Interviews
8 years ago
Silence for months, and then suddenly everyone wants to schedule an interview within the same 3 days.
I had an interview yesterday for a shitty local job that doesn't pay great, but should cover the bills. Frankly, it's better pay than I would have expected when I gave up and started applying for these kinds of jobs. I assumed this route would involve living in my subcompact, but that *might* not be the case with this one... but barely. Like there won't be any money left after rent and car insurance. Yay, ramen.
They gave me the job offer immediately following the interview. Didn't realize it would be that easy or that fast. And I kinda hesitated because...
I got the call about that interview first thing Monday morning. Literally right after that, I got in the shower and missed another call. When I called back, I was told I had another interview "tomorrow" (turned out to be Wednesday, but whatever) for a scrum master position I had applied for 2 weeks ago. Then a bit after that, I got an IM on my work computer asking for a call about another internal opening on Tuesday. A couple hours later, I got another call from a different recruiter I had talked to forever ago about an interview, asking for good times for that afternoon or the next day.
In short, I had a really easy interview Tuesday for a job I don't want but might have to settle for and it's better to have it than to be screwed, I had a phone call an hour before that about a possible assignment that I should be able to get easily *if* they can get it done by Friday (my last day) or give me an extension, I had an interview that went pretty well an hour ago for a job that might actually be pretty good, and I have another one tomorrow afternoon that I probably won't get but fuck it.
It's not much yet, but it's better than I've had for a while.
Also, I've been playing Heat Signature in the closed beta. It is awesome. It even made me decide to stream it, in 2 Twitch sessions each for an audience of 1. If cats count as 1.

Coons need more than ramen!
