I had an interview...

Although I am still employed at the plating company, with the boss who wants to quit...I have been continuing my search for a job.

And I got a call...

On a job I applied for over 3 months ago.

And I had an interview - yesterday.

And, they want to see me again next week.

Yea me!!!

Actually, when I got there I was told there had been 45 applicants for the position - and they narrowed it down to two. I am one of those two.

Oh....and they actually have 2 positions available.

Problem is - one pays a lot less than the other - and they both pay less than what I am currently making.

However - the jobs are at a very very good private University.

I want the job that offers 40 hours a week. Not because of more pay - but because the job is database management (something I've done for the last 8 years)...and it would be getting in on the ground floor of a new huge project.

I want that job.

The benefits are unreal. The chance for advancement is wonderful.

And its a very very stable environment.

And, they liked me :)

Another problem....they want me to come in next Wednesday at 9:00am.

Uh...I am working.....

They know this.

So now I have to lie and come up with some excuse to be away from work. And, I do not get paid when I am not there.

But I really want the job.

The man I would work with seemed so great. Retired military. We talked for 1-1/2 hrs - and that was after an interview with another man in the office!

I am trying not to get too excited about it.

Thats not easy

So please...cross your fingers and toes for me.

Don't cross your eyes though....they might get stuck like that.
