Well, found out I didn’t get the promotion. I wasn’t on the list for final-round interviews, so even though I’m not officially Not It, it’s a pretty solid indicator that I’m out of the running. To say that I’m disappointed is a pretty massive understatement, and I have no intention of staying with the department if they shove me back down in the basement to Booking. All of the other jobs I apply for close this week, so I’ll start making calls on Monday to follow up on those positions. I’m sort of crossing my fingers for the spot I applied for with the Amon Carter Museum – I worked there before a few years ago and really loved it, so if I could work there again I would be thrilled. It’s not full-time, but it pays more than I get at TCSO, so I’d actually end up with more take-home pay at the end of the day.

I’m going to go drown my disappointment in chocolate milkshake.

Rather than a chocolate milkshake, perhaps a "special" hot chocolate? All you need is coconut rum, baking chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, and some milk. I like adding a few other spices to it as well but that will make you much happier.

I hope that was a yummy milkshake, you deserve it.

Well poo, that's disappointing.

Good luck on the continued job hunt.

Oh, man. That *is* super disappointing. I hope something else turns up quickly.

Thanks, I hope so, too. I did apply to this one place that I feel could be a real possibility (admin assistant at a boat seller, really good pay), so fingers crossed!

Thanks! I thought I had a good shot since they've been training me for the spot since May, but you know...government work. :-/

It was an *amazing* milkshake. XD

That sounds amazing, but it's way too hot for hot chocolate right now. XP I'll definitely keep this recipe for later in the year!
