The Interview

Well, the second interview. I was a bundle of nerves this time. I was ready really early, there too early, pacing around, trying to calm down. I met with S (the department manager I'd run into yesterday who called me back today). She said that when she saw me with my kids after the first interview, she knew she wanted me in her department. Yay kids!

We discussed all of my (future) duties, salary (she's asking them to pay me more than they usually pay recent hires-- again, yay kids!), everything. I'll be starting in a few weeks. I still have more forms to fill out. I'm not sure if I'll die from the cramps in my hands, the paper cuts, or if I'll be found burried underneath the most recent stack.. And I think I'll get even more forms at training. But the discount isn't too shabby-- 20%-- and my (future) manager is going out of her way to work with my schedule, so I'll suffer a few papercuts and hand cramps.

I really like S so far. She seems to be a genuinely nice person and has a sense of humor-- unlike previous blah interviewer. Speaking of previous blah interviewer, I still don't know exactly what she does. The woman I talked to on the phone-- I really hit it off with her-- was the store manager, so I think Blah was an underling. I'll find out eventually.

Bloat update: Getting better every day. Was able to zip up previously unzippable pants. Yay!
