So Close....

yet so far.

It'll probably be Monday at the earliest that I hear about the job.

The good news is that I am likely getting it, and have a better than good chance of getting the hours I want.

The guy called me and wanted to check again with me that my preference is for the schedule. Because the day shift sees more action, more people, more opportunity for projects. The night shift is slow you're there because it's open, and there may not be as much of an opportunity to do everything I did at my last job.  And I knew when I was in the interview that I was overselling. As much as I didn't love it, there were great opportunities at my last job I saw a ton of aspects of my field that people with my level of experience don't usually get - or at least not the broad range that I got. Projects, presentations, outreach (food drive), marketing, committees. I look back and realize that I was really involved in my last job.

And I can't say, well I want my days free to interview for jobs in a different field and I don't mind being a night time babysitter because this is my last stop before I'm kind of checking out of this profession. Some how I don't think that will land me the position.

I basically explained why I wanted the night shift, but said that if it came down to it, I would take the day shift over not getting the offer.

So here I am waiting... it's weird because, I know that I have it, but I don't really know that I have it. And I don't 100% know how I am going to get out of my temp gig quickly if they do offer it to me. Because in the interview they said they were behind schedule in filling the spot.

Then I realize that it's Friday night and the BF has been "getting drinks with the partners" for the better part of 4 hours. And I wonder, why am I picking a schedule that would be good for seeing him? {sigh} I know it would be the better schedule for me too for a whole host of reasons. But it's frustrating when networking and getting to understand the office politics takes precedence over cuddling on the couch with me.... Such is life ... and we are going out tomorrow night.  Also, I chose to come home and do stuff rather than wait for him at his place as he suggested in his text when he went - I was in ballet class at the time.

Anyway... that was totally off the subject, and it's late so I am going to go to sleep cuddling with Black Kitty instead.
