I had a third interview last night. I was almost late due to a delayed bus, but I made it there. The interview itself went fine. I was focused and enjoyed talking with the man (interviews never make me nervous, unless I'm late and at a disadvantage.) When I left I changed into my regular summer office attire (skirt and a t-shirt) in the lobby bathroom. When I did that, I realized that there was a dime sized hole in the back of my suit jacket. Damned moths! Cedar blocks and lavendar sachets be hanged--I still haven't found a way to get rid of those horrible moths.

What's weird is that I had a restless night of sleep dreaming of precisely those moths (I haven't seen any at all in over a year, for the record). What a weird coincidence.

The company has spent today calling and checking my references--I've gotten a couple of calls from my references saying, "I think they really like you. I think it's in the bag."

This is my distant second choice company, though. The people are great, but the benefits aren't. Neither is the commute. And worst of all is the job itself. No question I'd be bored doing straight admin work for two people. They've even said there will be times when I'm sitting there with nothing to do, but they just want me to be there. Bleah. I'm leaving because I'm overworked, but I don't want boredom as a trade-off...

My first choice company should be able to make an offer next week when I interview with the man coming back from his vacation on Monday.

If I dream of moths before that interview, I'll be very careful to check my clothes before I leave. Good to know, though, that a motheaten suit doesn't negatively impact a job hunt.

hello from the edge of nothing
Hi Joy,
I met you once. I ate with you. You shared home made brownies with me. If you don't want this job, if you feel you will be bored, look for something else. You are intelligent, intriguing, and (least important and most fleeting of all) nice to look at. You should be nourished in all your experiences. Go find love. Even if its a lot of work, you wont notice. You will revel in it.
adoringly,
anon

Wow, thank you. This made my day and has left me trying to figure out who you are...
