Things are looking up.

I 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.

Cool. Is "ConHugeCo" code for something? Am I cleared to know?

Now I am the sole unemployee, and I shall have all the attention!

No, it's just that I don't want to give the name of the company (it's a pretty big investment firm). The term's from an MST, I think.

Job mojo to you and to xclamationpt!

thanks for good job mojo. I actually hope to pull something like you--and nail the second interview at the university since I impressed them the first time around. Any suggestions or thoughts? =)

Call them. Email them. Remind them that you're still interested and that if there's any other information they need you can provide it and did you mention you're very enthusiastic about this job? Don't be a pest, but the line into pesthood is much farther off than I first thought.
