Hope I didn't miss anyone!

I've been trying desperately to catch up before jumping back in, but I think I'll just have to do that as I have time.

First of all...two more days! Woo-hoooooo! I just hope it warms up a bit - with no pre-buying available, we're likely gonna be in line for quite a while. Last year we waited about two hours (theater didn't open until six thirty, and the movie started at seven), and this year it's going to be a much longer wait, I'll warrant. My younger siblings want to get in line by three or so and are already planning what they want to do while waiting.(So far it mostly seems to involve food...guess I'm not the only hobbit in the family?)

STILL haven't heard much from the college where I'm supposed to have an interview. After leaving a few more voice mail messages, I did finally get a call back (while I was out, of COURSE) saying they plan to interview all applicants in one day this week, either Tuesday or Thursday. So I called back and told them which would be best for me, as they requested - left a voice mail again - I have YET to make it through to an actual person. That was Friday, and I still haven't heard anything, despite leaving yet another message inquiring about the status late this afternoon. I assume Tuesday is out, unless they're planning to call me and tell me to come in fifteen minutes or something. Which leaves Thursday, if I'm lucky, which means I can't go meet my brother (jrherreid) at the airport. A bunch of us were going to go down to pick him up in the van, and it's not essential that I be there, but I'd like to go! And that's the best case scenario...other scenario is that they say they'll interview me at the beginning of the next semester, which isn't until the end of January. Which means back to square one...and I really haven't heard about any other openings.

So...at least I have TTT to look forward to...

Hullo Rosie!

Too bad about the lack of urgency the college has for these interviews! Jeepers!

Check back in with us when you know, and certainly check in about the movie!

Rosie!!!!

So nice to see you! I still have my fingers crossed for the college job and I hope they speed up the interview process a bit.

I can't wait until tomorrow night. Glen and I are going to the sneak peek at 10PM - yippee. Got babysitting arranged and everything. :)

I hear we're moving to the new Hole tomorrow (tentatively), so I'm so glad to see you stop in here before the relocation.

Hi Rosie!

Good to see you again! Sorry that the place is still giving you the run-around interview-wise... please pardon my saying so, but it sounds like they may be suffering from a bit of cranio-rectal inversion. Just my two cents... ;)

Hope you have fun on the movie line... I imagine it could develop into a bit of a party atmosphere!

Welcome Back 2J! I'm glad y'all had a safe trip! Did you check out the two trailer links that Hair posted today? They are just SO cool! I love the part with the Ent throwing the huge boulder! That is going to be such a neat part of the movie. The book didn't give a lot of details about the Ents destruction at Isengard. I'm glad PJ decided to put that on film! It is going to be just awesome!!

Oh man!! That is SO frustrating waiting for a call for an interview! You're still on our Prayer Line. Maybe this week will be the one!
