So pumped, so pumped, so pumped!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Interview for what might be my dream job in Austin is set for 8:30 Monday. Kind of surprised for an early AM interview, especially on a Monday, but whatever. I'll take it! I just might have to wake up at like 5 in order to be awake. I was NOT blessed with whatever it is that makes people morning people. I'm definitely more of an owl than a lark, a trait which is shared with my sister, mom, Maw-Maw, and several other family members.

I kind of just want to run around and yell and scream. I'm just that pumped.

I have to go in there and knock their socks off. I know I am an awesome meeting planner, but since this is a corporate meeting planning position (as opposed to association/nonprofit), some of the position is marketing, which is different for me. Association meeting planners generally just do logistics-pure meeting planning. In the corporate world, meetings are usually a function of marketing so there's a difference.

I CAN'T WAIT!

Also, my sister is going to have that baby any day now. She's already dialated 2-3 cm, and the OB told her he doesn't think she'll make it to her due date. And he thinks she'll have an easy delivery! Yay for her! I hope so. I can't wait to meet this kid.

Today, I thanked someone for a rejection e-mail.

Because this e-mail was from an actual human, not an automated system. And this person responded IN THE TIMELINE THAT THEY ORIGINALLY STATED. Go figure. So, it was a rejection (fourth of the week) that was actually personable and classy. Imagine that.

So in other news, my sweet baby sister sent me a Sephora gift card for my birthday. I am not quite sure when it got here, because most of our mail goes to Scott's office and he's not alway so great about brining it home, but I noticed a pile on the kitchen table yesterday that had two cards for me in it, both from her: 1st one was a thank-you note from her shower, 2nd was the birthday card w/the Sephora GC. I am having such a shit week that don't you know it, that GC made me cry. I call her and get her voice mail and am all "You shouldn't have done that. That was so sweet. You're about to have a BAAAAAABY!" Punctuated in sniffles and all.

She had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon, so we didn't chat long, but probably from this point she'll be going to the doctor every week. Even though she's not due until the beginning of next month, she could be a mommy at any time now! Which is just crazy to me but I am looking so forward to it. I just wish that that baby (oh, and the parents!) didn't live all the freaking way in Boston!

My dad and Nancy are giving me a RT ticket on Southwest to go visit at some point, so the up side is that if I don't have a job next month (perish the thought), I can go see my niece or nephew pretty soon after its arrival. Which is basically the only thing I have to look forward to if I don't have a job. I will be a much better auntie when I DO have a job. After all, how am I supposed to BUY THINGS FOR THIS BABY? I figure the kid isn't going to know me very well, unless I can be The Aunt who Sends Cute Things. ;)

Anyway...TGIF. This week has sucked. Bye-bye, sucky week. Next week has to be better. Right? RIGHT.
