Things are looking up.

[squeequeg]

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.

Congrats, added to all the previous ones.

You have renewed my hope. :-) Ha...well...not really, because I am still applying for jobs for which I am woefully underqualified. But I read this thing that said that one of the reasons men are more successful than women is that when men apply for jobs, they pretend to be qualified and apply anyway, and women don't. So here's to be little foray into the man-world.

anyway.

Congrats!!

Apply for them ALL. Even the scary-looking ones. And you'll get one -- more mojo to you!

that's a good point, G. I better get my butt in gear and apply to the position at Cranium (who knew they were based in seattle?)
