around so that we can have lunch everyday in "my" building (even though I will be working a couple blocks away). Yes, that is the plan, now stick to it. And good luck with the writing. I have to really push on this internship report... am thinking of finishing it off in Bali? Perhaps the scenery will be inspiring... I'm sure it will be my best writing ever!
i can completely understand your wanting to be done! when i was finishing my final paper, i just wanted to be done so badly that i really didn't care if it was my best work...i think i ended up with something in between! hang in there girl...if you do the best you can, you will be so proud of yourself later!
what's that they say about the journey and not the destination? yeah, well, load of crap for writing a thesis. in my experience there's nothing better than "done" whether it's a masterpiece or not. tough it out chiquita, the end is in sight!
You should have shared your apples also with us tiff.....
