Interview went well, I think. I would be making a little less than my last job even though this would be a higher ranking job. More difficult work, with higher stress for less pay is not cool. I was stoked when I walked out of there, but my enthusiasm for the job is cooling off, lol.
Plus, I hate the thought of going back to 5 days vacation per year. DH gets 5+ WEEKS of PTO each year.

By the time I got home after the interview and shopping in town, I was tired. But, I got 20 broiler chicks in Tues morning before the interview so I spent the evening getting them settled in. Then yesterday I got to spend most of the day with family at the local nature center, then lunch and lots of laughs. My niece brought her 1 year old. For a kid who has met maybe 12 people in his life so far, he did pretty good with 3 new scary faces hanging out with him for 4 hours. My favorite quote for the day was when my niece said to her son "Here, play with your knife". We were dining outside and sitting at a patio table, the kid was enjoying sticking the butter knife down into the openings in the table top.

Woke up this morning - the fridge is dead. Everything in the freezer is completely defrosted and has to be thrown out. That means all my leftover mini-meatloaves, chicken enchiladas, taco meat, sloppy joes and diced chicken that I had for quick meals is headed for the garbage.

It would be hard to start over in a new job!

That is too bad about the fridge and spoiled food. Will you fix the old one or get a new one?

Depends on what went wrong with the fridge. If it's anything with compressor or coils,just get a new one, if it's just a board or something then the repair is probably the better way to go.

Is the food spoiled for sure? just because it defrosted, unless it's been defrosted for days and you just now noticed it, you might just have a HUGE dinner tonight, hey family, smorgasbord at the dinner table. It's worth at least trying to save some if you can. Yah that sucks for sure.

Not to be lecturing but THIS is why I check ALL my fridges and freezers daily. Sometimes it may not even be dead, but a power glitch caused it to lock up, and the reset just needs to be pushed on the compressor.... even if you are not mechanically inclined, just knowing your stuff is working is a good thing, lets say you caught it at the very beginning, oh hmm, there's ice, but it's moist, oh darn this is broke, get the stuff moved into another one, a new one, or 60 qt coolers full of ice until you do get fixed etc, Whatever, but it sure beats throwing away hundreds of dollars of food. They make alarms you can put in your freezers, it's a cheap little box basically that you set a temperature on it and it screeches to get your attention if it goes above it. Might be worth the 30 dollars to get one of those.
