Don't Quit Your Day Job

I called the lady I interviewed with yesterday afternoon. She told me that they had filled the position but that the only thing that kept me from getting it was my availability. They were looking for someone who would be able to ramp up their hours to full time during the end of the year. They wanted someone willing to give up weekends during crunch time. I knew that to begin with. I was up front and honest about the fact that I could not and would not be able to come in any earlier than the hours they had posted in the job description and that I was willing to work some weekends but did not desire a full time position. She had thanked me for being up front but still wanted to interview me saying that possibly they could work around that by hiring a temp to come in or something. I guess it just turned out that they found someone whose availibility was more flexible. It makes sense for them to hire someone who can be there when they need them instead of two people. I am not upset about it. If she had said that they just didn't feel that I would work out or that they didn't feel I was qualified, then I would have been upset. I don't think I am going to actively look for another job. If something pops up I may consider it but I am not going to go work some minimum wage retail job. It just isn't worth my time.

Savannah legally starts "school" this year and Hope is very ready to start right along with her, legal or not. Between them, keeping up with Logan's inquiring mind, and running the (soon to be) enormous household, and working on all of my hobbies I have half started, I think I will stay pretty busy. I really could have used the cash though. Oh well.
