Jeans and Sneakers

Ever since the interview, I was just kind of waiting.  It went so well that the guy made it seem like the position was mine and all I had to do was wait for him to tell me that it ACTUALLY was.

He emailed me this morning saying it was a VERY tough decision, but he decided to go with someone else, but would like to keep me as a “backup” in case this person doesn’t work out, and would then like to have me come in and work for them.

I told him that was fine.

But you know what?  This one office position has a higher rollover rate than I have at quitting and getting new jobs (and that’s pretty impressive, unless you’re my roomate, who thinks quitting and getting jobs IS a job.).  I’m not too sure now that I want to work here.  I mean, what is making all of these admin people get fired, or quit for that matter?

It seems like a good job that pays well in a good environment where the employer takes care of the employees.  But that’s just what it looks like, and until I work there, I’ll never know any different.

So now it’s back to looking for something else.  I found something on Craig’s List today that’s some tree-hugger organization.  I have no idea how much they pay, or what you actually have to do.  But I might give them a call on Monday.

I’m almost as stressed out being unemployed as I was when I was employed.  The only difference is, I have a lot less to do, and more time to think about how I’m not making any money to support myself.

So I’ve been reading.  I went to the library yesterday and picked up the sequel to Eragon, Eldest.  It’s pretty good so far, I’m about halfway through it.
