*crossing fingers*

So I haven't mentioned it here too much, but my job is horrible.

Let me take that back - my job is not so bad, I actually enjoy the work. However, all the bullshit that surrounds the job makes it damn near unbearable at times. I'm not one of those "i don't like that my desk doesn't have a window" type gals, or "she looked at me funny AND took the last cup of coffee!" gals either. There's been a TON of things that I cant even begin to explain here without turning this post into a novel. Most of which, when I tell anyone about, garner a "what th the f@#k is going on in your office?!?" reaction from people that don't work there, and a "Why am I not surprised they're F@#*k*%g something else up?" from those that I do work with it.

Basically....I need to get out. Soon. It's to the point where things are so bad that it's affecting my life outside of work, and I won't have that.

Unfortunately, the Michigan job market is not at it's best right now. I've been sending out 20-40 resumes a month and haven't heard much back. Just about everyone I know looking for a job has experienced the same thing.

Anyway.... back to the crossing fingers part.

About a month ago, a friend of mine at work told me that her husband, a firefighter for another city (I work for a small municipality) had a job posting for a clerk and asked her to pass the information along to me.

First step was to go down, apply, and take a typing test. Only those that passed the typing test would move on. Typing is not a problem, and I passed their minimum requirement by 15 words per minute.

Next step was a written test. Everyone that applied and passed the typing test was to take the written test. 104 people took the written test.

I just got a letter in the mail saying that I was in the top 20 scores of the written test, so that means I get an interview!!!

*happy dance*

They'll give everyone a score at their interview, combine that with their test score, and the top five combined scores will then interview with the department head that the job opening is in.

So any good wishes/prayers would be much appreciated! I'm so bad at interviews but I want this SO bad I can taste it.
