Torn.
Thursday, November 2nd, 2006Tomorrow, I have an interview for a real person job, and these people actually know that I am not available for a two-year engagement. Hell, they even know that I am not available for even one year. The company I am interviewing with happens to know quite a bit about me, because I already work for them, in fact, they have a paycheck with my name on it, I am interviewing tomorrow to write content for Kaplan.
This is one of those things where if I get hired, I have to take it. This job is just too happy and too professional a marriage of my skills and interests (science, writing) to ignore. That said, it would force me to leave La Focaccia the job of my current three that takes the most hours and gives me the most money.
But though a newbie to the food biz, I’m getting really, really good, and cool things are happening. Customers love me. People in the neighborhood know me, and know what I’m about. And since I’ve started working there, more people have started coming during lunch. I mean, I’ll call a shoe a shoe when I see it, and perhaps …
My coworkers are wonderful, they care about me, and tend to not let me leave without more free food to go. And I’m finally fluent in epañol. Oh, yo hablo. Todos veces, cada día. I don’t really want to leave, but at the same time, this restaurant manager job has been and would be a sort of professional honeymoon. Either way, I’m wearing a suit tomorrrow, and shiny black shoes.
Job interview number 11 (but who’s counting) here I come
