An update

Ok, I didn't quite manage to do what I wanted to this year. Namely have an online diary - I was hoping that having it online would make it easier for me to write on the blog - but I actually find it more difficult. Difficult because my highly developed perfectionist Gen are a big obstacle.

Yes, I have that Gen - Not that I ever had my DNA made up but I just know.... Just the other day I was blaming my mother - telling her that she was the one who gave it to me. I was hoping for some support and all she said was to drop it. Quote: "I was old before I realized that the only one who cares about it, is me - nobody else really sees it or maybe even appreciate it". Maybe I should give an example to clarify. I have been knitting a V-neck sweater in the round - so I first divided for the V which went fine and then for the arms. Big problem, I had lost a stitch and I couldn't find out where. By then I had already done an extra 10cm. What to do? Well I think most knitters would just leave it. No one is going to see the difference. But ME! oh NO! I have to undo the entire thing down to the V-neck to be sure that I make it right. Just because I know it is going to annoy me that I know it is not done correctly.

I will post a picture of it when done. But I still have part of the sleeves to do and I don't have much yarn left.


The most exciting thing that has happen lately is in the job area. Friday 8 Feb I applied for a job over the internet. The following week they asked for a phone interview only 4 hours after the phone interview they wrote me an e-mail asking me for an onsite interview.... So I'm going this Friday. So cross your fingers - the job sound really interesting and a good match for me. A great opportunity to really bloom. I'm a bit nervous though cause I will be having some tests I never had to do a test for a job before. I have to admit I always got my jobs in the past due my performance on the interview. (like the one I have now). I have tried to check out the logic games they have on the internet but non of them sounds like the one I'm going to take. Anyway I don't want to get my hopes up that I will get the first job I apply for - but try to enjoy the experience and be my self. I hope I can stick to the latter...

I apologize for any spelling mistakes but the function doesn't work today. However, instead of trying to be perfect I will just post it as it is.
