VIBES PLEASE! today is such a hugely important day for me...
and of course i have the head cold from hell. today is interview #2 at the clinic, and this is the job that's been waiting for me since the day i was born, no exaggeration. i started feeling kind of yuk yesterday, scratchy throat and runny nose, and this morning i woke up and BAM-- full-blown head cold, the kind where you're dizzy and your eyes feel like they're swelling shut, and a low fever. frick on a stick!
i know i can get through this and blow their goddamn socks off no matter how crapola i feel but it's making me really nervous that i feel so shitty right now that i can barely stand without getting woozy and i'm having a hard time thinking straight. and sooooo.... i turn to you mamas and ask you to send some vibes and energy in my direction. please please please send me the strength, clarity, and confidence to prove to them that they *need* me working for them, that their organization is incomplete without me.
my original plan was to power through the day and pretend i'm not sick, keep moving so i don't slow down even more, but now i feel so shitty that i'm afraid if i do too much i'll burn myself out and be a mumbling puddle of boogers at the interview, so i'll be on the couch with DD for a couple hours playing it cool until this afternoon when i head in for THE interview... i'm so ecstatic/nervous/dizzy i could whiz on this chair right now; in a good way, of course.

take your medicine two hour before the interview so that they're in full swing when you're in there, and the eye drops right before walking in. and TELL them you have a head cold, or they might think you look the way you do because you're hung over or some other unsavory reason. just casually mention it and move on.
good luck!
what madam filth said.
you are gonna do great!
let us know how it goes : )
i love you and go with a revised version of your original plan.
mantra in mirror suggestion:
i am healthy today, i am well inside and out.
keep saying this - do the couch thing, but keep sending wellness to yourself, you need to be physcially strong enough to get through the interview and land this job! it will take stamina to get through this interview, i suspect that it will last longer than expected, will it start late? interruptions? none of that matters, but here's what does:
and now my wish:
speedy recovery, good health today and always, nailing the job, saying all the right things, moving forward, no stress or fears. just do it.
let us know when you get it, because you will.
forever - your friend - CX
i DID adjust my mantra this morning, to something similar to what you suggested: i want this job, i deserve this job, and i am going to get this job, because my mind and will are stronger than this puny little cold.
i'm not sure what to expect for the interview length, but i know that the office i'll be interviewing at today is closed this afternoon so *hopefully* there won't be too many interruptions? either way, i'm geared up and ready to DO THIS THING.
thanks for your love and support!
proud of you for plowing through and getting down to business. this is sometimes what it takes! and it's totally worth it - you and i know that mantra's work! right on for posting about this, asking for support and mostly, for creating a state of wellness for yourself so you could get up and bag that dream job!
your time is now!
forever - CX
The cold is just the universe testing your resolve. And you are probably feeling more dizzy and stuff from excitement than from illness. I'm excited for you! Yay!

it's asking me "so, how bad do you REALLY want this job?"
Answer: bad enough that i'd crawl in and ace this interview even if i had two broken legs and was bleeding to death. but, um, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
I'm so stoked for you! I think you will be totally awesome, and don't forget that you are perfect for this job.
VIBES VIBES VIBES~~~~~~
You are going to do GREAT!

You want to do what you think is right and what matters to you, and if other people don't like it, as my father would have said, they can go fuck themselves. -- Amy Bloom
i'm about to take a nice hot shower to get my blood moving and then i'm off! the vibes are working, for sure, because i'm feeling confident and strong even though my body is like "meh"... i'll let you know how it goes.
<3
Super vibes, lady! You're gonna do great

wasnt sure if i should say anything but i think you're right; mentioning it briefly and then moving on is better than not mentioning why my face and eyes make me appear to have been crying for the last week straight. damn sinuses.
