Got a Nibble!

lwoodI'm looking for work for the first time in two years -- need to settle some old debts and make sure that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
countgeiger can have what I wished him last Yule: some kind of attainable happiness, incarnated as a boat named Amelia.
Got a nibble. 8-)
It's only one bus ride away, too, and firmly in the 510. I'd rather not drive for general environmental responsibility reasons.
It's just the kind of stuff I'm looking for: mixed desktop/server, heterogenous network environment to keep me from getting bored, and not even a whisper of pager duty. Looking at the reqs, it'll pay a lot less than I'm used to, but will also have far, far, less stress.
While computer geekery will probably always be important to me, and I enjoy working in it, it's not my primary joy anymore, and I'm not going to let it eat my life like it did when I worked at Hotmail.
But these folks... they want a phone interview; I gave them two one-hour slots. We'll see what happens!

Date: 2004-09-10 08:55 am (UTC)I can tell the IT market is recovering... I got my first headhunter call since 9/11 the other day. Would I like to do an 80-100% travel position for about $30K more than I make now. ("No, thanks.")
