The Finest Hour

I have seen
Is the one that comes between
The edge of night
And the break of day
That's when the darkness
Rolls away.
--"Across the Great Divide"by Kate Wolf

I was singing this song this morning as I attempted to wake up at 7am. I found it difficult to fathom that my library at Job #2 opens at 7:15 am. It was still dark outside. Madness! I am the ultimate night owl, non-morning person, whatever you want to call it. My DNA molecules scream out and protest vigorously when I attempt to rouse my body before 9am. If I have to wake up real early at, say 5am for a plane flight or something, my stomach literally gets nauseated. My ideal working day: 10am-5pm. That would be heaven. I cursed this morning further when I was attempting to drive into work at 8:15 and was bombarded on all sides by the rest of the entire world trying to get to work at that time too. Bullshit!!! See, that's why I generally stumble into work at around 9:15, 9:30. The roads have cleared by then and the livin' is much easier.

But alas, I have to get to work at a somewhat decent time now b/c the cakewalk is over and everyone (i.e., my boss) is back from conference. But today we had our annual employee award luncheon and it was decent chow. Lord knows I always appreciate a free lunch! I have a large lemon tart sitting on my desk waiting for its certain death later.

Yesterday another Board member and I interviewed 3 slaves I mean Administrative Assistant candidates for the High-spanic Health coalition job. Of the 3 candidates they're all decent though they each have their pros and cons. 2 more candidates will be interviewed by me and another Board member, and then I will be ready to hire!
