Possibilities

This week has seen me consumed with the possibility of getting back to work. I've had two interviews with a new company coming into Maine, a company that recruited me, and seems to offer everything I value in a company. Of course there are serious complications if I get the job...like training out of state for 10 weeks, and ohhh, what do I do with my kid? I've vowed to only concentrate on getting the job first, and saving the angst for afterwards so that I don't psyche myself right out of it.
The thought of starting over again is exciting, because I've had about enough of sitting at home and waiting for calls. The economy stinks, and even though the ads are out there for jobs, there are SO many people out of work that employers need to wade thru piles of applicants before they can find ME. And there are also tons of people who command a lower salary than I do because they can do the job but have less experience. But the reality is I'm a single income family, and I have to maintain my requirements for money simply because at the end of the day, I've got to be able to pay the bills. It's been fun lounging about, but now the money is getting tight because my safety net is used up and I'm relying solely on unemployment....ouch!
So I've passed the first two interviews, and my third, and hopefully final one is next Friday, the 11th. In Boston. Fun. I'll be taking the bus down because between the cost of fuel and tolls, it's cheaper to do it that way than to drive. I'm nervous, and curious, and excited all at the same time.
