Note to self: Check the weather forecast before attempting a last minute outdoor birthday party.
It will save you the time an effort of calling and inviting people over the phone and then calling them and telling them the celebration is off the very next day. Turns out we are looking at rain and heavy thunderstorms for the next week here in dreary Erie, Pa. So, the zoo party is a no go, and since we have only a love seat here in the new place (you know, the one with all the room. and no furninture.) the party is postponed. Indefinitely. You see Sept 4th is Labor Day and I am not going to lump my child's first birthday in with a national holiday for convenience sake. So, that party will have to be after that I suppose.
On the bright side of the whole situation, we did find some great knight themed parties at Birthday Express(.com) and now we have time to order the things we really want instead of settling for the quickest or cheapest. Ack, a party in a box. I swore I would never do that, but gosh, it's great. It has everything we need (and more) for the party, the designs are awesome and the centerpiece lights up and makes sounds! Also, if we just buy the party in the box it kind of assures me that I won't forget anything important. Like plates or something. Putting off the party also allows me the chance to send out inviations and have people rsvp so I can find out how many dang hot dogs and hamburgers to buy. And it allows more people the chance to make plans to come, maybe it seems shallow but I want a bunch of people to be able to celebrate my son's birthday with him! Now I just have to find a cake decorator with an awesome castle theme or something.
Also, I have a phone interview for a job today. This would be an ideal job, because it is for working at home. I would set my own schedule and make a bit more than I am currently making working outside the home. I'm not so sure if telemarketing from my home is going to work with Baby T but it can't hurt to try. And there won't be any heavy sales involved, it's all inbound through a company I worked for several years ago, more order entry for pretty much the same stuff I worked with then. And I could keep my job as a Quality Assurance advisor for application specialists at my current firm. (Doesn't that sound snappy? Quality Assurance for Application Specialists... yeah, it's not really. I just make sure the telemarketers don't screw up, and that they follow all of the applicable laws. And I get paid LESS than them. Oh, the irony.) However, I heard on the lowdown that there is a management position opening up very soon and I am being considered. Yay! Must find printer cables to print out my resume. Even though they have it on file, must push more hardcopies under their noses to remind them that I exist and am a qualified candidate.
So, the sooner I get Baby T to go down for his nap, the sooner I can do my telephone interview. Off I go. Wish me luck!
