Feast or Famine

Just a quick-quick-quick update....

Company A has resurfaced after flaking for 2 months and assures me that they have not forgotten about me and the Creative Director will be in touch to schedule a meeting.

Company B has contacted me to come in for a 2nd interview today. They are looking for someone on a freelance to perm basis. A try before you buy.

Company C flew me to Washington DC yesterday to meet their home office folks. It went swimmingly and I got a great vibe from everyone I met. Money is not quite where I want it to be, but the benefits package is one of the best I have EVER seen. (How many companies offer their employees discounts on PET INSURANCE?) And we all know how I ended up after chasing the dollar...

Company D called me as I was in the taxi on my way home yesterday and I supposedly have an interview scheduled for tomorrow -- no confirming email yet, so this one is sorta on hold.

Had an interview with Company E on Tuesday, which I am pretty certain is not for me. The guy was kind of a dick -- he had this arrogance that just didn't sit well with me. And suffered from an ailment that so many men are afflicted with -- the "Not as Good-Looking as You Think You Are" disease. More on that later. And more on the "test" he gave me, which was more insulting to me than I think enlightening to him.

Gotta dash.

Promised a pal a coffee, muffin and NY Post (I bought it where no one knows me).
