Before I get into the interview that I had today, I need to share what happened as I was trying to leave. 

Some backstory for this story; my dog, Grey, likes to hop the fence sometimes (typical for a husky). Well, as I was walking to the driver door of my car, I noticed this dog on the other side of my car. I'm parked in the driveway and it was weird to see a dog come close to a stranger like that. 

I turned around prepared for anything (just in case this dog is aggressive or not), I was even prepared to take this dog home. Turns out,  the dog was already home as I see Grey, my loving dog greet me with tail wags. 

He hopped the fence from the backyard. He must have heard my goodbye to my mom and grandma as I was closing the front door behind me. 

I did hear this sound come from the side of the house that I thought was weird. I realized after the fact that it was the sound the metal fence makes when Grey jumps over it. 

I couldn't be upset as he wanted to say bye to me. I walked back through the front door and he immediately sat on the back of the couch, looking out the window. As he always does when he watches us leave. He only wanted to say good bye. My beautiful, sweet, charming boy. 

Not too long ago, he conned his aunt into giving him more treats by upping his cute factor. He really is charming. 

Anyway, I have a little update from my interview with the assistant manager today. Good news is I wasn't turned down for the position. Not so good news, I won't hear back until Friday. Worse not so good news, if I'm still considered for the position then I have another interview with another manager. I won't find anything else out until Friday. 

It's not what I was hoping for, but at least I haven't been turned down yet. 

I just hate this. Over six months of applying at places, some of whom were "desperate" for people, and the amount of times companies have turned my application down is crazy. 

I applied at three different companies last Tuesday, only one has contacted me. 

And the positions are still open. There's the one company that I did a phone interview with at the end of July that ghosted me after telling me that I would have a working interview, and I saw on Tuesday the position was still open. I met the requirements for the position very well. 

It just frustrates me. 

Over six months and nothing has happened. I still don't have a job. 

When I applied for the daycare that I had worked at, I had an interview, a working interview, and I was hired in all in the same day. There weren't desperate, they just wanted more people. I was the only new hire for at least a month. 

I understand there are some difficulties with COVID, but this is ridiculous. 

However, according to my dad, this isn't as crazy as I think it is. Which sucks. But it's not like I can do anything about it. 

Onto something different! When we brought my grandma over to our house we took this box filled with boxes of jewelry back over with us. This jewelry had been sitting in a big safe for almost 22 years. The only reason it was taken out was because my cousin took the safe. 

The jewelry belonged to my mother's grandmother (my grandpa's mother). We sat at the table and went through it. I grabbed a jewelry box with select pieces and a ow pin that also looks like a fish when turned on its side. Random, but neat.

I also found out that when she was working as a secretary, clip on earrings were used rather than pierced earrings. She did have both though. 

Great grandma Simpson (Lola) died in January of 2002. About five months after I was born. She visited Delaware when I was born, and we saw her at Christmas when we came back for the holidays. So I don't remember her. 

Although right now as I'm typing this I can smell her perfume on me from the jewelry boxes. 

At first I wasn't going to take some of her jewelry, but I found some pieces and the jewelry box that I like. I'm keeping the pieces of hers in the box so I know what's hers. 

I did recently declutter some of my own jewelry. I've been going through my stuff a lot lately for some reason. I don't know. I think I'm ready to start working, move away from this house (I'm tired of taking two flight of stairs every time I need to do laundry. It's a great work out, but my back is not liking me carrying baskets full of laundry up and down those stairs.), and even moving out my own. 

That's going to take some time before I can do all of that. Maybe one day. 

The day when I get married. If that will happen. 

Well, I think that will do it for this update. I talked about my day (and where I am in the job interviewing process), ranted, and talked a little about my feelings. It was a good day. 

Thank you for reading! 

Until next time, 

Later!
