Okay - I admit - I totally giggled when I read that. But I thought that was more of a spousal thing.

Just when I was feeling really low and unwanted by the corporate world, I got a phone call from (a bank that uses horses in its ads) for a second interview! (I did the phone interview MONTHS ago and was supposed to hear back from then w/in a week or two, but never did). For the personal b'ker job. (abbreviated to reduce web searchability, but you guys can probably guess who and what I'm talking about)

Budweiser has a bank?

It's true. They are the King of Banks.

Hmm... I wondering if I've ever been "asked" to be a girlfriend or if I've ever "asked" anyone. I guess I've always gauged it by whenever I felt comfortable saying it, or he said it to someone outside. If the other person say "my friend ____" then I dunno.

I'd say that if you're wondering, if you're not there, you might be close.

A mild happy, but always nice to mention nice things...

So I got two emails of interest today. The first is from the lady who runs a group I'm involved with, mentioning a super secret special project that they need 100 people for. I think/hope, given the timing of the thing, that that means there will be space for me to participate, and I'm SUPER excited about that prospect! Unfortunately, I will not be able to divulge any details until after the fact.

Second is that I got an email from a Company recruiter asking if I was still interested in a part time assistant position I'd sent my resume in on a few months (or something, don't remember) back. Well hey, she could have looked at the resume and thrown it out, so chalk up one for being contacted, and another one for my enthusiastic response. Yeah, so it's CR... but I'm a CR now, so no loss there and a step-up in position/responsibility. Maybe I'll even get to interview for this one.

And this concludes another episode of Moderately Cool News...

I have good news that I think I can actually divulge now.

I fell in love with a high concept pet boutique that is located in downtown LA and approached them maybe 9 months ago about opening a Long Beach location. It has gone from "who is this woman on crack" to "we're interested, can you give me a tour of LB" to "looking for locations" to "signing a lease for a store on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore". The lease was signed yesterday, the keys are ours tomorrow, the built-out starts immediately and our opening date is October 1. I'm so excited I could scream but I'm also scared shytless. Change is good but man is it scary! But, this combines all of my loves into one great package. So, it's back to work full time for me (and Thurston gets to come to work too!). Check out the web site.

We'll be having a big opening party and I hope all of you locals can come.
