Job Power!

I got interviewed yesterday for a company looking to fill multiple positions. The positions were: accounting, customer service, and security. I strongly pushed my preference for the accounting position and worried that I had pushed too hard for a position that the supervisor didn't seem particularly interested in having me fill. I also got interviewed by all three supervisors for each position! I had a three-for-one whammy. And today, while I was at physical therapy, I got a phone call. I missed it (cause obviously I was busy), but when I checked my messages, it was the supervisor that didn't seem interested in me, asking me to call her back. So I did, and after identifying myself, she rather abruptly offered me the job. I was flustered, but I definitely learned my lesson last year not to hesitate (because they'll just turn to the runner-up), and said yes. I start next Tuesday at 8 am. So early! But I can do it. :<>

The major problem I'm going to have, is that my physical therapy clinic only seems to run during normal business hours. I'm working during normal business hours. Well, I'm screwed. I need to continue because otherwise I won't be getting the attention to my progress that I need, but I also need to be at the job, especially now while I'm not in school and rushing off to classes every day. I may have to switch to a clinic that offers hours I can attend.

So I'm worried about the travel, and about the time it takes to get from this job to my school, but for now I'm going to shelve the issue because it isn't relevant. They made note of it when I applied, so hopefully they can work with me on it.

We tried the Cheesy Garlic Bread brand by Lays recently. We also tried the Chicken'n'Waffles type. The garlic one is a lot better than the waffle one, but neither of them is as good as plain Cheddar'n'Sour Cream to me. The waffle one is actually more maple-y than chicken-y, and the garlic one is more cheesy than garlic, but they're both worth trying. I think I'll ask the office if they would like at least the waffle one. Otherwise I'm likely to force myself to eat them out of natural proclivity to not throw food away.

Speaking of food, I made a really good double baked potato yesterday. I first sliced them length-wise, and microwaved them til they were soft. Then I scooped out the flesh, left the peel, Reb put a bit of butter in the shells to melt down, and combined the potatoes with mayo (Kewpie brand), sliced cheese, a little mustard, and some salt and pepper. Then when they were softer, almost like mashed potatoes, I scooped them back into their shells, topped them with cheese, and stuck them in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese on top. It was surprisingly good.

Today I made a ricexsteakxspinachxherb mixture in the rice cooker, while Reb made a nice spinach salad with a bit of sea salt and lemon juice as dressing. I also made a fruit salad, but the fruits don't mesh as well as I'd hoped. It was 'Golden Fruit Melon' (like cantaloupe with watermelon), nectarines (that were rather less succulent than I'd hoped), and a Pink Lady apple (that I've never had before). I added a bit of sea salt to that as well, but maybe I should have gone the opposite route and used sugar, marshmallow fluff, or something like that. :/ I'm not sure how to fix the fruit salad.

I want to make a chicken'n'dumplings slow cooker recipe I found yesterday. It sounds really really yummy, even though I haven't had chicken and dumplings since my grandfather died. I'm just missing one ingredient, but there's another recipe I'd like to get some ingredients for as well, so we're gonna run to the store now. Ciao!
