That's something any employer would love to hear! When I had employees, I always hired as much or more for attitude than aptitude. Obviously, if you're hiring a surgeon, or someone with very technical knowlege, aptitude is important. But the "mechanics" of most jobs can be taught. It's darn near impossible to change someone's attitude.

I think this is lucky February for jobs. My son and DIL had been working overseas. They knew it's easier to find a job when you're already employed, but as it's difficult and expensive to interview when you're overseas, they came back to the US without jobs. They've been looking for months. Son got an offer about 10 days ago, and DIL just accepted a job today.

Best of luck on your interview.

Good luck with your interview, beerbelly! I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts your way on Tuesday.

Thank you guys so much! :heart

beerbelly, you've got this! :blow

Good Luck Beerbelly! I'll be thinking of you Tuesday.

Thank you guys so much! I'm already having nervous dreams about it.

I just realized that it was 10 years ago this month that I first logged on to post some snarky comment about "Paradise Hotel." I just want thank the folks at FORT -- mods and posters -- for making this such a great place to hang out online.

We're buying a new car!

I've been shopping around for a few weeks, and we've settled on a Chevy Equinox. The dealer has been terrific. Instead of saying, "Oh, if you want THAT option (e.g., power seats), then you have to get THIS model, and it comes with leather seats." "But I live in Arizona. I want cloth seats." "We'll throw in a seat cover." "I don't want leather seats with a seat cover." "But you have to have leather seats if you want power seats."

The Chevy folks have said, "Tell us what you want, and we'll have the factory build it for you. You buy the lower-option model, and we'll customize it with the options you want. So I'm getting power seats with CLOTH covers, and a power lift gate and a bunch of other stuff. I'll order it today, and should have it in 6-8 weeks. :-)

How exciting AZChristian! :yay
I love the look of the Equinox and have been studying it along with some others when we have to replace our SUV. I love the size, it is smaller than the one I have now but still large enough to feel safe when driving on the interstate with all the big trucks. And, I could still have room for my large dog crate and landscaping supplies. Our GM dealer is great too and that is another reason why I would like to stay with a GM product. I think the dealership and the service after the sale is a big selling point to me. Let me know how you like it and enjoy that new car smell! :)

Is a "power lift gate" that thing where you can open the trunk door with no hands? Because I want one of those! How often do we have to put down our groceries, watch the bags flop over and the cans roll out, just to close the door? Drives me nuts.
