I should have some net access after the interview; I'll let y'all know how it went (hopefully on *this* thread!
)GG . . . and just prior to showing up on the other thread, re: my feelings about moving!
OutETA: This is my last post till I jet on outta here---see you after the (job-winning!
) interview, Kittens. Thanks for your support! 
***********************************************
Hey Kittens, I'm back, post-interview (coming to you live from the 'putie at my best friend's house. Best friends: Woo Hoo!). I'm kinda sorry no one else has posted on this thread since I left!
I feel well enough about the interview to post here, though I'm waiting to find out exactly what the next step is (seems there's a second part to the selection process that was not presented to me until the interview---and then I was too out of it at the end to get clarification as to exactly what that next step is).
The interview got off to a difficult start: I actually reported to the wrong building (Aaaaargh!
), and when the interview began, they hit me w/ the toughest question first (the one related to my paltry level of work experience). But I think I handled it OK, and things got easier from there. By the end of the interview (which did not drag, and I still had energy at the end---just not enough presence of mind to make the inquiry I mentioned above), I really think I had them all w/ me (heads nodding, eyes not glazed over). So, we'll just have to wait and see how I did!Thanks again, y'all, for all your support: if I managed to sell this committee on the idea of me for this job, I know it's because so many people---inc. Kittens---have kept me in their thoughts and prayers.
Well, I'm off to enjoy some more of my native California sunshine: life's pretty damn good at this moment, and I'm grateful to everyone (divine, human, and animal---my best friend has three cats, two birds, a bunch of fish, and a guest guinea pig) who helped make it happen. Hugs!
GG Here's to me celebrating the Giants' World Series win w/ the home crowd!

with happiness because I got an award in the Dale Carnegie course my parents made me attend. I got an award for most improved participant. Everyone voted for me and in the last couple of awards ppl just shook the recipients hands. I got bear hugs and kisses and pats on my back and shoulders. It was an amazing feeling as i was still recovering from shock. I'm happy... i have a pen to show my dad and mom. My dad would be proud... he had won a similar award years ago... in the 80's. 
A very good friend of mine went through the Dale Carnegie course years ago and tried to get me to take it, but I’m too chicken to do so. Just thinking about it intimidates me.
, but she's dated a lot more. I'd feel wrong about comparing myself to her. 
, met lots of wonderful lesbians (Wellesley= women's college) 
, and.....
Out 
cause I didn't get to watch. Wrong coast and all.
