Another Quickie
Well today went well. I called and got the PG&E (gas & electric) set up for July 1st at the new place. I also called and had the phone switched over as well. All thats left is the cable and we are set to move in. Josh already brought a few boxes over which was ok'd by the landlord as long as its not a lot of stuff before the 1st.
I heard back about the intensive interviews and they want me to come in tomorrow for a full day interview. Ill be there from 7am-3:30pm on the phones with the current employees, getting an idea of what the environments like, and asking questions. Sounds pretty promising to me but theres always that chance they could say "um sorry, no deal". I doubt it at this point but could happen.
It will be nice to go back to work and this time for a company that I choose. A place thats friendly, hard working, and a good place to be. Granted you cant really tell all that from interviews but for as many people as Ive talked to, they couldnt stop boasting about the place. From what I saw while I was there and what I read on their website, it really looks as if they have good quality people working there who all are accountable for the work they do. There really isnt any room for slackers, so thats one good thing I wont have to worry about. Taking on the work load I usually do and having other people do half their share.
Anyway, I have a really good feeling about it all. The people seem to actually enjoy their jobs there. Hopefully the pay will be as good as I feel I deserve. The range was quite a jump from one end of the spectrum to the other.
As for Josh, his interview went well also. They had him fill out an application after the interview which I thought was a bit odd since they have his resume and have already interviewed him. Perhaps its proceedure but who knows. He also got a call from another place which he will be following up on. It made him feel good that someone actually called him rather than the opposite way around.
I can totally appreciate that feeling because for some reason, when we dont hear back from resumes that we've submitted, it makes us doubt our strengths. Things like "perhaps there was something wrong with my resume" or " maybe they dont like whats on it". Thats just me but Im sure there are similar things going on in other peoples heads when that happens.
So things are looking up. Still havent decided on Sacramento pride just yet. If Im starting work on Monday, Im not sure I want a busy weekend even if it is just Saturday. So we shall see.
