The Job, part 2

I've spent one hour today working on my second job interview for the company I saw last week.

The first interview went well it seems. On Friday I got a call for second interview tomorrow morning at 10.00am, this time with the HR manager. 
I was so proud.
Funny when you've stopped working in a formal biz environment for 10 years... you get back into it, but you're everything but formal. You answer typical questions, but just can't answer in a typical way. Even if I imagine the expected answers, I have to go straight to the point : 

"Why do you want this job?
"because it is a very interesting position that will allow me to develop my career"
"because (and then I give my most pretty smile) I need to feed my kids"

It would take me 30 minutes to go there, very well located in Paris centre.
I wonder, god I wonder how I'll make it... alone, full time job, the kids, my painting biz, and myself. No holidays for a year.

I need Superman to take care of me sometimes. I should be an emergency for him! : )
Please Superman, come here and take care of me for a couple of hours only. 

It's stressing, but exciting. I'm going to be a super modern girl. Capable to do everything, alone.
And one day, one day trust me, my paintings will be enough. I'll be a successful artist. I wouldn't type it if I wouldn't believe it. Forced to make it happen now : )

edit: both appointments, the job and lawyer have been postponed ! boooo

  1. Ah, sorry to disapoint you, you won't get no superman... only a regular one and you have to wish for it.
    Sorry to break you the news via this blog, but it's a little bit like kids and Santa... someday you gotta learn :)
    In the mean time, if I can be of some help whatsoever, just say so!
    Me, I figure I already help a lot, this post being a fine example!

    No superman, lady!

  3. Good luck for the job ! I'm dissapointed I didn't even get an interview :-(

    I find it great that you still believe in Superman ! I don't think there are any supermen... maybe a few superwomen though.

    But I'd be only too happy to be proven wrong !
