I tried to update at work after hearing back on the job, but apparently, they don't like me visiting Blogger.com at work. But.......I got the job. I'm so happy right now and can't wait for these next two weeks to pass by so I can start the next job. Thanks to those of you who wished me good luck.

It's been a while since I had one of those nights where it was just hard to get to sleep because of anticipation for the next day. You know - those nights before Christmas, the nights before heading to a theme park, etc. You're just so excited and ready for the next day to get here, it's almost impossible to get to sleep. Even though I was tired and ready to hit the sack, I just couldn't get to sleep. I just couldn't wait for today to get here and despite second-guessing myself last night, I'm remaining positive. Both interviews went relatively well, though one went better than the other - and the initial interview with HR went smoothly as well.

I'm just so sick of everything going on at my current work that if I don't get this job, I'm not quite sure what I'll end up doing. I don't know how much longer I can stay there, so I'm really banking heavily on the new job coming through. And we're almost there. I should be able to call on my first break which is usually around 10am and hopefully Laura will be in the office and able to give me the good news.

Again...positive thoughts!

I love my little Samsung X475 phone that I am currently using with a T-Mobile Pay as you Go plan. It's small, lightweight, and extremely useful. However, it doesn't have a convenient dock to recharge in, so if I forget to plug it in when the battery is low, I'm outta luck the next day. Today was one of those days I was without my phone. And wouldn't you know it - the new job called me back. Well...not really a new job yet...but hopefully a new job. I just have to be positive and see what they say tomorrow when I call back on my first break around 10am. I've got the two weeks notice letter ready to go just in case I do get the job - which I really need.

Positive thoughts!

In his 20 years at the US Open, Agassi never played in a 5th set tiebreak. In all of James Blake's visits to the U.S. Open, he's never played in a 5th set. Tonight, they battled in a match for the ages.

I rarely get to watch tennis on television as most of the big tourneys are out of my time zone, but tonight, I made sure to watch the match between Agassi and Blake. Agassi entered as the 7th seed at age 35. James Blake entered as a wildcard at age 25 (just three months older than myself). He had never made it to the semi-finals at the U.S. Open. Agassi has won it twice. Before the fifth set tiebreak, both players received a standing ovation.

As I type this, it's tied 4 all in the tiebreak. If either player wins, it'll be a great story. Right now, I'm rooting for Blake - he's always been someone I have cheered for, but either way it goes, it'll be great. Make it 5 all.

If Agassi wins tonight, I'd love for him to win it all (though I doubt that'll happen - same with Blake). Agassi is now serving for the match. What a tough way to lose his first ever 5th set in the U.S. Open should Blake lose.

And...we're tied up at 6 again - another standing ovation for two players putting forth as much as they can. And wow...what a point that was. Agassi up 7-6. What a great tiebreak to end a great match.

As they just said during the telecast - "Does someone have to lose?" Such a shame Blake had to lose that match. An absolutely amazing match. Go Agassi.

A: 3 3 6 6 7 (8-6)
B: 6 6 3 3 6

Chatting with Meli earlier today and she asked why I didn't update my blog more...so here it is.

I haven't updated in a while since I've been pretty busy. Not that busy, but busy nonetheless. I've been working hard at work - though I'm not quite sure what for and I've also been interviewing for another job which I'm really hoping to get. If I land this job, it'll take precedence over my interviewing with both SDSD and SDPD. However, if I don't get the job, I'll continue my efforts with the Sheriff. In the end though, I really need this job. I'm fed up with work - especially after they demote one of my bosses today to below me (she'll probably quit) and another person has already left. The office will be even more dull (duller?) than before and with a teller transferring to a new accounts position next week, we'll be even more shorthanded and I'm seriously thinking about putting in my two weeks notice without a job to back it up with. If I don't land the other job, after two weeks, I can interview all over the place for a temporary job while searching for a permanent one.

As for my Folding@Home, I'm still moving up the charts. I brought Epimetheus back online yesterday in a nice new small case and now have 7 computers folding full time for the cause. I just passed 20,000 total points and moved into the top 30,000 worldwide and I'm at 1147 in the [H]orde and on my way to top 1,000.

What else? Meli thinks I should talk about my private life more, but I'm not too keen on that (probably because of how pathetic it is), so we'll just ignore that topic from here on out. So...ummm...yeah...that's it. I'll try and keep it more updated - though I can't make any promises.
