I had an interview today. The position would pay enough to leave my current job early before they close the doors, even though I wouldn't get my severance. The severance would be nice, but it would be better to have a job than not and still be looking once they close. Of course the ideal situation would be to find something shortly after they close, and get to keep the severance. I could get a new toy or two for the truck. But beggars can't be choosers.

Anyway...if it does happen, then I might be able to make it to the Anniversary run, and I will definitely make it to Moab again this year!

The interview seemed okay, but I'm a horrible judge at how well those things go and I am not the greatest at them in the first place.

Well that didn't work. Didn't get it.

Apparently they value pieces of paper over knowledge. So if I want a similar job with them I need to be certified in documented common sense, basically. Doesn't matter that I do all the crap covered by it already and have for years.

Try being almost 60 and looking for a job with a lot of experience in many things, 2 degrees, yada, yada, yada...out of 200-300 applications out in all sorts of different fields, I have had two actual face to face interviews...And I am in a position where my retirement literally went up in smoke when the Greenwood Village mansion burned, so I am trying to reacquire my retirement fund. Nothing like a little depression to sooth the nerves...

Too bad I am not simply manic depressive. If I was, at least I would know that I wouldn't be feeling down too long..:D

I was really hoping that you would get this...sorry to hear that it didn't work out...
