Another quiet week. That sucks. Still waiting to hear back on the Gastonia job, as well as the position at Abbott. Apparently, the story on the latter position is that the guy is interviewing a crazy number of people for it – wants to be sure he gets right one, I guess. The recruiter has also submitted my resume for another validation position with Abbott. We’ll see if they want to interview me or what.
Having a bunch of folks over for dinner tonight, so I’m doing my usual thing to distract myself: cook 🙂 On the menu for tonight is Boeuf Bourguignon, as well as a simpler beef stew for folks that aren’t big fans of wine or mushrooms. There’s rumors of brownies for dessert, and I’m sure that Donald will be supplying some tasty wine. I had to pick up a Dutch oven, but it’s been something I’ve been wanting for quite a while – more stews for the winter, yay!
Not a lot planned for the weekend, except that we need to clear out by 11 AM tomorrow so they can show the house. Dan’s a bit grumpy, as this means an early wake-up for him, but I suggested we make use of the time to do…something. We’ll see what comes of that. Other than that, there’s the MFF staff meeting online on Sunday, and that’s about it. Crunch time is on the horizon!
Edit: Just got a phone call from Corn Products – they’re interested in possibly setting up an interview. Yeah! That was a call I was definitely waiting for. We’ll see when they want to do it; I mentioned I would already be up there at the end of the month.
Yay!! I hope you get the job.
I hope I get A job! 🙂
Go corn!
Bubba Gump
Corn fritters, corn pups, barbequed corn, corn patties, corn dogs, buttered corn, corn goulash…
Here’s hoping you get the job!
WooHoo!
Good luck, Dunc!
Still waiting to hear back on the Gastonia job
I haven’t been really keeping up with my friends page, so I just picked a few specific people to go read their recent journal entries, so this is the first time I’ve seen this. Gastonia, huh? Wow. That’s where I went to high school (Ashbrook). My family still lives in Belmont. You might consider Belmont if you wind up working in Gastonia. It’s much more convenient to Charlotte. Even Mount Holly would probably be worth a look.
Not that I actually went to Charlotte a lot growing up; mostly hung out at the Little Theater of Gastonia or did other stuff in Gastonia. But Charlotte definitely has more “life” depending on what you’re looking for.
Anyway, if things work out that way let me know. My sister’s been living in various places in Charlotte and eastern Gaston county for years and knows a lot about where to rent/own and all the recent stuff. Of course you may already have a lot of contacts with Sacred Stone.
Hope it works out for you. Hate to lose you from the triangle, but at least Gastonia is close and I’m down there a few times a year anyway.
