I clearly have too many places to share certain types of information… I completely forgot to post here and now it’s a non-issue.

I had a series of interviews for a temp-to-perm job the last two weeks. I ended up not getting it, but I’m not upset about it. Over the course of the nearly 3 weeks since I was first contacted to determine my interest, we went from “occasional overtime” to “a couple days a month” to “I’m so backed up that you’re going to be putting in 2-3 hours a day every day for 4-6 weeks”. The interviews went really well and in the end it was down to me and one other candidate. They ended up going with the other person in the end, and I think it was because I have kids and they were concerned about my ability to work that much overtime. I had family lined up and ready to cover so I could take it, even though I was having doubts myself. In the end, I’m glad that she decided to pass me over. It would have been nice to have gotten all that overtime pay, but it would have been a major strain on the family situation. I do have other irons in the fire.

I’m back in the stitching groove as well, putting several hours into Autumn Sunset Sampler as well as working on a crocheted scarf during church. Half an hour a day, one day a week…. this is an awfully slow scarf. Then again, so are all of my other projects lately.

I’ve had a rash of new user registrations in the last week or so. No comments waiting for approval to go along with them, though. So far, only one of them came up with anything on a google search, and that “person” got deleted as the only hit was a spam post elsewhere. I find it interesting that they’re actually registering accounts and not just trying to enter comments (which I did test and is possible, but they sit in “awaiting moderation” or get stopped by the spam filter).

Anyway, another interview today! This is the one that I was waiting to have set up last week. This is another law firm, temp-to-perm assignment for one attorney in the Loop.

I had an interview yesterday with an attorney in a nearby suburb. The job sounds great, he sounds like he’s interested in me, but he’s not planning to have someone start until after tax season. The office is very sterile, and that concerns me because I work much better with music and he does not like having music playing in the office (I asked because of how bare people’s desks are). I’ll take it if offered and I’m still available.

I then had a phone interview today – yes, on Saturday – for a work-from-home typing opportunity for an attorney downtown. He’s temporarily displaced from his office because of an environmental issue, and his assistant recently relocated to another state. So there’s a possibility of an office position once things get settled down in the building. It almost sounds like I’ve got the work-from-home portion clinched, at least, but I’m not counting on it because that’s just the way things seem to go for me.

I also have a potential interview for next week with yet another office. The coordinator at the staffing agency called on Friday to feel out my interest level, she’s trying to get more info and has my availability so she can go ahead and schedule the interview for me without further delay.

And I’m stitching! I spent a little time on the Christmas Fairy while at my parents’ house last week, plus a couple hours today on Autumn’s Sunset Sampler while playing an online game with my father.

The import old posts project is on hold at the moment, mostly just because I had other things that were grabbing my attention. I’ll get back to that sooner or later.

And odd, I’m now seeing an RSS error on my dashboard… “XML Error, out of memory at line 1, column 0″. Make any sense to anyone?
