Interviewed yesterday at T-Mobile for an executive secretary job. Gee, I wonder if one of the perks is getting to meet Catherine Zeta-Jones? :) I should've asked.

Plusses: It's similar in scope and intensity as my former job. Other than needing to derustify my knowledge of Excel, the interviewer didn't say anything that caused me alarm. Her boss sounds like my former boss; I'd work for Larry again in a heartbeat, so that sounded good too.

Minus: It's across the water.

Seattle is situated such that pretty much anything is across some kind of water from everything else. This particular company is located on the other side of Lake Washington from downtown Seattle. There are a couple of ways to get there, but because of all the water to get around, the routes are not plentiful and traffic is a nightmare. Yesterday it rained hard and so the roads were slick and drivers cautious. I left the house at 8:30 for a 10AM interview. I got there around 9:30. In the scheme of things, that's about average for this area. The distance is about 28 miles but it takes twice as long as one might expect because of traffic.

So, I dunno. We'll see what happens. They'll be deciding quickly as the person who gets the job must start on 12/30.
