I just finished installing Vista on my Notebook. I would never have spent the money on it, but since I got a free upgrade when I bought it, I figured why not. This is my “clean” computer, meaning I have the basics on it (email, browser, office, and basic webdesign stuff) so I wasn’t worried about losing any function.

It’s okay. It’s trying a little too hard to be like a Mac OS, but whatever. It’s pretty and extra “user friendly” which I guess is helpful.

So anyway, I had a very nice phone interview with someone from a company that is hiring for an online, work at home position on Tuesday (yes, it’s a legit job, and a legit company. I’ll share it after I know if I have the job or not) and the woman I spoke to was great, and I think she liked me too. I got a call today to go in for an in person interview (but I missed the call, dangit - I was waiting for it all day and the one time I walk away from my cell for 5 minutes to check the mail, they called!) so I get to call back tomorrow first thing and set up a time to drive up to L.A. for a tour of the actual office, meet the people I’d be working with via my computer and have a real interview. The person I spoke to yesterday as well as the message I got today sound extremely promising, and I am hopeful.

I also expect to hear back from one of the other places I interviewed this week by Friday. I am hopeful about this one too. The thing about both of these positions is that they will work well together scheduling-wise, as well as allow me to take more classes at school. I will actually be able to graduate before the decade is over without getting stressed out at work. Getting one of the positions will help immensely, but both would be a dream come true for me right now.

Send me good vibes!
