I have a job interview at 3 p.m. I'm pretty nervous that I'm going to blabber on and talk with my hands and not finish a single sentence. The part of me that knows I have the right experience and skills for this needs to smother the freaked out part of me.
If I get it, I'll be able to:
--Bike or bus there in under half an hour (and shower in their gym if necessary).
--Get to play with spreadsheets, then use the information to help communities deal with foreclosures.
--Stop working from home in the evenings.
--Afford to put Leo in preschool next fall, which he and I would both appreciate.
--Pay my SIL to watch the boys this spring, an ideal situation because she wants the work and I don't want to put Peter in a new situation for 3 months.
--Work three days a week and be home the other days.
--Pay off our student loans by June and have a full emergency fund by fall.
--Gain more work experience before my last project becomes ancient history.
I'm sort of torn because this would probably delay our having another baby -- I'd feel bad getting pregnant right after starting. Leo would end up spending 9+ hours at a preschool/daycare three days a week and I think he'd love it, but I still feel weird knowing he'd be away from me that much. He's going to be lonely otherwise with Peter at all-day kindergarten next year, though, and I don't really want to pay for preschool unless I'm working more. The job is almost ideal for my background and I love the idea of using the information I'm analyzing to directly help people.
We'll see how it goes.
