I have a job interview of sorts today. It came about casually. Met “the boss” at a BNI (business networking) meeting last week, and he kind of loved me, wrote notes to me during the meeting, told me he could probably help me out, that sort of thing. It’s an insurance company for travelers, both in Israel and abroad, mainly specializing in health care. And it’s a big company. A good one. I’ve bought from them before. Last week, in fact. Renters’ Insurance. So…why do I feel nervous? I tried to confirm the interview by emailing him politely. Never responded. Yes, it’s Israel. I saw him write the appointment in his diary when I was with him, so, like, I should just show up, right? And who knows if there is an actual job for me…it could be an informational thing…or a nicety. He made it seem like he doesn’t like some person who is working for him now is some position, and wouldn’t I like to take her place….whatever.
I’m going to shower. I’m going to dress well. I’m going to get there early. I’m going to eat something for breakfast.
And then it will happen.
And afterward, I go for Chinese medicine and acupuncture! Hoorah! I love those days. I only wish my income was more stable because every time I do something like this…acupuncture, see my therapist, it’s hard for me to really enjoy it because I wonder how much longer I’ll be able to afford it, or whether or not I’m already going into debt over it. These are currenly quite necessary expenses for me…so maybe I’ll just really go for that job today. Who knows? It could be the best thing to ever happen to me.
Until I get the book published, that is. Time to grow some balls, darlin’!
Enjoy this video that never ever fails to make me smile (it may not let me embed, but go to the link!)…Good day to you all!
