between the snow yesterday (that didn't last long but looked pretty for a couple hours) and the temp (in F) when I woke up, now it feels like the holiday season

although I won't at all be surprised if somehow we have some mind 50-60 degree days in Dec considering how much of a roller coaster the weather has been this year

anywho, workday 2 of a 3 day week and I'm so ready for the long weekend

I found out yesterday afternoon that they went with someone else for the position at work. which is fine

the important part is that I tried and I didn't talk myself out of it or let anxiety psyche me out

I did the scary thing and it was far less scary! and I gained a lot of information from the process and interviewing, so now I have a better idea moving forward of both what would be required of similar in the future and what I do/don't want to do if possible

granted that jump in pay would have made a huge difference so that part really sucks. but, never know when a different opportunity will show up

and truthfully the extra money wouldn't have changed the stress level, especially if my mom ends up having another back surgery early in the new year. so realistically my current position is for the best while things try to settle as much as they can at home and we figure out a new normal

(it's 66°F here right now. I can't even imagine 16...)

i'm sorry you didn't get the position but omg that is too damn cold, wtf
