i’ve been interviewing now for the past three weeks. it’s been an interesting process. my first interview was a complete wreck. i thought for sure that i had tanked it. it turned out though that the interview process continued forward. it has been years since i last interviewed and i didn’t think that i would get nervous at an interview anymore, but it turned out that there were still some jitters.

after the first interview, though, i got back into the swing of things. i interviewed at a couple of other companies and it was an interesting process. at some companies, i feel like i had to really convince them hard that they wanted me. at others, i felt like the interviews were interrogations. at one company, i felt like i was being wooed. ah, to be wooed.

i ended up taking a job at a company that is farther than i really wanted to ever work. a lot farther. the commute is going to be awful, but i think that the opportunity is grand. so i’m pretty excited about the whole company and i think that it’s going to be a lot of fun. what isn’t fun is that they want me to start immediately. blah.

blah, i say. blah.

this job hunt wasn’t nearly as painful as i had initially feared that it would be when i first heard that the company was going under. sure there were some nervous times at interviews, but all in all, i’m pretty happy with how things turned out. i think that i will be able to find the passion in work again. it has been waning for a while and i think that i had been going to work out of obligation instead of out of desire.

here’s to better things!
