Mid-Week Check-In
It's Wednesday and we're half way through the week. How's everyone doing? Updates on interviews? Any other work or life updates?
My week has been going really slowly. I'm excited for Friday and Saturday so of course the rest of the days are crawling. Friday is my first doctor appointment and Saturday I'm registered for the local Color Me Rad 5K (I'm hoping my doc says I can still walk it.)
Work was kind of crazy yesterday. I'm hoping for a more relaxed day today. I've got a test in my night class tomorrow. I really need to pass it and I am not at all comfortable with the material.
Re: Mid-Week Check-In
Work is dead. Bored as heck. No activity on Facebook, here, or any of the other sites I keep up on. Trying to avoid the local paper (online) until lunch so I have something to read then. Nobody really here in the office either.
Nada lined up for interviews. I guess that kinda works out anyway. Within the next year (or a little over), I need to use about all of the 4 weeks of vacation that I get. Would suck to be starting from zero on that one. The only bad thing is it keeps us stuck in our current house.
Since I'm bored......why is it that people in gym locker rooms seem to have no modesty? I don't care if you have the same parts I do, I don't want to see them!
Not seeing why this early in your pregnancy that you wouldn't be able to still do the 5k?
Why do people in the locker room do that? That's a great question. I am a modest person at the gym. I either use the changing room of a shower stall or the really big bathroom stall.
Well I'm hoping I can still do the walk. I haven't been keeping up with my workouts like I should. If I had been, I wouldn't be worried about it. I'll ask her. They say walking every day is good when pregnant. But I'm not sure if walking 3 miles is what they had in mind.
Work is really slow for me today. I keep checking Facebook and there isn't anything new.

Not much going on today. I have a semi busy day at work planned. DH and I are going to check on the house tonight and see if they have started anything else on it.
I totally pouted to myself last night because I cannot get DH to change his mind on not using condoms right now. I may just drop the subject all together and attempt to focus on something else. Then I may decided to wait until this time next year to start trying... I dont know I'm up in the air on it.
Good luck on the interview today Tara!
Me too. I end up feeling the like I'm never good enough by the time they're done with me. Also get nervous as heck before them wondering what off the wall question they're going to ask.
Thank you!

I have no idea! Not sure about the ladies locker rooms, but the gym I go to had a couple branches. One branch the locker room has an isle down the middle with rows of floor to ceiling lockers coming off it. So I usually just go down to the end and change there while aiming for the slower periods of the day.
Another branch kinda looks like an H. Half the H has floor-to-ceiling lockers and the other half only goes waist high or so. The third branch I go to just has the lockers around the outside wall and a small thing of wait high ones in the middle. Apparently, whomever designs these things don't understand that some of us are self-conscious or just don't want to see everyone else.
I think you'll be fine....:) Then again, I can't get pregnant, so what do I know?
*listens to the crickets*
I get nervous too and try my best to prepare but then when I leave the interview I usually realize that I wasn't asked one single question on the information I prepared myself for. It's annoying. Plus, I hate getting dressed up in my interview suit. UGH! I just hope someone will hire me soon!

The ladies locker room here is more like an E shape so if you go to the far back row you would think it would be private. It seems like everyone has that idea as it's usually the busiest row.
Good luck Tara! Hopefully your interviews will be over soon.
Oh, and I don't see any reason that you can't run if you are in shape. I always heard that if you did it before, you can do it during. There is a woman in my ballet class who kept going until the 5 month mark, and that is much more dangerous than running.
Work: is going ok I guess. They haven't sent me home early like they did the past two weeks. It is also making the week last longer because for the past 2 weeks I only worked 28-30 hrs.
Interviews: I don't have any more interviews scheduled right now and that is not a good thing since I haven't been able to get hired anywhere yet. I am applying to a third school district and hoping something may come of that.
I totally agree with both of you on the interview process.
