tomorrow is the day of reckoning

About 3 weeks ago my job sent an e-mail out company-wide looking for people interested in a couple open positions, including collections. I sent an e-mail response for it. I work my butt off in my current position, but I am bored with it and feel like I could be doing more. Well, words have been swirling around, and I got an e-mail back from the VP today asking me to come to her office tomorrow. So tomorrow, I'm thinking, is going to be the day where i hear either a 'yes' or a 'no'. I'm kind of nervous and trying not to get my hopes up too much. I will be pretty excited if i get it. It's considered a lateral move within the company (i.e. there is no raise involved), but I'm considering it a promotion. I'll have certain accounts that I'll be responsible for and I'll have a lot more independence, not to mention a bigger cube that's got 3.5 walls (which is nice considering my 'cube' right now has a total of 2 walls. I will also not be forced to listen to anyone else's radio/music picks all day. Oh, the glee that will bring. I'm looking forward to the challenges that the new position would involve, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed tomorrow going in to work.
I was thinking about doing some baking tonight, but that was before I received the aforementioned e-mail. In lieu of baking, I bought a new blouse to wear with a skirt I have so I can look somewhat more presentable tomorrow. I did, however, come home and after doing the dishes, made myself dinner. The inspiration came from a recipe I found on tastespotting, but since I am poor, I did a lot of improvising. This recipe doesn't get a fancy name, but right now I'm thinking about Dwight Schrute and this line from the office keeps running through my head "I don't want Garbage! I want Sprinkles"

Delicious Pasta Dinnner (and enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow)
1) Boil 8 oz. pasta (I used rigatoni) until al dente.
2) Remove the casings from 2 links hot Italian turkey sausage and brown the meat in a skillet, crumbling the meat as it cooks. Drain the grease and set sausage aside.
3) In the same pan, heat a small amount of olive oil and sautee 3 cloves minced garlic, a small amount of finely diced rosemary, and a big handful of baby spinach until the spinach is softened but not mushy.
4) In a bowl, combine the spinach mixture, the sausage, 1/2 c. cottage cheese, and 2 tsp crushed red pepper. Add cooked rigatoni.
5) Bake covered at 400 for 20 minutes.

By the way, it was delicious. I have roommates that can vouch for that.
