"I wanna break free, I wanna make it"


So I twittered, a few days ago about a job interview...How exciting. I got the interview thru people who knew people who knew me. The position is for a Personal Assistant. "Marcie" is a prominent woman in the community who serves on several boards. One of those boards is for a celebrity, who my husband adores. Part of my job would be to plan parties. She wasn't specific whether the party would be on belaf of the certain celeb or her husbands business. But Berg is super excited, because he thinks he might get to meet him....


Anyhow.... I pulled up to the house, knowing it would be nice, but not expecting something you would see on Cribs! It would be soo nice to have a house like that! So we have the interview, a long interview, almost an hour! (I hate interviews that are like 20 minutes.) It ends, that she has never had a "Personal Assistant" before, so she needs to speak with her husband about how much they can pay me. She says she will call me the next day. I leave.


She didn't call. So I call her 2 days later.

Awkward moment #9321: Calling your prospective new boss to find out if you got the job, but she hasn't called because she's too busy going to the celebrity's board meeting!


I call her with the plan to say I was calling to see if you spoke with your husband and to see if you had any questions, but I got cut off before I could get the last part out. She says that she was to busy going to one of her board meetings, and didnt get to speak to him, and then he had a meeting the next night. I then try to stick in, I'm so sorry to bother you, I guess I'm just really excited to work for you. She replied, its ok, I'm just really really busy.


This lady was the nicest person I ever met. She seemed really honest and like she really wanted me to work for her. I don't think she would lead me on. And I don't think money would be an issue. I just hope she calls soon. It's driving me nuts! And I hope I get the job!

I hope you get the job too!! Would you only be planning parties, or doing other stuff as well? She should have called back by now?
