Mutti Chronicles

Green garlic bread is not a good thing. So for the second time we found green garlic bread. From the same store. Same brand. Bought the first loaf, opened it, found it to be green, threw it away. Reported it to the store. They gave us a free one. Brought it home. Opened it. IT WAS GREEN TOO! Reported it a second time. They said they’d check all the loaves. Hope they do. Won’t be buying that brand again. However it may not be the brand’s fault. It may be the store’s fault. Congrats to A for passing!

She had the nerve to ask me why I didn’t finish college after 3 years (like I should feel guilty about that). In the 70’s it was honorable to get married and go with your husband to the place where his new job was. Then once you left the state, you can’t afford the tuition.

So I go to my job interview on my birthday. At the hospital. The place is extremely white and sterile looking…what else? My interviewer was just so perfect looking. You know, perfect hair that never moves, perfect nails, perfect eye makeup, you know the rest. She started asking me questions about my current job (fair enough). Then she started asking questions about my best and worst personality traits. (Not what I would expect)! Then I had to go into a bad situation and a good situation at my current job and explain how I would handle each situation. Then the killer, why do I want to work here? The other killer, why don’t I want to work THERE anymore? Too mind boggling for my birthday! All the while I kept thinking that she had just graduated from human resources school or something. Hey I just wanted to scoop applesauce onto patient”s plates, not euthanize them. I guess they have to make sure they’re not hiring an axe muderer or something. Oh well. At the end of the interview I thought to myself how much I should appreciate my job THERE.

News of yesterday’s interesting job interview later…

Today is my birthday. We had dinner at Applebee’s. Steak skillet is good, but they should leave the cheese off. Todays big decision: Should we get red or blue carpet for my bedroom? When we were at the carpet store, we got some samples, and the first sample is the color of the inside of my husband’s mini-van, the other color we chose was the outside color of the mini-van. Both a shade of red. That’s it for now.
