I've slept all I can and I can sleep no more. Went to bed at 11PM, and my body decided it had slept enough at 5AM.

It's funny...the first thought about the new job, and my stomach just churned. If I'm not careful, I'll give myself an ulcer.

I hope this interview goes well...I so want out of the phone tech biz.

I'm going to have a job either way. Katrus' adventures with his T-Mobile sidekick has made me think about getting one. What say y'all?

It'd be great for surfing at work away from the prying eyes of my job, AND staying on AIM when I'm at work. Assuming one of the jobs doesn't steamroll me. :)

It's also a lot smaller than a dreamcast. :)

Well, the First Job never called, so I think I'm in the clear.

The Interview at the Second Job went well, although there were a few snags. (1) I misunderstood what the job was. I thought it was pulling files off damaged hard drives. It's not. It's taking files from hard drives, converting them to TIFFs and indexing them to a database. (2) I got the idea that this is a Very Entry Level job. As in, they're looking for kids, and I'm WAY overqualified. Mainly a comment he made about "My resume may be scaring people off." (3) The job is more machinework than actual document creation.

However.

I qualify for virtually everything else they do on top of the job they're asking for (creating guides, digitizing video, making legal briefs look pretty. It is NOT a multinational corporation about to move everyone over to India at the drop of a hat and it's NOT phone work.

I think it's going to come down to money now. The Job I Don't Want to Do for $14.25? Or the job that could get me going down the Document Creation world for $12 an hour? Dunno...I'll play that game when (if) it happens.

I talked to Nikki for an hour about everything...I'm pretty scattered to begin with, and very phone-o-phobic (tech support does that to you - I have to concentrate not to answer with the Dell Spiel) so it was a semi disjointed conversation from me. I tried, though! She sang some songs for me, and I can't get over how much I like her voice.

And now I'm fighting sleep. I'd nap, but my nap would quickly become an 8 hour sleep, and that would screw up my sleep scehdule even MORE.

...maybe a little nap...
