sunmother!!!
hope you have a fabulous day.
i think the interview yesterday went well. i did a good job presenting myself as knowledgable in the field, competant and intelligent (she said she thinks i am very smart). she mentioned second interviews as a possibility. and i will know by friday. i am one of 8 candidates for the position, and the last interview.
nice things: this office is full of cubes, but they are pretty much ALL exposed to sunlight during the day. this place is full of windows. goodbye SAD! dress is casual. no t-shirts, but jeans every day of the week is perfectly acceptable. they have a "regent scholarship" which is essentially tuition remission, and i could make use of it for night classes. this position would be a BIGTIME broadening of my experience. at 3M we are much more specialized than it sounds like they are at the U. i would be doing a whole lot of what i'm doing now, and a little bit of everything related to it. i would have to take some accounting classes- paid training...and the end result is that i would gain skills in all the areas that i'm afraid i'm too weak for if i start my own soaping business. it's not "fun" learning, but it's important stuff and good skills. the building is also 2 city blocks from the guthrie. meeting ross for lunch/dinner downtown would be completely feasible on the days where he works there instead of from home. shawn works in the building, and i would be happy at the opportunity to get to know him better as well.
this is not a job where i will love what i do. but i think i would like working for the u and gaining experience and having benefits again.
