A Lovely Birthday

[przed]

In spite of the upheaval of the last few weeks, I've had a rather nice birthday.

I slept in a bit (7 a.m.! Heaven!), took Ros into daycare, and then futzed around with various things.

After taking my resume to Staples to print, I picked up Ros a bit early, took her to the Sweetie's work for a visit, and then we went to my favourite Tibetan restaurant for a lovely birthday meal. The evening finished up at home with the traditional white chocolate mousse cake (it's the cake we had for our wedding, and it's awesome), and gifties. Ros picked out a nifty rocket lapel pin from an artist we're friends with, and the Sweetie got me the latest Robbie Williams album and Supernatural Season 4. (That Castiel vid I want to make should be on the plate soon.)

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes; you're the best! I'll try and respond to everyone individually as soon as I can.

And now it's off to prep for my very first interview tomorrow. I made it through a phone screening on Tuesday, so now it's a face to face with HR and the senior manager. I haven't done an interview in a ridiculously long period of time. This should be interesting...

Happy Birthday! It sounds like a lovely day. And good luck with the interview!

Happy birthday yourself! (I have no excuse for missing yours. It's the same day as Don's. Hope it was a good one.)

Thanks for the good interview wishes. I think I'm going in vastly underprepared, but it's been a bit of a crazy week.

Happy B-day again.

Sounds like you had a great night!

Good luck tomorrow - knock 'em dead.

Thanks! It was a very nice night.

Here's hoping things go well tomorrow. At worst, it'll be a good practice interview.

So glad you had a lovely day. You deserve it!

[przed.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks. I don't know about deserving it, but I certainly needed it. *g*

Thanks on both counts.

And a belated happy birthday yourself!

Happy belated birthday! Sorry I missed it. :-)

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And no worries on missing it.

Mmmmm, Holmes icon. *g*

birthday!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a really lovely day (white chocolate mousse cake .... mmmmmmm).

Good luck for the interview! {{}}

Re: birthday!

The cake is the Best Cake Ever. Ros isn't really a cake fan, and she's been demolishing a pint-sized piece every night.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Yay! Sounds like a lovely day!
*hugs*
Mmmm, mousse cake... nom, nom, nom!

Best of luck with the interview!
*hugs*

The day was lovely, the cake is yummy, and the interview seemed to go well. Here's hoping...

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

*fingers crossed*

Happy birthday!!!

I haven't looked at the vid yet because that expression in TDK? "Some men just want to watch the world burn." THAT'S how I've been feeling the last few days (stupid PMS + being sick).

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

And I hope you're feeling better soon.

Also, good luck on the interview.

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Wow, an interview already! Go you! As you said, it's good practice at the very least. I bet you wow them, though. (I may be biased. *g*)

And yay for happy birthdays! It sounds perfect to me, all things considered. Family, good food, thoughtful gifts, and sleep! What could be better? Long may it continue! (Except maybe for the sleep bit, as you do rather hope you get the job, if you'd like to get the job. (Remember, you're interviewing them as well! *g*))

[przed.livejournal.com]

Well, it seemed to go well. And the job sounds right up my alley. Here's hoping.

[miwahni.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed for the interview, hope it goes well for you.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It seemed to go well...

Good luck with the interview!

Thanks!

[gina-stormgrant.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday. Glad to hear it was a good one.

Did you ever hear from CTC?

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

No word from The Tire, but then they got the version of my resume that wasn't the finely honed piece of prose it is now.

I'll keep an eye on the site and see if anything else turns up. Do let me know if you hear of anything interesting.

belated gift

Yo, zed. Happy belated birthday. I put a gift up for you at my journal - hope you enjoy. I've been away from LJ for so long that I don't know how much you're still into this fandom, but such as I have, I offer thee... ;)

[erushi.livejournal.com]

Extremely belated (I've been away travelling, ack!), but here's wishing you a lovely and smooth-sailing year ahead. I'm glad to hear that your birthday was an enjoyable one. *hugs*

[przed.livejournal.com]

And an extremely belated thank you! Fingers crossed for a smooth-sailing year.

*hugs back*

I'm so glad to hear that you had such a great birthday and I really hope the interview went well. ♥

[przed.livejournal.com]

The birthday was lovely. The interview seemed to go well, but I've yet to hear back from them. Oh well, on to the next job application.
