Selling yourself

Just another case of the Mondays.  Although today was a little bit different and nerve-wrecking, because I had an interview.

I tried to psych myself up all morning.  My stomach was full of butterflies as I ate my breakfast – a nutella sammie.

I was so nervous that I just felt like I had to be munching on something every second.  Some mid-morning trail mix hit the spot, as it had both crunchy and chewy elements.

I kept eating Oreos throughout the morning, too.  I definitely ate at least five.  I have GOT to get these out of the house.  They are a HUGE trigger food for me and always spell trouble.  I never learn!

At least I countered my unhealthy snacking with a healthy lunch.  A big salad, and Cran Bran Vitatop.

This was my first time trying this flavor of VitaTop, and I liked it!  The cranberries were really good – soft, rather than dried.

I left for my interview mid-afternoon.  Before I left, I grabbed two bars for my snacks.

Overall, I think the interview went pretty well.  I guess we will see what happens, but for now I’m just glad that it is over.  I have a really hard time getting psyched up to “sell myself” to people – whether it be trying to get a job or anything else like that.  I really hate cocky people, and have always tried hard to make sure that I am able to come across as self-confident but NOT cocky.  That’s a tough line to walk… especially at an interview where you really are nervous and a little insecure!  Oh well.  No matter what happens, I just keep reminding myself that each interview is a good experience and I should keep that in mind!

When I got home, I was exhausted and didn’t feel like cooking.  I reheated some leftovers from S’s dinner last night – a tupperware of rigatoni with pesto.  It was a huge portion and I meant to only eat half but… ended up eating the whole container.

Dessert was three Oreos.

Curse you, Oreos.  Oreos are my kryptonite.  Especially when they are double stuffed.

And looky, looky here!  I finally finished my Jelly Bellys tonight!!!

Can you believe that I made this Costco jar last for almost seven months!!!

Do you get really nervous for interviews?  Better question… does anybody not get nervous for interviews??
