Life and job
Oct. 23rd, 2006 09:43 pmWell, tomorrow, I have a phone interview with a local law firm, for a Records Clerk position. I mentioned in the cover letter that I wouldn't ba available until 2 Decemeber, so they must be able to wait until then.
She didn't seem to bat an eye when I requested basically the same pay I am currently making, so thinking should be asking for a bit more?
I have been coasting for way to long in my life. Albertsons job ending is probably going to be a good thing. A wake up call, that I need to start doing something else. (and yes, part of this is probably my annual depression over my birthday... I'm going to be 39 in less than a month, and what have I really done with my life? Jos is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time! :)
2 things I would like to do within the next 2 years.
Go back to school, and get 2 certificates. Paralegal and Library Technician.
(I don't think at this point I have financial ability to get into a Masters degree program for Library Science, plus the fact that the closest one is in Tucson.)
Get a new car. Or maybe a 150cc scooter. The Kia is a 1999 model, and I bought it in Nov 99, so it was a leftover.
One good thing, if I do happen to get the Records Clerk position, it is just up the street from current address. Central and Thomas. So even if I don't get quite what I make now, being that close will make up the difference in gas savings. Hell, I could walk or bike to/from work over the winter, and get myself in a bit better shape than I am now!
Of course, this is just a phone interview, and my first real interview in a LONG time... so... who knows...
