We've been interviewing for a new position at work; today was the second of three days of interviews. You'd think it would be easy - a simple matter of selecting the best candidate, the most qualified, and making an offer. But when you happen to know so many of the candidates, it's a difficult choice. Knowing you can only choose one, and someone is bound to be disappointed. Some are just beginning their careers, and this would be a significant step for them. Others need to change positions because the work demands are more conducive to their life and family situations. It isn't easy. Guess that's why I get paid the (not-so-big) bucks.
I'm really missing my kid tonight. Saw him for a few hours yesterday when he returned from a week at the beach with the outlaws. He was tan and smelled like sunshine and healthy boy. It was difficult for both of us when I took him to my parents' last night; he loves to spend time with them, but he's missing mom and home. His P-pa is teaching him how to cook, and he and his Ninnie talk art and superheros and watch movies. I long to be able to spend lazy summer days with him, though, and so it's tough.
Okay, enough whining for now...it's late and I'm tired.
