So, today did not go as planned....

It was kind of a bummer of a day today. First, I woke up not feeling very well so I stayed in bed a little later than planned. Then, I checked my email and had gotten an email from a place I applied - Vanderbilt University - wanting to set up a phone interview today. Umm, that's a lot of notice! Not. So, I emailed them back and I had a couple hours to get ready for it. In the meantime, I called back the woman from the county library system where I had interviewed last week. And, let's all say it together, I got rejected. It sounds like I was the runner-up and they went with someone who already works in the county system at another branch so it was pretty much a no-shot-in-hell opportunity but I did think they really liked me and were considering me. Not. Then, the librarians at Vanderbilt called and I totally bombed the interview. I just did not do well and I know it. I'm not sure what, if anything, I can do to fix it but I do hope they take into consideration that I had such short notice, because I would really relish that opportunity. But, probably not. Finally, I checked my other email and had gotten a note from eBay announcing that there was a discount on insertion fees so I thought it would be a good day to put stuff up on eBay. Umm, a good idea, I suppose, but it took me like 6 hours to put up like 10 or 12 items just because of a slow Internet connection as well as gathering information and cropping pictures for the ads. Let's hope I make some money, though! But again, probably not!
