I really wish I had more to update but alas I have heard nothing on the job front. We've been sick at our house and I'm beginning to feel as if I need to open all the windows and spray down the entire house to get all the nasty germs out of it.
Back to the job again though. The recruiter asked for my resume in Word format and I sent it along with a nice note hoping I'd hear something back from her. I'm afraid I'll just have to wait while they go through the screening process with a few other candidates this week.
I feel incredibly selfish for even wanting this job. It's supporting the CEO of this Wood Products company that has a facility in China as well as several here in the US. I would spend a week or two traveling and would go to China most likely one week a month. The selfish part is that there may be times when I wouldn't be home between trips and I'd actually be away from the kiddos for two weeks or more.
But the thought of jumping on a plane... and even that dreaded 14 hour flight... and landing in China is such a wonderful thought that my heart starts pounding just thinking about it. A large part of who I am began in that part of the world and I've been longing to return for the last decade.
I am trying my best not to get excited about this prospect but the mere thought of it has stirred something within me. It's as if I can feel the humidity already as I step off the plane, bringing with it the heavy scent of open sewers and exotic spices mixed with the aroma of the highly industrial cities.
I suppose I will let the fates decide and will wait to see what tomorrow brings.
