Day 17 Month 1 Year 2016 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Hopefully… today isn’t a wasted day. Things to do, and all that but waiting on others to make sure they can get done.

First, easy, empty the dishwasher. THAT doesn’t require any patience at all. Then… laundry. Which requires a LOT of patience and waiting for people to decide to be done with their laundry.

Ultimately, today was mostly a day in my head. Thinking about my next interview, worrying about the last. Thing is… I’d really like it if my last interview turned into a job offer. But there is never a way to KNOW if it will. So, I would really like to ace my next job interview. Problem is Interview 1: Last Day of Business Week; Interview 2: Federal Holiday. SO I can’t use the same suit for both interviews. I used my BEST suit for the first interview… and now I’m nervous/concerned about how I’m going to look at this upcoming interview. And… partly, I focus on this minutia… because (of course) there is that voice that whispers… what if neither interview turns into a job offer? What if… after 14 hours of driving… neither place wants you. It isn’t hard to imagine. It’s happened before. What do you do then?

And… I have no answer. Really. I’d be devastated. UTTERLY destroyed. But… what would I do? I can’t quit or give up. I despise my current job. I can’t sit around doing nothing… money and getting out of Omaha are too important. And my wife would NOT be someone I could turn to… that was proven quite thoroughly this last week!

Thus… ultimately, I would have to select between one of three options… IF neither interview turned into a job,mind you.
(1) I would have to ask Work Crush if we could hit up the bars. Not as in a flirting, lets pretend date kind of a thing. Strictly as… you know my job sucks, you know how long I’ve been looking for work, and you aren’t as emotionally broken as my wife.... can we just go drink somewhere and be humans?
(2) I would have to drive back to my parents and spend some QUALITY time with my folks and friends from pre-law school. Mostly drinking, shopping, and trying not to let myself sink into a depression of epic and unfathomable levels.
(3) I would/could drive the 4 hours BACK to the Waterloo area and hang with My Best Friend In The Entire World (whom I shall call MBFITEW, lol) watching Anime, playing video games… and maybe me forcing him to go bar hopping or experience the city he is living in.
Yeah… if neither of these interviews become jobs… I’ll have to do one of those.
