More Job Stuff

Current Day Job: Today was officially the last day of my working remotely (aka working from home) 100% of the time. When did it start? Around 2014, I think? Earlier? I don't really remember at this point, and I don't have the inclination to sort through old blog posts to find it. ANYWAY...the strange thing is that, despite my already-stated frustrations with Upper Management Decisions, I'm rather chill about it right now. It's Just Another Necessary Evil to temporarily deal with. I've just logged off and will be packing up some things to bring in on Monday, and that's about it. The funny thing is that I'm more excited about suddenly having more space on my desk, now that the Day Job phone and laptop won't be there. Heh.

Possible Job Opening: Yesterday's interview was...interesting. Some of it was kind of tough, but overall I think it went really well. I felt very comfortable talking with them. I REALLY appreciated how on the ball they were in general (I made sure to tell them that, too). I say it was tough because the team manager interviewing me really pushed me on a few questions, and rightly so. She wanted to know why I wanted to leave a day job after 14 years to try something new, and it was up to me to explain why without making myself sound desperate or 'Oh hey this might be fun.' I had to really sell it, and even though I think I tripped up a few times, I did my best, and I think she saw that. Her co-interviewer had a few technical/mundane questions that I answered quite easily. But yeah...I think the thing that really resonated with me was that I really did feel comfortable there. Which is why I'm REALLY hoping I get this. Of course, I won't know until they make the decision, so right now all I can do is just wait and see...

So yeah...right now everything is...up in the air. But it's all under control, so I'm pretty much on a calm level right now. 

I guess we'll know what happens soon enough, yeah?
