So I had this dream last night that I found out only one other person was being interviewed for this job I applied for. And it turned out to be Arthur Sales, the Brazilian model. Why, I have no idea. Who knows where dreams come from, you know?

So I was telling all these people he might look pretty but he doesn’t know how to do X, Y, and Z in the department like I do. And in the dream, he was winning everyone over with his good looks and charisma and I was so devastated that I didn’t think I’d get the job. I hope this isn’t a bad omen for my interview tomorrow.

On the other hand, Ash had a dream that he did get the job he just interviewed for. I am somewhat superstitious about things like this. If I write it down, will it jinx me? Maybe things just happen for certain reasons.

For example, last night I had a very humbling experience. We got home a tad early so we could dress up the kids and go take Santa pictures. We got to the mall at 5:25 but realized Santa takes a break between five and six. Sigh. So we puttered around and then went back to the little set up and stood in the line they usually have set up. As we waited, we saw that there was a different wrap-around line. When it was six and Santa showed, turns out that was the line and I was pretty damned pissed. I have to say, I grumbled about it like a baby and I should have been more adult about it. We got into the line and I was still saying that they should have had some kind of sign indicating the line. It was at that point that the three families in front of us said we should go first since we’d been waiting longest. Their kindness was so humbling I nearly cried. I was a bitchy little brat about the line and I didn’t deserve that at all. I wish I could have given them all some kind of thank you note for being so nice to us. It definitely made me rethink my behaviour when it comes to situations like that. I tend to get bitchy and I see now I need to amend myself.

I would say this should perhaps be my New Year’s Resolution but I am against those. Mostly because I don’t think people should try to change just because it’s the start of a new year. Shouldn’t we always be trying to better ourselves? If I don’t allow myself to do it just during this time of year, then I’ll be more likely to make a change at any time. If that makes sense.

Do you make resolutions? If so, how often have you stuck with them? I’m really interested to know.
