Apparently Lara is all up in my mind today.
Here's the comment she left me:
Women always have a tendency to undervalue themselves - it's sad. It's also apparently a big issue in job applications. Men will apply to all kinds of jobs they don't really qualify for because they figure they should just go for it. If women don't believe they fit all the requirements perfectly they don't bother. *sigh*
She's so right, you know?
And what's weird is, on the 11th I saw an advertisement for a job way outside my field, that looked really interesting and fun and like something I would be good at.
I tried to talk myself out of applying, with my usual self-doubt. But I didn't. I said, "Why not?" and I sent my resume.
They called me last night. I missed the call unfortunately, but when I called back this morning they wanted to see me. Today.
I went for my interview and before I had even left the building they were calling my references.
I don't know if it will work out, y'all, but it feels good to take a chance.

Good for you! You go, Girl!
Oh how awesome!!! I am totally excited for you!! I still haven't figured out what I want to do with my life. I wish I had some direction!
Lara is right and it always pains me that more women aren't as gung-ho as I am. It's not like I'm the best at whatever I do, I just believe I can do anything I put my mind to. I hope you get the gig!
Good luck!!
What happened with the other position you were supposed to get at your current employer? Did I miss something? Is it still as craptastic as your old position? I'm so confused...
I am so humping proud of you!
Yay, you!
Awesome. Just awesome. Sometimes I wish I took more chances.

You go! Maybe I'll work on some self confidence today... seeings how those men softball coaches always intimidate me... at least today, i didn't let it get to me
That is wonderful! Good for you for applying! Good luck!
Fingers crossed. Like, big time crossed.

Yay! Hopefully this will be motivation to take more (non-risky) risks. I am sure I would still hesitate next time in a similar situation, just remind yourself of how this one worked out.
