Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Tomorrow I have a phone interview for a job I really want.
Q: Why do I want a new job?
A: It's that time of year. I knew getting into this job the corporate red tape I would face at every turn. I've done my best to battle it, but now it's time to move on. Mostly the job is really good, they pay me alright (not great) I got a good bonus, I love the art and I love the gym. I could love the people a little more. There's really no opportunity for growth at my company, it's become very acceptable in this industry to job jump every year.
Q: What is the new job?
A: Don't want to disclose all the details yet. It just seems like exactly what is right for what I want in my life right now, but I have no idea if the responsibilities match what I'm accustomed to (I need to stay challenged), or if the pay and benefits compensation will be what I want.
Q: What happens if I don't get it?
A: I'm not in a rush, I can keep looking until I find exactly what I want. I've dusted off the resume and various profiles on tech/design job boards, and have got some calls from some recruiters. I can take my time and be picky, I just really really want this one.
In preparation I bought some awesome locally made truffles to send as a thank you (this job sort of has to do with food so it's an appropriate thank-you) drank some beer, and ate some home-made sopressata and basil pizza. Now I'm washing down some day-quil with the beer, hopefully the sore throat is just a result of being around smokey people and not indicative of a cold.
Last night I saw Annuals. They were okay but not great. Jessica Lea Mayfield was trying way too hard. Tonight I skipped out on The Sword because my throat hurt. Tomorrow if I'm not sick I'm going to see Matt Pryor and Chris Conley do solo acoustic sets, woo!
