TAN = Thread About Nothing

we just chit chat, used to be a lot of food talk in here (where should i go for lunch?  i just ate a burrito the size of my head!  etc) but also travel and occasionally racing.

Food talk. Two weeks until I leave central MO and have access to interesting food again I've got a list of places to hit in Tucson while I'm back there. CAN NOT WAIT!

Job talk: can only land a phone interview in Newport News. Not crazy about not benig there in person prior to accepting. Considering bagging the whole thing, returning to AZ and working until grant $$ runs out again...

 

 

that's really strange that they wouldn't WANT you to see Newport News/meet people/etc in the interview process.

Can they even do a skype or video interview??  I went through 6 phone interviews and 2 video interviews before I was hired, and didn't meet a single person face to face until my first week of work.

Ya most of my interviews for my current job were video interviews (but maybe working for the cable company that shouldn't be a surprise). But I was interviewing for a job in the town I live - my bosses are the ones in a different city.

I'd DEFINITELY want to see a town before committing to LIVING there!! Can you accept the job on contingency that you don't hate the city once you visit?

Yeaaaahhh - you'd think it would be something all important or something, but nope!  I'm a paralegal for an intellectual property law firm.  I work in patent prosecution and patent litigation.  It's just that the head office is in Atlanta and I was living in Chicago at the time.

If the phone interview happens and goes well, I'll visit the city while I'm home for Thanksgiving for my final decision... if they will wait that long.

We met with a realtor last night and are hoping to have our house on the market by Jan 1 also!  We just need more space (and less junk)

My last role = 1 interview and then I had an offer

My current role = 2 recruiter phone interviews, 1 in-person panel interview with 3 people, 1 in-person interview with 1 leader, 2 video interviews with separate leaders.

To be fair though, I applied for a different job than I have - so there was a change of course in the middle.

Much the same for me... my last law firm I had 1 day of in-person interviews and got offered the job

The current law firm was:

2 recruiter phone calls
1 call with the head of the paralegal department,
1 call with the client specialist paralegal to make sure I knew what I was talking about,
3 phone interviews with the lawyers (1 each),
1 video interview with the partner, and
1 video interview with HR and the head of the paralegal department where they offered me the job at the end.

Exciting!

Just a head's up.  Most of the time they have SO many upgrades and options that a house you thought was in your price range can get expensive...  Kind of like getting a new car with all the options you can add but 100x worse.

BUT, if you plan to live in it for the long haul, you should also be happy and get what you want.  My only advice is to spend on conveniences, and not cosmetics (unless the stock option is ugly)...  But that's me.  Central vac and all rooms wired for data/sound is probably more important to me than a different color of travertine tile that's $3 a squire foot more.  I think you always get tired of how something looks and want a change, but never tire of things that make life easier.

Just my 0.02.  Exciting times though.  I'm jealous.

Second to last Monday here in chilly, boring central MO.

How was everyone's Halloween? Any awesome costumes? I was the Good Idea Fairy (the mythical military creature that gives stupid ideas to people).

Not sure about all small towns, but we only had 6 kids trick or treat on Friday night.  Amazing it was that low of a turn out and it wasn't even a cold day.

I only had about a dozen or so kids.  My neighbor had forgotten to buy candy so I gave her a  bunch of mine as i had clearly over bought. 

In other news my SECOND maid of honor for my wedding in SIX WEEKS bailed on me thursday. By text message. To which I replied "OK" Then she had the nerve to go off on me the next day also by text concluding with "I know its all about you" YES as a matter of fact it IS all about me as its MY WEDDING.  She has been replaced.  Also we are now 4 days cat puke free at my house.  This is VERY noteworthy as I have been dealing with daily cat vomit for several months.

Because I know everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats over this one...........cat puke free days = 0 but it was the other cat. Fur ball.  Oliver puke free days = 5 Tucker cat puke free days = 0.  Tucker rarely throws up and it was definitely a fur ball.  He is long haired.  Happens.

I like to think that Tucker was like "hey, no one has puked around here in days! I'm going to fix that"

To avoid a myriad of injuries (joint pain to your knees, ankles, hips, shin splints, foot pain, bruises), it’s invaluable to find the right running shoes.
