I got a call back this morning after my interview yesterday. I was the best qualified, but the owner is a little concerned that I might burn out in their demanding environment, so they will hire me as a temp for a couple weeks or so and see if I'm turning red, or if smoke is starting to rise from my neck. Two more days of indolence around the house, then I start on Friday. That way I'll have a weekend. Sounds good, and I think this is a pretty good way to handle it.

This means I'll have to start getting up earlier in the morning, swiftly achieving a state of readiness and shipping out. Still, wonderful news, and thanks for the good wishes, everybody -- they worked.

Congratulations!

As for the two week trial deal, I did something like that once. I left 7.5 years later when that office closed....

Huzzah!

I admit, that part about swift morning readiness is to laugh. As for the rest, I look forward to hearing the 4-part harmony about the new job.

Even without the word "swift," morning readiness is... ghaack. Well, it'll give me a half hour each way when I can listen to mp3s and sing along. And I have to find some other time to do the treadmill. There's a challenge.

How many days do you have before you start?
If more then one, I suggest you work into a morning timetable on your own.

Just changed my alarm from 6:30 to 6:00. No more lying in after it sounds. Out of the house around 7:15. I can scream in the car as I drive.

I hope the trial works out, and the job works out!

Easing into it with a day followed by a weekend sounds pleasant.

Enjoy your remaining indolence, er, quality time with your daughter.

Congrats! What sort of work do they do there at Bob's Country Bunker?

I wish there was a "reply all" option, so this would come to your mailboxes. But thanks, thanks, for your kind thoughts. I will echo them: good luck to me!

Just be certain to use that new cover sheet when filing those TPS reports. And remember that twelve pieces of flair is the minimum.

Yes, what kind of job? Are you playing piano full time from eight to five?

For some reason, I hadn't realized you were looking for full-time employment; I had gotten the impression you were able to sustain freelancing. Congrats on the opportunity!
