One week down
Well, made it through the first week of unemployment.
I’ve had a few interviews. I had one very promising prospect for a 6 month contract in Maine. In Winter. Um, yeah, I’ll have to pass on that. One interview I thought went really well Thanksgiving week never called back. It was a perfect job. 4 miles from the house. Easy commute. I know someone that works there so I wouldn’t be totally on my own. I’d really like to know where I went wrong on that one.
The best prospect at this time is with a well known Linux distributor. The position involves going on to customer sites and helping them with whatever they need done. 80+% travel is a bit brutal but the pay should be decent and I work from home when not on the road. Don’t have to leave Austin. Weekends home guaranteed. I passed the first interview and have another Monday. If that goes well I’ll be flying out to their headquarters for a face-to-face. Keeping my fingers crossed.
As-is we’ve got enough in savings to last a while. Problem is that money was supposed to go towards remodeling 2 other bathrooms. Guess that has to wait.
