good interview and good tv!

So i told you guys i would keep you updated on my job search. I interviewed today at a hospital in our area. It is Number 3 on my list (of three) mostly because it is a 45 minute drive without traffic, and the route to get there gets a LOT of traffic! Well i wasn't too worried about this interview, but it went really well I think. More importantly i really enjoyed getting to see another hospital and see how another chaplaincy department does things. I actually think that i would like to work there if the commute wasn't as bad. BUT if i did work there next year we would probably move to Raleigh. mostly because there is no reason for both audie and i to drive 45 minutes to basically the same area of Raleigh. We could move and pay a little more in rent but only have about a 10 minute drive. Positives about this hospital that i realized today: free employee parking at the hospital, which the other two do NOT! the pay is actually better than the #2 hospital but not as much as #1. So after my interview at two places I think that i would be happy working at either place. I think i would be happy working at any of the three for sure so we'll see what God (and the selection committees) have in store.

On to good TV! i love the new seasons of reality and other TV that are starting up soon, or have just started! IF you know me at all you know i have an unnatural obsession with Television! so this weekend i watched the iron chef special with Michelle Obama (she was so stylish in a red/coral sun dress and green cardigan with a flower on it! say what you will about her husband or their politics, but that woman can dress!) And afterward I wound up watching Worst Cooks in America, which was really funny. It's a show about these people that CANNOT cook being taught how to cook by two food network chefs! hilarity ensues, because these people are really bad at this!! pretty good show, DVR it for sure.

the next show i have seen in the last few days was the bachelor! I definitely watched watched the last few seasons, and Jake is a pretty cute bachelor for the show ( i mean some of those guys are NOT attractive) but his personality gets on my nerves! I know that he gets some flack from ladies about being a good guy, but i don't think that's what bothers them Jake, i think it's that you are a goody goody and are kind of wimpy guy. i think that good guys don't always finish last, but i think that most women (myself included) like a good guy that is a man's man, and can have the nerves to stand up to us or for themselves. i think Jake has that, but not enough of it is on the surface for women to see it. But he doesn't get on my nerves enough to not watch the show (though i know that Lyndsay at fluffy, famous and fashionable has decided not to watch this season because he's so annoying!) ANYway, the girls overall were nice, I really liked some of them, but others i thought were kind of skanky, too slutty or were downright crazy! as usual the bachelor did not keep or get rid of all the girls that i wanted him to keep or get rid of, but he kept some of them that i wanted and got rid of some of the crazies. Though there are some girls that i cannot wait to see what drama they will start. overall i think that Jake will see through some of the crap and get a really good girl out of the deal. I also loved the 'this season on the bachelor' scenes because they showed a good bunch of trash talking, drama from the ladies, including some secrets, women who are having relationships while being on the show (not sure how that happens?) and a girl that possibly leaves, al la Ed from last season! I'll keep watching for sure! and I like the DVR so i can fast forward through the oodles of repeating what happened last week and recapping during the show!

OK so after the bachelor aired a new crappy reality show called conveyor belt of Love, I watched, I laughed, I loved it!! it was so cheesy and kooky it was hilarious!! so on this show a conveyor belt parades 30 or so guys in front of 5 single ladies who have signs. The guys get 30 seconds to present themselves in whatever way they wanted to the girls. (some got really creative, some fell flat, there were magic tricks and other craziness present!) the ladies then get to hold up a 'interested' or 'not interested' sign! if they are the only one that is interested the guy goes and stands in a box with her name on it. if there are multiple women interested then the guy decides which girl he wants to go out with and goes and stands in her box. If none of the girls are interested then the conveyor goes on it's way, with the guy on it. AND if a girl wanted to 'upgrade' their guy from their box for another one they could! at the end of the parade o' guys the girls go off on a date with the guy in their box. It was really funny/ cute to see these guys working hard to get and keep a date with their lady! Overall a pretty good crappy reality show! right up my alley!!

Ok i think that's enough for now guys! expect more updates as the job hunt keeps going, and as spring tv gives me more fun things to share with you! also i'm excited because Audie is picking up chicfila for dinner on his way home (yes we ate that on saturday again, but come on it's amazing!!)

TTFN,

Julia

Good job on the interview, it sounds like you're relatively calm about the whole job interview process. Good for you! I just caught up on your post from yesterday, too, and I love that y'all went to Target and window shopped. We do that SO MUCH!
