Chocolate Mousse Filling and Buttercream Icing!!!

I didn't watch Gray's last night. I was home. I prefer to let it record and watch it later when I can fast forward through the commercials. Instead I watched CSI, fell asleep on the couch about 15 minutes in, and was completely startled about 15 minutes later when a car blew up on tv. Seriously, I caught myself from falling off of the couch, but I though that something happened in our bedroom! I almost had a heart attack. Anyway, I'm apparently the only one who didn't watch because it's all Ive heard about all day! I have to keep covering my ears or my eyes to avoid a spoiler! So far so good.

I want to gripe about things. But I feel like that's all I do on here. But then I feel like what good is a blog if you can't gripe. Right? or wrong? I am a complainer. It's what I do. I have to complain or else it would just fester. I need to let it out. Then, as soon as I do, I'm over it. Some people don't need to complain (ahem, Lee) but I do. Is it annoying? Is it a downer? Do people see me from afar and think "oh great, there she is, she's going to bitch about something" and turn and go the other way? I would be really sad if I was that girl.

OH! So, awhile ago, I said that I was really excited about something, but didn't say what. Okay, this might be long because I tell long stories. Soooo I was whining about work and how I don't know what I want to do but I know that I want to do something else and yada yada. Jackie told me her story of how she went through the same thing. Somewhere in there she mentioned going to career services at TU and they helped her with her resume. So, after reading, I went to the alumni section of the TU website. I followed lots of links and randomly ended up on the job postings site. Like, for jobs at the school. There was on one there. And it might as well have had gold beams shooting out from it and angels singing because it was perfect. The position was in the office of admissions and was basically recruiting students and stuff like that. Um, people, this is exactly what I did when I was a GA, except it was for the Graduate students, and this was for undergraduate. I wanted it!! So I got all excited and the more I looked at the requirements, the more I realized how perfect I was! I mean, I fit every single qualification, right down to the "preferred" items. I went to submit my resume the next day, and...the posting was gone! What? It was a Thursday! Who takes down a job posting on a Thursday?! Anyway, I called HR, asked why it was gone, she said they were no longer taking applications. I told her why I was perfect for it, I mean, I sold myself, and she told me that I should go ahead and send her my resume and she would see what she could do. Sometime last week (maybe early this week? I don't know, it runs together), I found out that they accepted my late resume!! They were supposed to start calling for interviews soon she said. So then, today I got an email about the job. They weren't even calling me for an interview! I was flat out rejected! WHAT?! WTF?! Who in the HELL applied for this position?? I actually am not that sad about not getting an interview, because, let's face it, it probably doesn't pay well (one of my professors who I talked to about it even told me that I should check on the salary range!). And not that I'm all about money, because I'm really not, but some people in my life make me feel terrible about even considering taking a lower paying job. I didn't even tell anyone about it except Mary. I eventually told Lee (who was less than enthusiastic about it, but we won't go there). Anyway, that's not the point. The point is I DIDN'T GET AN INTERVIEW!!! It's really the principle here. Seriously, I wish that I could show you the posting and then show you how I have done EVERY SINGLE THING on there!! If I was not really qualified or had really never had any experience with what they were wanting, I wouldn't be surprised, but that's not the case! Anyway, sorry for my ranting. And I'm really not trying to sound like I'm so great or perfect, so if I sound conceited, that is not my intention at all. I'm just really surprised that I didn't even get an interview. It was obviously not meant to be, and probably a blessing in disguise, so I will go on with my life.

I have been on here for way longer than expected. I'm leaving work early. Tonight we are celebrating Mary's graduation! Yay! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Hopefully I can tell you our cake flavors on Monday!! I know you're on the edge of your seat! :)
