Half Full Friday

Eyegirl has opted to take her blog private due to a personal situation so you can't link to Half Full Friday anymore but that doesn't mean you can't still play along! 

~I'm happy because...

We've had beautiful weather all week!

I went to a salon open house with some friends and got all kinds of free samples last night!

I got my Chico messenger bag in the mail from Katie's live giveaway!

I finally got around to going grocery shopping!

I got a Halloween gingerbread house kit for free!  Yes, a Halloween gingerbread house kit!

My friend rented Sex and the City 2 and invited me to watch it with her!

Yesterday I was supposed to have an interview.  Everyone seemed to feel kind of sketchy about it because the job site was supposedly in my hometown but I'd have to drive about 75 miles to another town to do the interview because that was their homebase.  I was fine with it because I need a job.  Until I started asking around and no one seemed to know where this business was in town!  But I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt because someone who works at the place I volunteer at knew all about this particular company and what they do.  She didn't know where they were located either though.  I told myself that maybe they just didn't have the jobsite set up here yet and were in the process of doing that now.

Yesterday morning I volunteered as usual, then came home and took a shower.  When I was blow-drying my hair, my phone rang only I didn't hear it.  Luckily, I happened to walk into the kitchen for a drink and noticed that my caller ID was flashing.  The company I was to interview with had called but didn't leave a message so I called them back.  I thought maybe they were just going to confirm my interview with them or something.  Seems they'd already hired someone for the job.  Why do employers hire someone before they've interviewed all the candidates?!  I will never understand that because maybe that next person was they'll interview will be a better fit or have even more experience.

Anyway, at the end of the conversation, she said that because I lived in another town, it wasn't like she could just call me up and have me come in right away.  That made me think the job wasn't in town after all but I didn't question her about it.  Instead, I questioned myself wondering how I could've missed that the job was actually in the other town.  After we hung up, I checked the job posting again and it clearly stated that the job was here!

Yet another sign to tell me that school is where I'm meant to be...

If you decide to join in, you don't have to send everyone on the list a card.  You can only send one to those you know if you want to.  For those who are environmentally conscious, you don't have to send out an actual card -- an e-card will do!  However, you'll still need to send all of your information in order to be included.

No Blog of the Week this week, sorry!  I had planned to use Eyegirl's blog but due to personal circumstances, she opted to make her blog private.  I would hate to tell you all about her fabulosity and then you not be able to access her blog.  I was too lazy busy to look for another blog to use so I'll be back next week with a different one.
