The interview at the dental school, Wednesday, went well. Got a
call-back this afternoon - they've narrowed it down to three candidates
and want each of the three of us to come in Monday for follow-up
interviews.

Anybody looking for a creative typist that can't handle more than one
conversation at a time?

Apparently, someone is.

It gets better. This is an opportunity to try something new, learn new
skills, meet new people, make a name for myself... I keep telling
myself... Patience. Perseverance. Faith. But it DOES get frustrating
soemtimes!

It IS getting better. My son, of course, is aware that Mom's out of work
- it's kind of hard for him to understand that we don't have money the
way we used to have, but he's taking it like a trooper. He comes in from
school, tells me about his day, then asks how job hunting went that day,
and did I get any new interviews? I've been trying really hard to keep
the stress and budget problems "out of sight, out of mind" around him,
make the whole experience seem more like an adventure or something - 'I
explored THIS new job, and THAT new job, and found out a little about
what a fill in the blank does...' Any suggestions for other/added ways
to try to relieve some of the stress would be welcome.

Keep your fingers crossed for me?

Still? Or, again? Please? All prayers and moral support cheerfully
accepted.
