Well, that was. . .educational

Went on an interview today. Nice people, interesting work that I could do blindfolded and half-asleep -- the only problem is that they're not offering nearly enough money (a problem compounded by the extra-long drive out to Grapevine-- which would mean extra gas at a time when gas costs are rising sharply) and the fact that they wouldn't offer health insurance for six months -- which would mean I'd have to stay with COBRA, which is $410 a month, ouch). So I told the headhunter I didn't think it was a good fit. Judging from his lackluster response, that's probably the last time I'll hear from him.

Which leaves me with the semi-promise of an interview from the headhunter agency I was at yesterday, a whole bunch of resumes making the rounds, and my most sincere hopes that I'm employed by June. In other words, arrgh.

The only thing making this even semi-palatable is the fact that I'm going to Stockholm next week for a couple of days, mainly as a stress-reduction exercise for both Lyndon and me. And since most of my job-hunting is being done on the web right now, I can keep hitting my favorite websites to see what's available and send out resumes when appropriate -- if anyone wants to talk to me, I can do a phone interview from Stockholm and arrange a F2F when I get back.

Such fun. If anyone wonders why I'm stressed, now you know.
