I sent out a few resumes yesterday and already today I got a call for an interview which I also had today. I have to say the interview went quite well, my resume apparently indicates that I'm an interesting person and I was in his top 25 out of hundreds which he chose. At the end of the interview he told me he was impressed and all in all I'm quite confidant that I will hear from him again.

I did wear my wig to the interview and was somewhat self conscious about it before and after the interview, moreso afterwards. I know it's old and ratty and looks like black people hair the way it frizzes, I just figured if for any reason anyone asked about it I'd just say that my hair is extremely curly and I have to straighten it but my straightner broke?!?!?! I don't know... I tried not to look down or nod too much because my wig moves with my head - I look down the back of my hair looks up and you can see right up the back of my neck. It's not all that hard to observe hair THAT stiff! I'm probably just being paranoid. That wig has got to be at least 3 years old if not 4 or 5 even. I only pull it out when I have to so it's not as bad as it could be I'm sure but it's still thinning in the back a bit and I honestly don't think I can wear it that much longer but until I get another job the cash flow is nonexsistant! Don't mind me, I'm just whinning. Life could be worse, sure, but this is my career, this is my social life, these are the things that make life interesting and sometimes more worth living.

About the discrimination at my current job well, I called their general 1-800 snitch line and reported them but I have to call back next week to find out what the result of it all is and answer more questions. If I leave anyways at least I've cleared the path for others, I jump on opportunity and if someone's got something better ... cya! I've also sent an email to the Canadian Human Rights Commission and am waiting for their reply, but that's not so much work related, it's to try and get alopecia listed under their disabilities so that we are part of a group that stops discrimination for us. Currently alopecia doesn't fit the bill of any of their discrimination categories!

Just one more thing to let off my chest, I swear!!! It feels as though there is someone out there, who will remain anonymous, that is trying to steal my thunder and my identity in a way. Setting up an organization for Canada was my goal now there is someone else trying to pave that very path as well as a group in Toronto which I don't mind as much but this other person is driving me mental! Not only did she try to steal my thunder from forming the organization, she also joined a contest I entered first and is copying me. Although some would say that is flattering, normally it might be, she's stepping on my damn toes and I wanna drop kick her! She stopped talking to me once she got her in online, once she got all the information she wanted and BAM she's all in my face about all the stuff she's trying to do that I'm doing. Talk about mental or what?!?! OK I'm done, sorry for the long vent, it's been quite a day apparently. Ciao, ttyl, ttfn, don't get lost and take care!

How is the job market in Cananda? I don't hear much about a rescession; is Cananda in a recession?
That must have been hard not wearing a wig in a long time, and then turning around and wearing one for an interview.

Good news on the job interview, the wig couldn't have been that bad if he said that you were so confident... Way to go... give yourself a pat on the back, had to be horribly nerve racking to wear a wig to an interview especially after not wearing one for a long time. I get nervous wearing mine to work and all my coworkers there knows that it is a wig. Bravo to you!!!
