carved angel

i just talked to rosemary for the first time, briefly. she doesn't usually answer the phone, so i was surprised to hear her voice. (was i expecting that she never pick up the phone?) so i ummed and uhhed and asked for dad by name, which was also weird. coz i only ever call him at home or on his cell. so, yeah. she couldn't find him, so i asked if they were going to see any of the hurricane or whatever. i'm a total idiot on the phone, so it was pretty awkward. but she's really shy, too, apparently. so we didn't say a whole lot, and i didn't know what to talk about aside from the hurricane. so i just told her to have him call me back, which he did a couple minutes later. and i asked dad if she thought i'd been rude, and he asked, and she laughed and said no. she seems really sweet. i think she wants to get to know me, too. it's so exciting and weird to have a potential family you haven't even met yet. and i may not meet them til christmas, at the earliest. which will prolly be here sooner than i realize.

but i'm babbling.

and i got an email back from the lady i sent my resume to, saying that she'll contact me for an interview if i met their criteria. mind you, there wasn't much in the way of criteria, and i met all of it. i have taken this to mean that my cover letter and resume really sucked, and sohei pretty much agreed. but we'll see.
