This last week has certainly been an interesting one for me. I had no work on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday due to the weird/massive October snowstorm and widespread power outages. We never lost power during it but many of my friends are still without power more than a week later. You would think only 2 days of work would be great - but somehow the short weeks always end up being even crazier. I had a job interview the day I went back (for a new position within where I work) and we might know the outcome of that by the end of this week. Then Friday night my boyfriend and I went out with some friends and I went to my first hockey game - our local AHL team. It was fun, but we lost. And now today is all about cleaning/grocery shopping/homework ugh.
Anyhow - to run down what was posted on the blog this week (this was sort of an Abraham Lincoln week):
- Review of Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard (I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one)
- A Virtual Visit/Trip Planner to Ford's Theatre
- Ranking Lincoln against other Presidents
Coming up this week we have some more US Presidents and First Ladies - John Adams/Abigail Adams and Dolley Madison.
And finally I have the winner selected for The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. And the winner is: Jessica Flinders! Congratulations! I will be sending an email out for your mailing information. Thanks to everyone who entered!
Hope you all have a great Sunday!

I didn't get an extra hour of sleep either :-(
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you didn't lose power. I can't believe some people are still without it!
Hope your week goes well. Good luck with the job!
Melissa - I know it is shocking. Most of my friends were told they would have it back by tonight, but a few were told this coming Wednesday. And with it being cold out their houses are getting down into the 40s. Thanks for the well wishes on the job - I thought the interview went well so we will see!
ReplyDeleteI know this is late but did you get the job? Hope so :)
ReplyDeleteJenny - I didn't get it :( but it's ok. One of my good friends actually got it and our director called me in to talk to me about my interview afterward - which left me with a very positive outlook. A lot is going to be happening in the near future at my job and he has his eye out for me to make a move - he said "just be patient".
ReplyDeleteAw :( Disappointing to be sure, yet your boss called you in and chatted. That's a great sign. That happened to me a few times, and it always worked out. Good luck :)
