One month into the new job, and newboss likes me and my initiative (which, a little bit duh, since we were friends before and that's why he hired me.) But also my grandboss was impressed by me first day and I keep making a good impression. We're a bit busy, but not like we will be when the Big Project comes on board. (Big Project is waiting on another university to sign a contract we can piggyback, but in the mean time, there's lots of groundwork to lay.) And then we do things like take a walk at lunch to see the cherry trees blooming in the quad. Work life is good.
So I was randomly poking through job sites the other week, and came across this one that seemed to me to be a *perfect* fit. Like, the One True Job Description. Only, it's in Austin. As in Texas. However, given that I actually know people who live in Texas, and I'm not simply a Californian looking at the next biggest state with envy, I did a little digging, and well... I applied. (I can afford a house larger than a shoebox with a yard bigger than a postage stamp.)
Resume got input electronically Friday, the cover letter Tuesday and all of a sudden they want a phone interview.
Holy shit! They want me!
I mean, obviously, because I'm a guru and everyone should love me and despair, but...
They want to talk to me!
*hyperventilates into a paper bag*
I mean, I'm going to have to a do a lot more pro/con-ing before I even think of accepting or declining an offer that might not be made, but the ego, she ees verra happy.
