Things may be looking up on the job front. My interview this morning seemed to go very well. At the beginning of the process, I was telling the sales manager why I'd be a good fit for the job - by the end of the interview, he was telling me why he thought I'd be a good fit for the job. So that's probably a good sign. On the other hand, he has five more people to interview, and had just finished interviewing an older woman. I think I'm just about at the age where it ceases to matter, but I've been passed over for less qualified but more "mature" candidates before. Also, being as I was talking to a salesman, there is the possibility that he was just being pleasant, and is not actually considering hiring me at all. Still, much better than the tits-are-bad guy.

Also, managed a song about Ochun for the Children's Ritual last night -- I was getting a bit worried about whether or not that was going to occur. Unlike for some of us, creative work frequently does not come on command for me. It's more like a lightning strike than like a trained dog. But lo, not one, but two possibilities. I expect it will all turn out well though -- when searching for an image of Ochun as Our Lady Caridad del Cobre, I found this piece:
.
Some confusion about what any of this has to do with her, as the explanatory text had a lot to do with generic feminine mystery stuff, but hey. We take our omens how we find them, and the barn owl is always good to me. They do look a little like fluffy white vultures when they're little, though, don't they?


In other news that makes me giggle, I apparently gave chronarchy his first ever hickey. That's hospitality, or service, or some other virtue. :)
