to be or not to be

I got to thinking ... one famous quote is right.  The squeaky wheel does get the grease.  Yep, it does.  And that quote has been the story of my life.  Not that I'm the squeaky wheel nor the grease getter.  It's the story of my life in that I never seem to learn this.  I'm always the one sitting back and watching others get greased.  And then I hate myself for not getting greased myself.  Or grease-hungry.  Or just plain greasy.

So ... I decided to be the grease monger.  I texted "Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx" to see what's up and IF I'm still a candidate, etc.  For all I know, they've put me on the back burner.  For all I know, they got a good chuckle at my screen test and walked away.  For all I know they didn't even watch.  And for all I know ... oh, stop it, Kris.

So, I took to my computer and sent off a little email.

Hi, Vanessa ~

    I'm so nervous today, wondering if there's any hope that my family members will ever

    be found ... Is there anything more you need from me?  Anything I still need to send

    in?  Anything I need to know?  (I told you I was nervous...!)

Hi Kris,

No need to be nervous  :)  We are anticipating the research team to take on your case soon.
Fingers crossed!  We have all we need for now, if I need any additional paperwork I will call
you immediately.

Best,
Vanessa


So, for once in my life, I greased.  I speaked.  I asked.
And that's all I know but I plan to grease these people but good.

And then I'll wash my hands ... because I'm good at de-greasing.  I learned that this
summer while working in a dirty townhouse.

;)
