I'll show you Sassy

Since I'm sure everyone has been waiting on baited breath for me to blog, I'll say I'm sorry I've neglected writing. Sometimes it seems there's nothing going on and all I do is blog, and then when stuff actually happens I can't seem to get motivated to talk about it. This week was one of the latter (that word always makes me think of climbing things.)

First, the interview. Went well, won't find out anything until next week. On a side note about the interview- the day of my PA interview I went to all the Toledo TV Station's websites out of habit. Oh Shit! Was my response when I found an Editor job at a different station that had been posted for a few days.

I wish I had caught it earlier because then I could have sent out a tape that day and possibly been able to get my dream job. But no, I'm a procrastinator and although I'd been thinking about putting a resume tape together, I never actually got around to it.

So this week I've been frantically putting together stuff for a tape. It's kinda weak, but I edit so much it's hard to remember what my best everyday stuff is. The tape is in the mail, I hope they get it by Friday.

And since this editor job is my dream job I know there is no way in hell I'll get it. This will be the third time I've applied for a job at this station and they've yet to respond back to me. Even though I'm buddies with their weather guy and a reporter ::sigh:: So I'm still pinning my hopes on the PA gig, at least maybe I can get my foot in the door in Toledo.

Secondly, I've decided it may be for the best if JR and I don't attend any more weddings until after we're married. I know people are bound to ask me about our plans, (which are basically none at this point) but it's so much worse when you are at an actual wedding.

We went to one this weekend in Mt. P, we knew almost no one except for JR's parents and some people JR used to work with at college. So here I am sitting next to a woman I've met maybe once before and I'm about ready to knock her lights out.

In all fairness she's a nice woman, but she doesn't understand the phrase "we haven't made any plans yet." The questions were endless, starting from the moment she learned of our engagement and throughout every event at the wedding. I made it through "what color are your bridesmaid's dresses?" and "how are you arranging the seating?" but by the time she got to "Oh! What song are you going to dance to?" I'd had enough.

On top of that JR was saved from this torture since I was sitting in-between acting as a buffer. When the song question came up I'd decided that JR should share this misery so I tried to focus the attention on him. I didn't mean to start an argument, but I did. We've had a song for 6 years, and I do like it even though I would have never chosen it to start with. But JR was so sweet about it when he first shared it with me and said it made him think of me, that I felt it had to be "our" song.

Apparently JR wasn't aware that this was my thought process on "our" song and was hurt that I joked about it being "forced" on me. I'll admit I didn't phrase it right. Point is that we're not ready to discuss these things in private, let alone in front of friends and family. We worked it out and the good news, we managed to keep the song a secret and it shut that woman up.

Score one for the Jill-O!
