ready for my interview

Yesterday morning, couldn't do much. Had to wash hair early so it would dry and get dressed for my job interview: taupe suit, purple sweater...even lipstick. I wore a headband, but I don't think I am in this picture. The interview went well. I liked the new director, Alison. Also presented was the existing assistant director, Jane, who I have met once or twice before. They asked those questions like, "tell me about a time when you had several things to get done at once." I can never remember any specific examples when I am asked. They wanted to know about my QuickBooks experience and even gave me a test, which I am not sure I did that well on. Just give me the computer and I'll do the work, but I might not remember the names for the different steps...They also asked some accounting questions, like what is an asset... I did not get the impression that they were ready to hire me on the spot. Perhaps they had interviewed someone else earlier that they liked better. But I would really like the job. Bookkeeping, reports, ordering supplies, very little contact with clients...or the Board! 8-1 Mon-Friday... but we'll see.

A little work for my class and then driving to Gwinnett with Sean, who is a really nice young man (well, not that young). He and his wife are expecting their first child in August. He is a librarian at Gainesville College, the Watkinsville branch. I enjoy his company, and he seems perfectly happy with mine as well. Last night coming home, he had to man my iPod, looking for lively or at least sing-along songs to keep me awake. Class yesterday seemed to go on a long time. I am truly grateful that it is not 5 hours as planned, but 4 is still a lot! OK, well I better get to making my PSA, which is due tomorrow!
