lots of questions!
last one first, I would probably not say anything for a while, wait and then start some banal conversation about what's on tv or something.
You have every right to be feeling a bit odd that people are happy to see your replacee coming back to work, since they do (I assume for the most part!) like you too. I would handle it, if you absolutely must say something, by just talking about how much you've enjoyed your time there, that you are hoping to stay on, blah blah blah.
I wouldn't worry too much about interviewing where you work. It is a formality, and you should only focus on the advantages of the fact that you know the people and the ins and outs of the place. Treat it as seriously as you would any interview, but definitely use what you know as best as you can.
I sound like I know what I'm talking about, hey?

also, make SURE Art (or whoever) signs something saying that he agrees to pay you $x on the 1st of each month. I would even go so far as to get a deposit cheque to cover your damage deposit, if you feel really weird about it, tell him that you will only cash if anything happens while he's living there which prevents you from getting your deposit back.
I *do* actually know what I'm talking about here. It's key to have some recourse if anything happens, even though it's very unlikely anything will.

there are many questions there, Jenny! i fer sure don't know what i'm talking about, but that's never prevented me from doling out advice before! ;)
*i guess for the interview you've gotta prove you can handle the job. they already know you're great, so all you've got to do is ooze confidence. you're gonna kill that interview!!
*as for the returning employee, i think you've gotta remind yourself that people aren't saying they're glad to see you leave when they say they're looking forward to her return. just because they'll be happy to have her back doesn't mean they won't miss you. of course they will!
*i think the best thing to do after storming out in a rage-which i've done many times, being a drama queen-it's best to apologize for how you reacted. you're not saying you agree with the situation any more than when you took off in a fit of fury, but you are acknowledging that things didn't go so well. then you can clear up that post-fight awkwardness, & not have to deal with it for the rest of the day/night.
were there any other questions i can field? ;)
hope you're not feeling so frazzled today, Jenny! keep the faith! :)
Luv,
Vicks
