So I have an interview tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM for that $50K research-y job. I think they want to hire right away because he was pretty much all, "Can you come in tomorrow?" on the phone and offered to take me anytime after 7:00 AM. Craziness. I hope they're not interviewing too many people, since I'm already making plans about that huge paycheck. Heh.
I saw on the posting that they want this new person to start on September 10th. My current job would have a total conniption about this, especially since I /just/ (as in, today) took over someone's biweekly play group. Aah well, it'd be an adjustment for all of us, right?
I just can't help but dream about all the ways this job would help us, even if I don't really like it. It's on public transportation, so Jen would have her car back to look for a better job. (Beacon Hill, even. How posh.) It pays way more than I make now, so Jen could stay in retail if she wanted to. We would be able to put money away. And the hours would be a cool 40, no over. It's funny - when I was on the phone with the guy today he was like, "I see that you called me back at 6:30PM. I don't know what you're doing for work right now that you're out that late. But we just don't do that." Awesome.
I so totally don't want to interview at 8:00 AM, but I didn't want to risk missing my 10:30 appointment (that will probably no-show anyway). I'm already planning to stay late at work tomorrow night /as long as it takes/ to get all of the paperwork and extra stuff off my desk. I'm hoping to get it all done by 7:00PM, but I am committed to Operation: Stay Til It's Done.
Wish me luck, on all fronts!
