Oh boy! I love a tuna melt. Years and years ago (like 25+) when I worked downtown there was a lunch spot that had the best tuna melt and really really good chicken salad. Can’t remember the name but it had dark wood paneling and cute penguins and polar bears lining a shelf that ran along the ceiling. Definitely not confusing it with the North Pole steak restaurant of yesteryear in Goochland, but did have a similar kitschy vibe to their bar area with the little figurines. Anyway, I hope your tuna melt was awesome!!!

Using an instinctive action called Heliotropism. Also known as ‘Solar Tracking’, the sunflower head moves in synchronicity with the sun’s movement across the sky each day. From East to West, returning each evening to start the process again the next day. Find out more about how this works, and what happens at the end of this phase.

Lunch was romaine lettuce, a microwave breakfast sammich, and an apple with peanut butter. Not classy, but functional. Breakfast however was delicious and functional too. Fancy oatmeal with butter, brown sugar and sunflower seeds. Added chia seeds for the first time. Smart move.

Interview was good but not great. They're looking for fundraising support to include content writing for asks and acks, and I had to admit that my experience in that was second hand and more along the lines of editing & design support rather than actual writing. I think I'm a good writer but whether I'd be an effective writer in terms of solicitation, I dunno. I did explain that I have good knowledge about what's required for an effective ask, like the fundamentals of staying on mission, testing and applying different strategies, having a specific ask but allowing for additional communication if needed, things like that.

I did not bring up my specific reason for leaving my last job and chose not to highlight my need to work for an organization where honesty and integrity are important, based on advice I'd received here. For an org as small as this one, I thought if I had brought it up, it'd immediately put them on the defensive, pitting them against me, when I need them to see that we should be on the same team and they should want me.

Edit: also I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mom, who's called me after every interview to ask how it went and to share her worry and anxiety. To me, things like worry, anxiety, frustration, regret have no use, so I don't let them affect me. She says I'm a smart, friendly guy who deserves the job, so that I don't have any offers yet is bothering her. She also worries about my finances which are, admittedly, running low but I'm still ok.

Also half chicken and I think regular steak.

But he was going to be disappointed anyway since there was only 3 pieces of steak

He put in sour cream which I don't particularly like but at least it had spicy red chili sauce and fajita veggies.
