Default Cross your fingers for me, please

I'm so excited!!!! I have two job interviews tomarrow! I've been sooooo down because I didn't have any responses to the dozen resumes I sent out two weeks ago. I was really rather bummed out and worried (feeling middle age, etc...).


But now I have 2 glorious interview, both really interesting positions....and now I'm nervous and jumping for joy at the same time. All those horrible "what ifs" and don't forget to phrase things correctly, what to wear, what to bring, what to ask things are running thru my mind.

It's going to be hard to sleep tonight. Yeh! So please cross your fingers for me, I REALLY REALLY MISS BAKING and hope someone wants me!!!

Sorry, I just had to share...I hope I hope I hope.......

What exciting news! Actually, I'd say that these days that's not a terrible rate of resume to interview. I hope to hear about the lucky winner/employer soon!

Thank-you, thank-you, it's sooooo great to be apart of a place with such warm friendly people!

.......I must have woke up 5 times last night I hope this coffee works.......you'd think at my age I wouldn't get so worked up over interviews, but I do.

Thanks for all the advice I've recieved here over the last 3 or 4 years! I'm going to try to keep all that wisdom in mind with each interview.
