Although this means I won't be able to hang out during the week after the meets because I'll be working. :-( I originally interview with them back in July and they brought me back for a second interview with a big wig so I thought it was in the bag but they called me and told me they had filled the position. I was disapointed because the place wasn't too bad. Then two days ago they called me because they had another position open and they remembered me. I went in today and they gave me an offer! It's a job in the student loan dept at a college. I hope I like it. I wanted a change from what I had been doing (I was a receptionist and then a customer service rep for a food manufacturing company) and it's definitely different. The people seem nice so we'll see! I'm not getting paid quite as much as I was but in this economy it's to be expected.
