Waiting Game:

   I had my first interview with HP today.  Yes, Hewlett Packard.  If I do get the job, I'd be an account manager, but it's basically sales. Business-to-Business, and I wouldn't be dealing with grumpy nasty golfers.  I was told it isn't a glamorous job by any stretch of the imagination, but for $40,000-$50,000 a year, it's far better than anything I'm currently doing.  I keep weighing the pros and cons, and even though it's in Arkansas, selling computers, servers, and software, it isn't here in this crap-town, the money is good, I know sales, and it's only for two years.  From there I'd be moved up. The Pros truly outweigh the cons.
  I figure if I can catch baby throw-up in the palms of my hands, be pooped on, thrown- up on, be thoroughly degraded by drunks, and smell like stale beer for three years....I can sell servers and software over a phone for two.
  This is a big deal.  If I do get it, I move down there by September 20. But I'm here, waiting for interview number two....my hands are still shaking from interview one.  I hope I did OK...

  1. I am so proud of you for doing this! Whether you get the job or not, I'm so glad you're going out on a limb, and considering the possibilities! :)
    PS. If you're there by September 20th, I'm there by Christmas break to sleep right on your couch.
    Love,
