felt like a good interview

actually, a very good feeling... partly because the president of the place appeared easy to read and in need of help... no arrogance, ego, or paranoia like the last two bosses i worked for... a genuine sense of please help us as opposed to a formal grilling and typical interview discomfort... perhaps we shall be friends... though she may be a bit too ensconced in dressing to impress (though that is a requirement in this town, so to truly be well connected is a challenge unless you play that snobbish game)... i sense someone who is hanging on as well as she can and welcoming help with trust as opposed to hanging on as well as she can and demanding help with no trust... fun?... not totally out of the question...

the job, however, is ridiculously underpaid and over-worked... it is pretty much doing everything needed as much as possible including Risk, Quality, Utilization, Compliance, Safety, Human Resources, direct supervision and a whole lot more... more than the previous insane job for about the same money... on the plus side, there is the rapport and sense of team i felt, which is so vital to a happy workplace no matter how much work there is... the physical environment is old southern mansions (ok, small mansions, but 8-10 bedroom homes with circular porches and huge entryways and large staircases, if you know what i mean) as opposed to sterile corporate offices... and then there is the proximity, about ten minutes away without tolls (even less without traffic), which saves thousands a year in transportation expenses...

if they offer, i will take it... for the alternatives i've applied for would cost at least $300 a month in transportation, so unless they offered $5000 or more over what this job is offering, it would not be worth it financially... those jobs would be less comfortable, though probably less work... still, the pros for this one, at least for the moment, outweigh the cons in my mind...
