A Collapsed Bridge, Coffee and Waiting

YESTERDAY, a bridge section of I35W collapsed, plunging cars and other vehicles into the Mississippi River. I worry about friends who travel to Minneapolis. Yesterday, I checked on the Ex and he's okay.

It's a peculiar feeling of worry. Kind of like when I receive news of some disaster in my home province in the Philippines and my hometowns. I feel like rushing there to help. I think about friends who live and work there. I feel the same way about Minnesota. I guess part of me considers the state one of my homes.

As I type this I am also think about a phone interview I finished this morning. I think I did well. There were some sections where I rambled. But all in all, I was more relaxed and it was more of a conversation rather than an all out sales pitch. I was also able to ask some good questions.

So now I wait.

I wait for final results on the SoCal job.

I wait for possibly an on-site interview for the San Francisco job.

And I wait for an on-site interview invitation from the Boulder, Colorado job.

I need to shape up and attend to my thank you cards. And I just discovered that I made date error on my SoCal job application. I'll be attending to these tonight, tomorrow and over the weekend.

In other news, I'm getting better at making coffee. Getting the hang of blended frappuchinos and I've been starting to learn espresso drinks. Today I made my first cappuchino and I'm pretty sure it was a correctly made one and adhered to the 10-second rule. I like the people I work with and I look forward to coffee and the company.
