A day or two ago, our admin assistant called me into her office & showed me a job listing, asking "why haven't you applied for this?" I hemmed & hawed, but she insisted on contacting the HR person for that college & finding out if it was still open & who I'd need to talk to. Yesterday morning I sent an email to the contact, asking if I could just come in and chat with her a bit about the job. She told me to come at 9am today. When I got there, I discovered it was a full-blown interview, rather than just a little chat. Eek.
I think it went fairly well, though. I don't have as much print design experience as they'd like, but I do have some. And in every other way I'm very qualified. Oh - and the best part - because I'm in one of the colleges being affected by the U's restructuring, I get hiring priority. So even though they've already interviewed people, I get bumped toward the top of the list.
So who knows what will happen? I won't be heartbroken if I don't get it, but I can see how it might be a really good change for me.
In other news, DrumBoy is talking about hiring me to do some web design work for him, which is kind of cool. This afternoon I need to finish up some of my other projects, so I have time to work on his.
(Have I mentioned that DrumBoy is really growing on me? The more we IM-chat, the more impressed I am.) There are a couple of other possibilities in the wings, but I don't know enough to have a good sense of whether they'll work out.
So many other things to talk about, but I'll have to do it later. My recent annoyances are a spate of nasty blog spam & some idiot spammers who have been sending out tons of junk mail that looks like it came from one of my domains. Aargh!
But other than that, life is good. Every time I drive through Como Park, I am struck dumb by the beauty around me.
