Waiting and waiting and waiting...

In July I interviewed for one of the positions I want in my agency.  This Wednesday I interviewed for the second.  I think that the person making the selection in each case has made their recommendation to their boss (who must approve.)  Well, it is the Government, ya know.  Nothing works fast.  Long story short, I hate waiting to find out if I bombed an interview.  There are times when it would just be nice to hear they have no intention of considering you, the interview was just a courtesy... if that is what it was.  But, that doesn't happen.  Instead, you wait.  Maybe I'll find something out this next week. **crossing fingers**

It is hard to concentrate on other things when issues are hanging over your head.  While waiting on the outcome of my job future is a pain, I must admit that the familial front is the more daunting of the issues.  What truly pains me is that my baby...repeat...MY BABY starts high school 10 days from now.   When he was born, this day seemed so far off.  Seems like only yesterday he was in the infant seat coming home from the hospital.  *sigh*  On top of that there are daughter and mother issues.  Separate.  My daughter and then with my mother.  **bigger sigh**

I think I am due a vacation.  I mean away from everyone and everything.  No cell phone to be bothered with, no laptop to get email that can bother me, etc.  I would have to take the AlphaSmart though.  When I wasn't sleeping, I could write.  I've done some of my best stuff in hotel rooms when I travel for work.  Amazing what solitude in a town where you know no one can do for you.  

I'll really need to figure a way to do that...
