squeequegI have been offered a job with ConHugeCo. Not the one I first interviewed for, but the one I got referred to because I impressed the interviewer.
And I've accepted.
It won't be riveting work, but it's good, and it pays quite a bit more than I'm earning now. Part of that is the longer schedule, but in this case I think it'll actually help. It's a 10-6, M-F schedule, and I intend to use the extra time in the morning to write. A scheduled, set time that's just for writing will help me get off my butt and finish this revision. My commute has also been halved.
There are two potential downsides I can currently see: I may have to work a bunch of overtime at certain times of the year, and there's a big bookstore nearby. As in three blocks away. Huuuuge bookstore. Calling to me.
My current employer wants me to stay a whole month before heading over to ConHugeCo. I'ma thinking no.

Date: 2005-10-18 01:13 am (UTC)Make sure you take some time off between jobs - a week to just get your house in order and breathe and write and see friends and sew the buttons on - You will feel guilty for the 2 weeks that you remain at your current employer, and then you will never see any of those people again if you don't want to! I say this as your Supreme and Evil Overlord.
Also, you look pretty today. :)
