I've completed all but the darning in of ends and sewing up seams in a little baby surprise jacket. The funny thing, to me, was that I looked through all my adorable baby knitting patterns and then opted for the straightforward garter-stitch staple-- all in one piece, straightforward and fast. I'll show a picture here when it's all complete. I need to find adorable buttons, you know.
Yesterday my recruiter called me up to tell me that the company I had interviewed in person with had changed their mind. I was their best candidate and they decided to accommodate my requests. So, as of February 1, I will once again be a working woman. I was mostly relieved because I had three interviews scheduled for next week, and others in the works. I would much rather work than interview.
I'm very glad that Zach is here and that Sherlock has decided to be his buddy, because Sherlock has never been left alone all day long for more than a day every now and then. I just hope he doesn't start ignoring me again, nobody feels worse than when a puppy turns its back on them.
Posted by Sheila at January 27, 2006 11:11 AM Posted to | TrackBackCongratulations! I'm so pleased that things worked out. Isn't it great when that happens seemingly from out of the blue?
Sherlock will adjust, and so will you (that separation thing goes both ways, doesn't it?)
Posted by: Beth S. on January 27, 2006 11:47 AMCongratulations! I can feel your relief at not having to do more job interviews.
You just gotta love a short & sweet job hunt.
Posted by: LaurieM on January 27, 2006 12:06 PMCongratulations! When I worked, I would comment that I had lots more money to spend on my crafts, but not enough time to actually do them; and when I was not working, I had not as much money to spend, but lots of time for having fun! It is a fine balance we tread!
Posted by: Peg on January 27, 2006 01:19 PMOutstanding! Big congrats on the new job!
Posted by: Lolly on January 27, 2006 09:49 PMGreat news! No more interviews! :)
re: Sherlock - just sit him down and have a wee chat - tell him exactly what's going to happen. You'd be surprised how much they understand... and be sure to give him extra lovin', especially after the 1st. He'll be fine, but there will be some adjusting on his part. Yay for Zach - I'm glad he's not afraid to be seen with a little poodle.
Speaking of poodles, Ms. B had so much hair that I put her into a Historically Correct Continental last night. I heart those show-dog clips. Too bad my digicam is completely verklempt, or I'd post pics...
Posted by: Sravana on January 28, 2006 07:34 AMCongratulations.. so happy for you... hope you'll still have time and energy to let us know how it goes.
Posted by: noonie on January 28, 2006 08:27 AMCongratulations . . . you're so lucky to have a short and sweet job hunt. Would that I were so lucky . . . going into 3 months now with just one interview so far (which was clearly a job for a database administrator which I am not, and I'd passed on this when I read the ad, but recruiter insisted that I was so perfect for the job).
Posted by: Lola Lee Beno on January 30, 2006 02:35 AMThat's great news, Sheila. I hope you enjoy the job. It sounded like the folks there would be sympatico.
And I can't believe little Sherlock would be that fickle when it comes to his Mommy!
Posted by: Katie on January 30, 2006 02:24 PMWell boo hoo hoo. I'm afraid that I can't say "congratulations" because we (the QB's) will miss you very much. You DID tell them that you need a few hours on Tuesday's to come to quilting, didn't you?!?!?
Posted by: Liz A. on January 30, 2006 07:39 PMA belated congratulations, Sheila! Say, you gonna email me on the sly to let me know where you'll be working?
