!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In case you couldn't tell from the title, I am a bit excited today. You see, I just landed my DREAM job as a librarian! About the middle of August was when things with my coworkers started really getting bad and I decided to be proactive and look for another job. I went to every city in Cache Valley's website searching for library jobs because that is where I have wanted to work for ages! And it paid off. Hyrum City Library was hiring so I ran my resume up there. The job was open until September 7'th so I knew I had a while to wait. Well, September 7'th came and went and I was sure that I hadn't gotten it. I had put it completely out of my mind when I received a call from them asking me to interview. I was freaking out excited while trying to tell myself to calm down and not get my hopes up (yeah right). The interview... was... less than perfect. There was a guy and a girl interviewing me and the guy was kind of a grump. They told me that they had tons of people apply and that they had been doing interviews all day long and they were exhausted from them. So by the time they got to me they were sick of interviews. I honestly felt like Katniss when she is trying to show off what she can do to the judges but they have watched so many people before her that they are bored, only, I couldn't shoot an apple out of a pigs mouth to impress my interviewers like she did. Anyway, I came home and cried knowing that I had blown it. Much to my surprise, I got a call the next day asking for a second interview. What the?! Yay! The second interview went much better. It was just the girl this time and I thought I did awesome (not to toot my horn or anything though). I was still really nervous though because she told me that she had it narrowed down to four people and she was having the hardest time deciding between them. However, I knew that I had done my best and wouldn't have any regrets, which is always a good feeling. She told me that I would hear from her within 24 hours about her decision. I was sweating bullets. So yesterday I hadn't heard from her by the time I got off of work (never a good sign) so I called her up to ask if she had made a decision. She had. I didn't get the job. And if that didn't hurt she also told me that I had made it to the final two but the other girl had library experience. I was crushed. I couldn't believe that I was one person away from my dream job. I was sooo close. I allowed myself exactly two tears in the arms of Justin and then I pulled myself together and decided to get over it.

But don't worry. It has a happy ending remember? Today I got a call back from the librarian saying that it didn't work out with the other girl and that the job was mine. Ahhhhhhh! I don't know what happened with the other girl, all she said was, "Well, I guess everything happens for a reason right?", but I am so excited! She is seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met and I am really happy to be working for her. She even is okay with me finishing the days that I am scheduled for at the hotel because I didn't want to leave them hanging. So what does this mean for me? Well.....

Quiet Atmosphere
ALL HOLIDAYS OFF
