About The Job. You don’t know the one I mean? No, of course you don’t know the one I mean, because I didn't mention it to anyone (sorry, but that means the Internet, too), on account of the Jinx Gods. Oh, and P.S., IT'S THE ONLY POTENTIAL JOB I'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT SINCE MOVING TO FRANCE. Yes, that job. Can you see where this is going?
Last Friday, I inquired as to my application status for The Job, only to hear via email, just now, that THEY HAVE COMPLETED A ROUND OF INTERVIEWS AND ARE NOW FILING APPLICATIONS. Are you kidding me? I didn’t even qualify FOR AN INTERVIEW? Why is there no chocolate in my apartment? Why is there no chocolate in Jeanne’s apartment? Why is that rug I need to buy not buying itself and climbing up the stairs? And what’s up with the title of this post?* Nothing. makes. any. sense.
*The French expression for "having the blues" is avoir le cafard--literally, “to have the cockroach.” Now that, I may have to concede, makes some sense.
Been there, done that!
I applied, of all things, to be a manager of a yarn store. Not only have I been a manager before, but I knit! PERFECT MATCH!
Then I got the "we're sorry, but other applicants more closely matched our search" email. I felt like my heart was ripped out, and someone had done a little jig upon it. ARGH!
Here's to hoping the next one's the one!

I am so sorry to hear about the cockroaches. I feel your pain. The only offers I have received are the ones where they want me to work for free. Do I look that desperate? (yes, I do)

Ahhhhhhh, that's why I'm going to stay in school forever, because I don't like rejection like that, even in the context of the job hunt.

Drink slowly as you take in the beauty of this magical city where you live. Know that it is all going to work out. It is. An even better job waits for you around the corner . . gros bisoux

Something MUCH better will come along. Trust me. Everything happens for a reason. (Or at least that is what I tell myself when bad things happen.) My fingers and toes are crossed that you will now find your dream job.

Your kind comments mean so much to me, everyone. Thank you. Chocolate has been consumed. And, Bluepoppy, you write good prescriptions--red wine and a view of the city seemed to put things in perspective.
Posted by: Coquette | 02 February 2005 at 10:16 AM
Oh, my dear! I know this feeling. I have a stack of over 100 letters, I am not kidding, stating the exact same thing or something along those lines. Keep that chin up, soemthing will come along... especially when you're not expecting it. I was sitting in a restaurant balling my eyes out to my friends because my hubby and I had gotten in the biggest fight ever (packed my bags to head home and everything). So in the midst of this I pick up a Korean newspaper and voila! There was my job!
Funny how things work out and the circumstances. Take care of yourself and let's get coffee sometime and I'll totally let you vent and then we'll go shopping? :)

It’s Amazing Male Enhancement Tablets
I am one of these people who never used to take the time to write a review on anything. But as there are a lot of questions floating around about Extagen, I thought I would put in my word.
When you read some of the reviews for Extagen, the first thing that crosses your mind is that it can’t be that great. There are so many false words out there when it comes to the subject of male enhancement so why should the rave reviews about this product be any different? Does Extagen work or is it all a scam?
Well I must admit, I have been burnt in the past by buying male enhancement pills on the strength of a good review only to find it was not as good as it claimed. In fact, I had tried a few male enhancement brands and was disappointed with the results.
So when I came across Extagen, I almost did not give it a second look. I had lost quite a bit of cash buying similar products already so why should Extagen be any different.
Just out of plain curiosity, I visited their website but the price was way too high for me $74.95 for regular one month supply and read all the claims and user feedback but it still all seemed too good to be true, I searched the net for better price than $74.95 then i found the website call http://www.extagen-canada.com they sale it for only $39.99 and they offer 120 days guarantee.
The only reason I decided to give Extagen a try was due to the guarantee they offer.
They were so sure that I would be pleased with the product that if for any reason I was dissatisfied, I had a whole 3 months to claim my money back with no questions asked. So I purchased thinking “If these pills don’t work within six weeks, I’ll get my money back and lose nothing!” This was the last chance I was ever spending money on this type of product. If it didn’t work, I would give up all hope.
Did the makers of Extagen refund my money? Nope, because I never asked for a refund. I was happy with the product. In fact, I was plain amazed with Extagen. Ok, I admit in the first 2 or 3 weeks I found it difficult to see if there was any change but by week 5, I had increased by about an inch. After taking Extagen for 16 weeks, I have gained 2 and a half inches plus an increase in thickness.
So the truth is this: I can personally say that you can believe the hype about Extagen. Not just a great product by the company is very discreet and they send the product fast. And it’s all topped with a three month money back guarantee. It’s risk free.

If anyone is willing to spend big dollars on hgh just to increase penis thickness.
I reccommend you buy a Vigrx plus to permanently increase penis length too while using the high
Penis pills
http://www.penisenlargementv.com
No vigrx plus doesn't make your penis thinner, actually thicker
If you are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on human growth hormone to increase
penis size then i reccommend you buy a Vigrx plus (You can ask a liscenced doctor about info on Vigrx plus)
