n is for...

nudge. as in the nudge i need to write today. to continue the meme. oh heck i dk. i am at a loss. i spent the majority of my afternoon interviewing potential interns for the summer. so maybe n can stand for...

new. new jobs. new experiences. new. here is a recap of my afternoon. after yesterday morning. i would say today had a lot more excitement. more laughter. and more odd balls. luckily the really randoms that we called for interviews were phone interviews. so the handy dandy mute button was a key player in the afternoon activities. the best. where i had to bite my lip. the gal who described herself as a female gamer. that she was the head of her clan. and played halo3 all the time. and the other clan members made her jealous. as they were stay at home moms who got to game all day long. later on. when asked for long term career goals. she then went onto mention that her plan was to work from home, be a stay at home mom (not that there is anything wrong with that) and be a gamer. priceless.

the others. the girl who avoided the answer for her biggest weakness. she instead turned it on how she gets frustrated by others weaknesses. a little self indulged. then mr. sarcasm. or lack of. my interviewee partner and i. we = funny. we have whit. very personable. i mean we make this a nice experience. your nervousness should be checked at the door. a few blotches here (i am very familiar with) acceptable. not acceptable. not laughing at one joke through the entire interview. and then when we ask for your final statement. the one thing you would like us to know about you. he declares he is very sarcastic. wait a minute. did i miss something. was that his humor. baffled.

nebraska. it is my home away from home. being an army brat. we were constantly on the move. driving across the country. flying over seas. we did it at least every couple of years. so as the saying goes. home was always where the army sent us. my mother. a small town. nebraska girl. wanted brother and i to know our family. so we would spend the summers usually at granny's house. and by summer. i mean all three months. so the state of nebr. has had a big influence in my life. from the river trips. trying to learn how to water ski. learning the ins and outs of a cattle ranch. including horse back riding. brandings. camping. just really becoming a country girl. it has helped me stay grounded. as my mother always says. she wants me to be a well-rounded person. so maybe i have. i also enjoy watching the huskers play football. one of my favorite past times in the fall. and i think if i didnt. the family might disown me.
