Okay so now we get to the truth....

Hello People!

I don't know if you all know but I am among the ranks of the unemployed unfortunately I am in the company of millions of other people, which means I am not alone BUT it is not exactly the best company to be in. ANYWAY... I had an interview with the County and I thought it went well, but I always do. SO today I got a phone call and a message was left for me because I didn't hear the phone ring that they chose to go with someone else. SO I called them and asked because I wanted to know, "Did I do something wrong or say something wrong or what is the problem, is it me?" As I said I wanted to know because I keep applying with the County and get the interviews but never seem to "close the deal" as it were. The lady was kind enough to answer this question for me I told her it was for me personally because I didn't understand....She said, "Oh no, you were very confident, you were in the highest percentile of those interviewed and we want to keep your resume on file, which we are not doing for everybody only a few, and you answered all of our questions appropriately, even the question I threw in there...you answered spot on a couple of people picked up on that..." I guess the question she "threw in" was a trick question but I still answered it correctly.... She couldn't say EXACTLY why I didn't get the position she only could give me positive feed back on the interview process that I went through... Based on the foregoing it is apparent to me that I was meant to do something better. (I had said that if they offered me the job I was going to take it whether it was the Justice Court or the County Attorney's office...still waiting on the County Attorney's office but....) If you can't tell me what I did wrong and can only tell me that I am in the highest percentile for interviewing and answered all the questions directly AND correctly something better is meant for me.... That is my conclusion and I am sticking to it!

Onto better things I saw Julie & Julia with my friend J (thanks J for the free ticket and popcorn) and my nephew and sister. It was a good movie, I was pleasantly surprised and I would recommend the movie as a go see or purchase. I might even buy it. The other thing I am compelled to buy now is Julia Childs cookbook... I really enjoyed the movie and I kept saying during the movie HEY THAT IS ME! The blog was me and the cooking was me and I think it was talking to me! What do you think????

I need to get serious and figure out what I was put on this earth for...time is ticking and I am getting old and whatever it is I am suppose to do I want to be able to do it well and enjoy it!

See ya when I see ya!

Peace! Mattie
