Well, I'm terribly excited by something I found online today - a job ad for a company I've wanted to work for, for years. It's a company that we had bought a system from years back, one with which I've had training classes with. Back when we had this training, the guy who ran it was so impressed with my intuitive grasp of the subject matter & software, he actually pulled me aside afterwards & semi-offered me a job. Unfortunately, I couldn't move at the time, and was forced to dismiss it. We've had lunch a few times since then, and still have a good relationship, even if we haven't talked much recently.
Well, I've been told that the guy is now the manager of the department that the job is in. I wrote him tonight asking about the job, and he wrote back within the hour & asked for my resume. I just got done sending it to him - its so hard for me to not be excited by this! Like, seriously, I'm actually *excited* about it! It's less than 30 minutes from the area I've been looking to move, it's essentially an emerging technology with a *ton* of room for growth/expansion, the company is partnered with a german company (which means I may eventually be able to move there!?), from what I remember, the pay is great, and there is required travel, 30-50% of the time, which I'm actually excited about! For some reason, I'm fairly open to the idea - travelling to new places, states, meeting new people, sounds like a lot of fun!
I've also been working a lot the past week, and this week looks pretty full too. I'll have made enough to make the house payment with this weeks paycheck, which is the biggest thing I worry about. The rest of my bills are about equal to the house payment, maybe a bit less, and i think unemployment will cover that, so I'm ok for another month at least. Also, it's looking like the part-time work is picking up over the next month or so, so even if I don't get the above job, I should (hopefully) be ok for maybe a couple more months.
I'm trying to stay focused on the part-time work & the local stuff, but I can't help it - I keep thinking about this opportunity, and I'm just geeked! I reaaaaally hope I get this job! I hope he remembers how much he liked me back then & still feels the same way. This job just sounds perfect!
