I had a phone interview today with a software training company.

I know I'm not up to a regular 9-5 job right now but I need $ desperately. Being at the fish tank as a volunteer has been a way for me to see how much I can push myself for a 'real job'. I've been applying for jobs that are at the professional level that I've been at before but I know I can't be "ON" at the intensity expected for too long.

I thought I'd apply for some jobs with a larger company, get hired, push myself hard for a while to make some reserves and then crash.

However, the guy I spoke with today proves it is a really small world. It's a smaller company but it's right around the corner from my house. It's not a gig that, even if I was 100%, that I'd want for long-term. The prospective boss is tight with one of the head guys at the fish tank. And he also knows the guy I used to work for with the festival. I don't want to burn bridges with anyone at the fish tank and I'm not sure where festival guy and I stand. I also feel somewhat guilty about the expense of a smaller company hiring me when I know I won't stay.

He wants me to come in for an interview later this week. Not sure what I should do. I think I'm going to continue with the interview process at least to get back in the swing of things some. I've forgotten the art of bullshit and business lingo somewhat. I'm a believer in fate or I'll figure it out as I go along or they won't offer me the gig.

Tonight I'm talking on the phone to the dude I'm probably going to go out on a date with (eventually). I told him not to interrupt the Falcons game. We have a date for a phone date (which cracks me up). I'm zonked so I'm not at my most diva-licious.

I'm so tired I haven't been grocery shopping in ages. I have nothing in the house but brown rice and some unindentifiable frozen things. Guess it's rice for dinner tonight. Or cat food. But I don't think they will share. (Plus I think cat chow is high in carbs)
