asking more of the universe, with your help.
okay, so i've been hesitant to mention this, but here goes: i'm in the running for a REALLY cool job -- one that would spread great, frothing gobs of goodness and happiness across the land of sweetney and all it contains -- and though i'm terrified that simply by alluding to this i am (as jamie would probably claim) completely jinxing myself, do you think ya'll could send out psychic waves of TRACEY GETTING JOBNESS into the world as you go about your business this weekend? i mean, since you were clearly instrumental in getting my luggage back to me this past week, i figure a little extra positive energy from you guys might be enough to tip the balance in my favor...
i am on pins and needles, people. OUCH, MY BUTT.

What does one say to wish good job luck? Let's assume that's what I mean to say. (Good luck!)
Also - my six year old can never remember the phrase "pins and needles" - she favors "paperclips and scissors" or other variations on office supplies. Cracks my ass up.

dude! a job?? what, the glamour of being a full-time mother was too much for you?? heh. i'm wishing you luck. now tell us what the job is! the cliffhanger kills me...

i can say no more about the super top secret job, except that it is perfect for me and pays actual real live money.
oh and that if all goes well, at some point in the not-so-distant future i may have to have my laptop surgically removed from my lap.
but this is a price i'm more than willing to pay.
must now go throw up. or take a xanax. or both. WHEE!

Ok, so you don't know me AT ALL, but I think you're great and so, I'm sending positive vibes your way, hoping that you get what you want.

I'm happy to rattle the chicken bones to bring you a little extra luck!

I'm sooo chanting "sweetney gets the job, sweetney gets the job, sweetney gets the job..." over and over in my head.
We'll see how long that last, but even a few times can't hurt! :)
I'm sure they loved you anyways!

this is the sound of perfect job situation vibes coming your way.
woooo....

I will commence with a series of Wiccan ceremonies on your behalf this weekend. No animals will be harmed in these rituals. These will be VEGAN Wiccan Ceremonies, but of course.

whaa -- grace, are you going to sacrifice innocent vegetables in the name of me getting a job?!?!
AWESOME!!!! let the slicing and dicing commence!!!
Posted by: sweetney | January 28, 2006 at 01:11 AM
ps: i apologize to you all for the gratuitous use of exclamation points. its the xanax and vomiting talking.
(xanax and vomit say: !!!!)
(will somebody please just punch me in the face now? please?)
Posted by: sweetney | January 28, 2006 at 01:13 AM
I should have been more specific - I'm going to sacrifice the most foul, the most unclean, the most vile of all soybean products - SEITAN.
Posted by: GraceD | January 28, 2006 at 01:18 AM
Just remember, Tracey, vomit before Xanax otherwise it is total waste of a xanax. And that is just wrong.
I have no soybean products to sacrifice on your behalf for your job luck, but perhaps I can chant something get-a-job related until someone throws something at me. Then I will sacrifice that at the altar of good job vibes!
But really...vomit before xanax. For xanax lovers everywhere.

Good luck!

Did you hear that? That was me assuming you've already got the job. The call it visualisation. Athletes do it and while I am the opposite of an athlete, I feel entitled to steal their methods.

they'd be fools not to hire you. FOOLS!
you are getting all of my good vibes this weekend.
Posted by: rebounder | January 28, 2006 at 02:54 PM
oh man, you guys are gonna make me all weepy-stupid.
but seriously, with this much positive energy behind me, how can i lose?
MAMA DIDN'T RAISE NO LOSER, DAMMIT!
(and a voice in the back of my mind automatically intones: FAMOUS LAST WORDS.)

The job is yours!
Posted by: Gayla | January 28, 2006 at 11:53 PM
A little late to the party (as usual -- is there any booze left?), but I'll wish on a star, any white horses I see, my necklace pendant, and anything else I can think of that the hirers are smart enough to bring you aboard. Luck, be a lady -- tonight! (Or, soon, at least.)
Posted by: Editrix | January 29, 2006 at 01:09 AM
i am also contributing to the wave of positive vibes in this regard. fingers, toes, and other areas all crossed for ya lady.
