Stuff and nonsense

Spent all day Thursday at an on-site interview with the people who make Lysol. Interesting, but definitely exhausting. By the end of the day, I was pretty much hoarse. I'm starting to get really sick of my own stories - I keep telling the same ones over and over again. But they're the ones that are most applicable to most questions, so I can't really stop telling them. Ah well.

Anyway, they put me up in a hotel the night before and everything. It still seems foreign to me to spend so much money on people when you know there's a good chance you won't hire them. I mean, Turner gave me a ton of free stuff - everything from a fleece to a really nice duffel bag to a finals care package - before deciding that they didn't currently have a place for me on their team. And these guys now are interviewing all month for one position, but seem delighted to pay for hotel rooms and tolls and mileage for everyone. It's very generous, but frankly a little confusing. (And I now have a bunch of stuff emblazoned with the company logo of a company that rejected me. What am I supposed to do with this stuff?)

I visited with my mom on Wednesday (which was quite lovely) and I've spent a lot of the rest of the time doing independent work type stuff. The clock works - kinda. It stops at random intervals and I can't figure out why...

And spring break's already over. Went surprisingly fast.

There are flowers in Prospect Gardens. Not many, and they're very small, but they make me happy. Spring! Yay!
