Pants on Fire

I called in sick to my temp job yesterday to go on an interview. I am not supposed to interview on work time, but they didn't have anything else available.  It's for a position in my old field - the one I really want to get out of. But the pay is good, really good. If I get it I'd be working half the hours and making almost twice as much weekly as I do now.  And if they give me the shift I want, I 'd only be working M-Th (when the BF is the busiest or away) and in the evening leaving me time during they day to focus on freelance or working out, or interviewing for positions in the field I'd like to transition in.

The lousy thing is I think I blew a couple of questions. The BF says I didn't because you don't get turned down for a job for being over ambitious.  And it's not that I am even that ambitious, but my last job in this field had way more responsibility than the one I applied for.  The other unfortunate thing, because I want the part time job so bad I told them I would be willing to take the second available shift which is the middle of the day and 5 days a week (including a couple of saturdays).  I could still see the BF since it's early out on Saturdays, but there are other things I wanted to do with my days. Like start volunteering at an animal shelter. They have clinic volunteers that don't need any clinic experience but it only runs during the day Tues and Thurs, or I could fast track to an adoption advisor if I am able to come in more than just once a month.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that #1 they offer me the job. and #2 they offer me the shift I want.

Other than that, I am getting fat. I love how accurate my scale is, but I hate that my will power blows so much that I am 126.6 right now.  I have been on a carb kick lately. I can't get enough of bagels and muffins and crusty sub bread (not the actual sandwich, just the bread).  It's bad. Very very bad.  And I have taken to snacking at my desk even when I take a late lunch I'll end up munching at 3pm at my desk.

My mom visited my new place and I think she liked it at I don't think she thought it was dump or anything (it's not - but it's not shiny and new either, it's "vintage" and has some cracks and stuff). But she brought me a huge container of cashews (my fave nut) and chocolate covered dried pomegranates. They are candy crack. I thought Chewy Lemonheads were addictive. These are 10x worse because you think they're similar to fruit. But they're not, they're chewy chocolaty sugar bombs. No wonder I'm gaining weight.

In better news the BF and are doing great. He told me that the group shot photo with his X in it will not be going up on his wall. When he gets ready to hang the frame he'll pick out a new photo. And I have managed to keep all my irritation in check - mostly because there hasn't been much. And what little there was I was able to stop breathe and really think about my reaction. Then I picked a different one.  So, yeah, our time together has been way more pleasant lately than it has in a while.
