Had a job interview today

Captain Morgan · 07-01-2009, 06:33 PM

I think it went well, but won't know anything for a month, maybe more. Gov't position, which is why it will be so long before finding anything out. Should start on Aug 31st, if selected and it will pay about 2-3k more than I'm making now, with the benefit of gov't pension, benefits, etc. It would also get me back to a normal work week, which will have it's pros and cons, but at least it's in my home town and I won't have a 1.5 hour drive to work.

Well hopes and prayers you get it Avery.

Im with you on the waiting for govt jobs. Thats all Ive been applying for and just started hearing back from a few after about a month or two for each. Of course mine would more than double my income since I still work retail for the time being...

Good luck man.

Having just started a Gov't job 6 weeks ago...I can tell you that it is GREAT. And I took a 21% pay raise over TV news.

Where the hell you been?! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Hows the house?

t-homo · 07-02-2009, 10:32 AM

Glad to hear it man. Hopefully you can save up the would be gas money and the extra you are making to get a bike. It's about time you got back on one.

The house is probably where he's been.

Thanks all. House is going slow, been spending time with the little one, working for my dad and playing poker, just trying to get some money put together to get some stuff done to the house and save up for a bike.

As for saving gas money, I'm not sure how much I'll save. I'll be driving my car for part of the work, but will get reimbursed for mileage. Maybe I'll take all my "mileage money" and put it into a bike fund if I get the job. Need to remodel the garage before I get a bike though, as it's just a one car, but there is extra storage space behind it, but no way to get a bike in there yet.

I'll be hit and miss on here, but will keep you posted.

Oh, and after looking through some of the threads, I feel like this:
