No, you don't get to see a picture.

Thompson-West
Apr. 13th, 2007 07:33 pmRob had a phone interview with the legal publisher Thomson-West (perhaps you have heard of Westlaw) that went well. It sounds as though they'll be setting up a second interview for him.
I am trying to not get my hopes up too high but . . . yeah. A good job, real soon now, would be very welcome.
It's a good company which is on the Working Mother's list of 100 Best Companies to work for, so family friendly. They staff around the clock, 24/7, and the new people on the totem pole get the bottom pick of hours. But on the plus side, you know your schedule two months in advance (as opposed to only a week in advance, as it was at his old job) and you only work three weekend days every two months, and never two in the same weekend. A definite improvement.
And I hope they don't have Thanksgiving Day sales.

kijjohnson's inspired birthday present for me this year is a weekend in Seattle to see her home and meet her friends. I have arrived safely and am now with her in her darling little apartment, meeting her new cat Hestia (I have taken an allergy pill. We will see how it goes). We had dinner at a wonderful Mexican restaurant, Senor Moose (one of my stated goals for the weekend is to have all sorts of food that my family wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. I had the rockfish.) We stopped for groceries and then arrived here, and will make an early night of it, probably. But we will be up for playing all weekend.
Oops. The first sneeze. Well, it won't spoil my fun.
