dolariWell, 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...

Less money is better than no money and if you are heading in the direction you want, the rest will work itself out. Don't be fooled by the $14.25 an hour job. Concentrate on the $12 job.
Your in my prayers/thoughts/blessings/spells. My best to you.
