Your Score: Older Futhark

You scored

Language of the Norse, Older Futhark! Thirty symbols, all told. And no hardier, more warrior-like tongue has ever graced the longships of the Viki or left the Celts and Saxons in such quivering fear. There's only one drawback, that being you died 800 years ago.

Suddenly things turn around

I had a bad day yesterday; it was very hard to stay motivated to keep looking for jobs to apply for, read job hunting books, and generally think about how useless I feel at the moment. I started to wonder if it would just be easier to stay home with younger daughter M for a year to regroup and decide what to do with myself, possibly either finally getting around to my yoga certification or perhaps looking into going back to grad school to finish my masters. Then I started to beat myself up over choosing the 'easy' route.

But today two of the jobs that I have sent resumes and letters to apply for, in fact a majority of the jobs I have actually specifically applied for to date, called me back within an hour of each other today to ask me for an interview tomorrow. And therefore I suddenly have two interviews tomorrow. [Yes, I've only gotten three resumes and cover letters out for specific jobs...that's the thing about wanting part time...though I have two more to apply for tomorrow that I have found since.]

I have my interview clothes hanging on the front of my closet. I have the jewelry I am going to wear set out on top of my jewelry box. I have copies of my references sheet and my recommendations from linkedin.com printed out, and ready to go with me, along with a copy of the letter I sent and my resumes for the two different jobs.

Life is weird.
