Torn between two jobs, feeling like a fool.....

It sounds an unhealthy, repressive & entrenched work culture to me, Deb.
Ya know, another job might not be such a bad idea! I'd accept a pay cut for that! (if the culture was healthier)
Seriously.
Life is too short.

And may grasshoppers dance...









sez grasshopper.

Indeed!

Life is impoifect.

That's it! That's the crux of the problem!

A little more perfection would be rather nice, yes?

It would be as long as I could match it.........my own imperfections might cause trouble, she said biting her nails...

Deb! You may have chosen the wabbit as an avatar unconsciously to describe you tiredness.

Word of the Day: Wabbit (adjective)

Pronunciation: ['wæ-bit]
Definition: (1) Tired, exhausted; (2) off-color.

Usage: You will have a difficult time finding this word in most dictionaries; however, it is carefully tucked away in the Oxford English Dictionary and the citations below for 1973 and 1985 are enough to keep it current. The OED doesn't give us any information about this word's family: is the comparative "wabbiter" or "more wabbit?" May we behave wabbitly after exhausting work? Dare we use the default noun "wabbitness?" We will leave all these to your discretion.

Suggested Usage: August 5, 1973 the Dundee (Scotland) Sunday Post asked, "Been feeling a bit wabbit lately? Blaming it on the heat and the close, thundery weather?" That might well have been the end of it but then in 1985 Margaret Truman wrote in her mystery novel, Murder in the Smithsonian, "'I'm feeling a bit wabbit,' she said. 'Wabbit?' 'Not well.'" And didn't Elmer Fudd once say, after hunting Bugs Bunny for most of a cartoon, "I bewieve the wabbit is a bit wabbit." I'm not sure; my memory isn't what it used to be.

Etymology: We know little of the origin of today's word except that, of course, such an oddity must have come from Scotland (surprise, surprise). There is an old verb wap "to throw back, knock, flap" but the semantic connection is too weak to propose a connection. An old noun woubit "wooly bear" has been proposed but, again, physical evidence is lacking and the semantic motivation is thin, to say the least.

Dear Ms. Wabbit, perhaps it is time for a change--and a vacation.

Wonder what McTag would have to say?

How come?

I'm always nervous.

Yay!

Wanna borrow my best "interview outfit"? :wink: Just kidding, I'm pretty much seen in similar garb, at interviews or on the job. Of course, one is more sparkling at interviews, yes?

This is exciting, Deb! Are you seriously interested in this position?

Early in the morning is the best time for these things. The interviewers aren't yet jaded by the endless procession, so you will make more of an impact than poor old 3:30 pm. And you will be at your best!: not worn down by hours of anxiety. And it's all over & done with early! Very good!
