Well, the job interview went fine yesterday. Thanks, everybody, for your encouragement.
I’m now in the waiting stage, but I do know this: it’s a project assignment that has a scheduled end, and that’s okay. It’ll be more experience and additional collateral for my portfolio, and the team members seem genuinely nice. Hold on to your hats—I’ll have more news later.
[UPDATE] I was offered the project assignment. It’s scheduled until the end of November with the possibility of an extension if I prove myself awesome. The baby will have to stay in north Texas as I get adjusted to a new work schedule. We’ll Face Time each other from my office and his daycare playground.
Lovelinks opens today. Please spread the word and link up your own best post of the past week.
Meanwhile, I’ll be scouring the Internet for what to do when one sibling has the birthday blues when it seems as though her younger brother is getting all the attention and all the loot this week, even though for her birthday exactly six months ago, she was getting some good attention and quite a bit of loot. Her sadness is pervasive, and I think it goes beyond birthday blues, so Q and I are doing what we do best as parents: we are buying her new shoes. What girl can’t be cheered up by a package from her biggest fans, especially when the package bears the Nike swoosh?
[UPDATE] Project Cheer Up was a success. Jordan is waiting by the UPS portion of our front porch for her package, and I also swapped out her 8 GB iPhone for a 32 GB iPhone. Mommy and Q understand retail psychotherapy more than anyone else on this Earth.

Hey Erica – congratulations on all fronts – though this working business is really messing around with my blogging! Am about to link up now.
Don’t you hate when making money interferes with our time-sucks?

Bless your hearts! I’m glad you understand your baby girl so well. And most sincere congrats on getting a job offer! That’s fantastic! I hope it turns out to be an awesome experience for you and your family!
Jordan is a sweet girl, and prone to misunderstanding certain events/intentions. It’s my job to help her navigate the rough spots.
Thanks for the job assignment congrats! I’m excited.
Congrats on getting the assignment and the new phone!!

I also can’t link up. It’s giving me the same message – no backlink, even though it’s in there!
I took care of you, Andrea. Thanks for letting me know!

I have found shoes to be an excellent remedy. At our house we use Converse.
Yep, it’s worked already and the package hasn’t even arrived.

Glad to hear your interview went well. And shoes will definitely take her blues away!
I’m having problems linking up – it tells me I don’t have a backlink but I’ve already done that. Anyway, will try again later.
I got the call this morning that I got the assignment. Combining that news with new shoes and Mommy swapping out her iPhone for one with four times the storage, Jordan’s blues are looking quite pink this morning.
I linked you up this morning. You’re good to go.
