Did the interviews for my replacement this morning. We only had two applicants and one was a complete waste of time and resources. Applicant No.2 was a rather portly lad and turned up in a white shirt that was obviously too small for him. Halfway through he interview, one of his middle buttons opened and his hairy belly was showing for everyone to see. I couldn’t make eye contact after that. He had about as much knowledge of supporting a large network of PC users as I have of reconditioning a tractor engine. Needless to say, he didn’t score too well in the process.
Applicant No.1 on the other hand is the one we decided to go with. He too has never supported a large network of PC users but he had the confindence and the knowledge to do it. He presented well and interviewed well but time will tell if he can do the job or not. The boss wants to start him next week and I said that was fine so long as he (the boss) came back here to teach him about the department and the ins & outs of the job. I don’t have any problem showing him the ropes but it’s not me responsibility to welcome him to the department and let him know how everything works around here. I hope he works out for them. They said the only option left if he didn’t work out was for me not to go on maternity leave (joke). I said “Sure, but can I at least have a day off to give birth?” They said they’d think about it. HAHA! Good to know I’m loved. :D
Braxton bloody Hicks! I’ve been experiencing these for a few weeks now and they’re getting a little more intense. I don’t know if it’s because Bubs has grown or what but they’re pretty full on lately. On Monday I had 7 in a row. I thought I was going into LABOUR but it turns out I just overdid things a little that morning and spent way too long on my feet. I learnt my lesson though. Sitting on bum all day = good. Doing actual work = bad. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it. :)
I really think I’d recognise labour when it happens and I picture it to be 100 times worse than that. I’m not scared about labour. Yes, I’m scared about something going wrong but I don’t dwell on that. I try to think about the positive things like seeing our little man for the very first time in person and cuddling and kissing him and being able to take him home with us. I look forward to the first time we put him in his kick-ass car seat and I can’t wait to show him his beautiful bright bedroom. He’s not going to have a clue what he’s looking at as he can’t focus on anything further than 30cm from his face for a while but that’s just what I look forward to.
We are officially in the 3rd trimester today! :D
