Second round
First part of the heavy week's done, got lots of homework to do before next week.
It was tough, unpleasant.
And tomorrow, finally, I get my second interview. I feel like a ball in my stomach, no stress for it, but wondering what will happen next.
I gotta get into the spirit now : I'll paint my nails. Perfect hands, I can do that ... ;-)

Quicksand
I walk, one step, then another.
The ground isn't as hard as I thought, I'm about to lose my balance sometimes, even fall.
It was scary the first times.
you just don't know how often you will fall. Then you learn how to. Just like when skiing : )
I'm learning to love quicksands, because I think life is truly this way. Don't take anything for granted, anything.
I'm about to start a heavy week. Tomorrow, trying to defend myself for a job and later my case with my lawyer.
I am back to cigarettes for real, well 1, 2 a day. Bad enough. But however bad it is, right now stopping is not my priority.

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
