James' Ramblings

So, it seems a lot can happen in one week! After having an interview at Portland State University for an office support/data support position last Thursday, I was offered the position Tuesday at the end of the day. They are still trying to get the paperwork squared away and are going to call me back Monday, but they said I will probably start sometime next week. Wow, am I relieved. I thought I only did okay on the interview...I'm such a bad interviewee, so I'm glad that, hopefully, they were able to see past some of that and look at my credentials. It was weird because when I got there, they handed me a packet with all the job info, health stuff, as well as the questions that were going to be asked during the interview. I was like, hmmm, weird, never hard that before. So, I skimmed through and tried to think of some answers before hand. I think it was a bad thing to do, because it kind of conflicted with the answers I had planned originally, but, it's hard to pretend not to know and answer from scratch. Anyway, I started out kind of rough, but by the end, I think I was doing better, less "ums" and what not. Oh, so from that, you can probably assume I accepted the job. I was actually in a weird dilemma. I had gotten another interview for a non-profit in town for a webmaster position, that, honestly, I probably would have really liked. Of course, I wouldn't know for sure, but anyway, the interview was set for next week, so it was hard to decline the 'for sure offer' for a chance at a 'possible offer'. In the end, I think I did the right thing for the situation. Laura and I are both glad that I found a job, though, for sure. Now, only if the moving date would get here sooner!
