Progress
This morning I had an interview in Vacaville, about 50 miles east of Oakland. It was at 10:00 am, and I was bright and early (after a mucho scary dream about a Mexican priestess and Jesus who both suggested that I go back to church and get baptized again...totally serious). The interview went pretty well. I mean, I really don't have the interviewing skills that I probably should by this time in my life. The guy was very friendly, and we chatted. As a parting note, he said that I should think the job over and call him if I'm still interested. I'd interview again with him and his boss in about a week. I am interested. It sounds like a great position and a great opportunity. I just have to learn some patience.
I have another interview on Tuesday with a woman who's already biased against me. Working as a desktop publisher for the last few years, she doesn't feel that I have the adequate experience proof-reading. Hmmm. I don't know. Is that a non sequitur? So, I think it's just an interview to humor me or her or both. I'm actually more interested in this "humor" job than the job I interviewed for this morning.
Still, it's all progress.
And it's so much better than the last few months of news. The only bad thing is that my former boss still hasn't paid me. Still. I'd say that Net 120 was exceedingly generous, wouldn't you? So, I've put in an e-mail to him more or less demanding that he get his shit together and pay me. All of this over five grand. What a colossal waste of time.
