I returned Monday evening from my short trip to yankeeville for a job interview. My high-school friend Boanna, who is in the Master’s program at John Hopkins, was kind enough to pick me up from the airport and cart me around all afternoon Sunday. We headed down to Washington, D.C. and spent most of the day walking around and seeing the sights. One of the highlights was that we got to see G.W. land at the White House in Marine One, and of course the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. If it weren’t for the 40 mile-per-hour winds and temperatures in the low 40’s, it would have been a perfect trip.

   
   

Monday I spent most of the morning in interviews and waiting for interviews. I liked the atmosphere of the job, and I liked the people there a lot. It looks like a very interesting place to work, and the job they offered me is something that would put to use most of my varied experience, from RF and Hardware through to software development. They made me an offer, but it’s not anything set in stone—it’s just a conditional offer pending other processing that may take up to six months. At that time I’ll know for sure whether or not I actually still have a job waiting. In the meantime, I’m going to keep looking – something better just might come along and not require me to wait 6 months and move 2000 miles, but it would be hard-pressed for another job to compensate as well as this one would, so I’ll just have to wait and see how things go.
