I watched the first episode of Project Runway Threads last night. It was even worse than I was expecting, and I'm a little ashamed that I watched the whole thing.
So you know those passenger shaming sites that show people doing gross stuff on airplanes? There's a woman at my gate walking around barefoot. If she's already barefoot in the airport, I can't imagine what she's going to do once we're on the plane. Please please let her not be sitting next to me!
Also, I'm totally going to check the seat for pee before I sit down lol
I just got done with another interview. I use to work for them so I think that helps and hopefully my explanations for why I left was good enough. I'm not 100% sure if I want to go back yet but I'll make that decision when/if I even get an offer. The position I had before was low low level and I dreaded going in everyday because I never felt like I was doing anything important. This job is in corporate, is so much more interesting, aligns with my undergrad studies and has some similarities to my current background (market risk vs liquidity risk). I'm supposed to interview with someone else that is actually in the city I would be working in next week so we'll see how that one goes.
@blissoff - The waiting is killing me too. It's been 6 weeks since my dream job interview and they said they hope to make a decision by the end of the year. I hope they decide before I commit to another job. Spending my days researching and writing papers would be amazing.
@rennido - Sometimes kind words from a stranger is what someone needs to brighten their day.

I found out today that my 7 year old has to have surgery for her congenital scoliosis. We knew it was coming, but knowing that it will be happening soon is nerve-wracking. They are going to insert a rod into her spine, and she will wear a brace for about six months. I know this is the norm, but it's MY baby, and of course I'm worried. She won't be able to do gymnastics for about six months and then will have limited activity during PE (not sure how limited though). The doctor doesn't know if he will have to fuse the vertebrae that's causing all the problems or not, but it won't be for awhile.
I am making pumpkin bread. I plan on making 6-8 loaves of it today.
Banana bread will happen later today.
I am also trying to de-funkify a borrowed 5 gallon igloo drink cooler. Someone left hot chocolate in it, and it now smells a little weird inside. I bleached it yesterday, and that didn't do it. So after a _very_ extensive rinsing, I'm trying a white vinegar soak today. I hope this works. It's going to be cold tomorrow morning, and I want to be able to give folks some hot chocolate...
Calvin is traveling a lot for work this month (which is unusual) and I'm so over it. We're TTC, and one of his (5 day) trips made for some crazy logistics trying to time things well. We did manage to, and now I'm 6 dpo, a few days out from being able to test. I'm feeling what I might be imagining to be unusual symptoms, but I can't talk to anybody about it besides the dogs because he is not here. I'm feeling unusually emotional and more than a little crazy.

I hope that everything goes smoothly for her! My nephew recently had surgery to have a MAGEC rod put into his back - he's 2. Was definitely stressful for everyone but everything went really well. I hope that it goes as well for your daughter!
