>So to in true Synth-Style I’m posting the good after the bad. That’s usually how I work.

I had a job interview today. Do I dare say who with? Am I giving the secret away? There’s no secret, there’s a long drawn-out interview and application review process, so I don’t see how I’d be giving anyone else an advantage by providing this information…

So here goes!

I had an interview with (St Paul)Travellers today. I was left waiting for about a half an hour, but he eventually came and apologized for keeping me waiting. I did the interview process, and they invited me to listen in to some calls and then said the next contact I would be recieving would be staffing… so I’m hopeful. The position would entail providing technical support to internal customers (agents, people who work for Travellers) who are having trouble with email, or company network connections, that sort of thing.

It was much more technical then I originally thought it to be. I didn’t think I’d be challenged all that much, and apparently it pays pretty well too. It’s a smidge more then I was earning at RCN, so that goal would be met… I could live with that.

It’s a shorter work week, longer hours, but reasonable… before morning traffic, after evening traffic… all a plus. It’s relatively close — Hartford, CT but do-able.

I wasn’t excited about it at first, didn’t want to get stuck in another rut like RCN. I was way too occupied with the money i was earning to care where else I’d be able to go. I think this would give me opportunity for growth, and it’s very multi-facited. There’s a lot of issues that come up, general complaints, and some very in-depth issues.

I was always one to take an issue to completion… and would love to be able to have the power to help the people just trying to do their job.

I’m optimistic, but wary, I have to take a test thingy… can certainly do it, did it for RCN, but worry that something might go wrong. So I’ll stick to my conviction, ride it out, and hopefully get a job that will take me somewhere.

I can’t see how an insurance company could ever go under, so there’s a much smaller risk factor, and I may even get some bonuses like cheap insurance and the like. So it has some pluses, I just don’t want to get myself all excited over something and then not have it pan out, or fail…

It’s 4am right now. I have a test in the afternoon, and have to drive in the morning to go get my laptop (and digital camera) that I forgot. How the fuck can I forget $2000 worth of equipment? .:sigh:. How can I ever suceed at life if I keep making stupid mistakes like this?

I am hoping for the best, it’s a bank afteral. =]
