finally friday...

first and foremost, i have to talk about what i'm watching on tv... millionaire... and it's "engaged couples" week... it's extremely entertaining to watch the couples as they try to make decisions and take risks... i keep waiting for one of the couples to fight... but so far... not so much...

here's the heart of what i really wanted to write about today...

i had my 2nd interview at the church... and it went well... it was with the two youth ministers... at first, it was the normal type stuff... and then, at some point, it took more an informal tone... my sarcastic side came out a little bit... but it felt pretty appropriate... if something can be "pretty appropriate" - i guess it's either appropriate or not... but whatever...

then, the sr. high youth minister said he had "rapid fire" questions for me... which is kind of fun and kind of terrifying... because who knows what i might say in the spur of a moment...

so... these are the questions (and i'll insert my answers in green)...

1. do you like coffee? (emphatically) "yes!"
2. what's your favorite dc talk song? "what's that one... the other night i met this girl and she looked at me so nice... i asked her for her digits and she didn't think twice..." (yes, that's right... i totally rapped the song)... "i can't remember the name of it..."
3. do you know what "more cowbell" means? and at this point, i think i snorted... i definitely laughed... "i love it!!! yes, i've got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell!!!"
4. do you know who flava-flav is? yes and he's creepy!!!
5. what your favorite line from a movie? "no way... i can't do it... i love movies... but i guess i'll say, "i gave her my heart and she gave me a pen." because it's the first thing that came into my head. "

i definitely walked away saying, "did i really get asked if i knew who flava-flav is in an interview? and will i get the job because i know or not get it because i know?"

but overall, i think they liked me... but i left thinking, "did i really say all of that?" because when i start with the sarcastic and goofy side i forget that i'm in it until i snort... which happened at least 3 times... so i hope it was endearing and not weird...

so, it was good... and i just called to check with one of them about the process... and i think i'm in... so now, comes the weekend of processing... trying to figure it all out... i feel like i could have written this entry better... i'm sure i could have... but such is life...

so the most up-to-date word on the job hunt is:
i'm waiting for the engineering firm to call and let me know if i would be getting that job or not...
i'm waiting for the minister of education to call and ask me to come meet with him to discuss the offer he should be extending to me...
this weekend i'll be processing everything to figure out what i'll do if i get a call from the engineering firm... about which one i'll take...
i should be starting work within the next week or so... maybe a week from monday... hopefully soon... because i'm ready to start getting a paycheck!!!
