I felt today’s interview (#3 with Apple) went pretty well. I’m always amazed at what some of the questions are and the insights they can get you. Sometimes it’s the simple ones that are tough – Talk about a time when you had to take things into your own hands.

I was totally stumped. I bumbled around and then told the guy that what I’d come up with probably wasn’t a good example, and that I was having a tough time with the question. (Then it occurred to me – it’s because you do that all the time. It’s not a unique moment in your life. You don’t wait around. You just DO. Ahhhhhhh!) When I summarized that for the interviewer he said – oh, so that’s part of who you are. Ahhhhhhhh! Yes!

what an interesting moment.

Will know sometime between Thursday and Sunday. The Apple store is due to open on Sept 28.

Got the fabric needed to make borders for the raffle quilt – now in iteration #6. Dropped it off with Pat and had a nice visit in her office. Had forgotten what it was like. Also visited with Nancy Holmes. Saw another CopyCenter customer who told me how much he missed me (after three years!) because the people there now won’t collate his weekly stuff. They’ll copy it, but won’t collate it. How stupid is that? Mind you, it’s the MACHINE that does the collating and stapling, not the people.

Probably didn’t learn how to do that. duh.

went to staples to buy CD-R because I am having a CD burning problem that I can’t get past. Thought I’d try a new batch (didn’t work).

Of course all the back to school stuff is out.

Best find of the day (no not the 200 sheets of wide rule paper for twenty-nice cents!): a lime green notebook. Bound type. “The Original Marble Cover – 100 sheets” of GRAPH PAPER.

Yes! For 99 cents apiece, I bought two.

I love working on graph paper and then hate myself for ripping out pages! Often those sheets form the working outline of my design and construction process.

Came home, wrote my thank you letter. Been vegging out since then.

Tomorrow – The Impressionists at the Clark Institute!
