job hunt update:

For those who wonder if I have a job or not, this is the most recent update.

Here is the email the guy I interviewed with sent me:
thanks for the thanks! It was nice meeting you in person. You have a lot of potential, and I enjoyed seeing your work in person. We are interested in talking with you further regarding a junior design position in the firm, but unfortunately our timing is a little off. Our highest priority right now is finding an Action Script/HTML/Flash web person - and until we have filled that position we can't really bring on another designer. We also need to finalize our move into our new space. Are you under a tight time line to find work? What i would propose is that we touch base at the end of next month if you are still available. Let me know what you think.

Does that mean if I wait another two months they will have a job for me? I guess I'll have to ask him. Maybe I should just take the job here at "The Rex" to be a secretary with graphic design experience. It is a movie theater with a bowling alley. I could be Pam in real life, except instead of working for a paper company, it would be a movie theater who Madison County forgave $80,000 worth of taxes they couldn't pay so they would stay in business. Maybe it would actually be a good thing. My working there for two months would help them get more business. Right? My design and secretarial skills would really help them.

A sign

Today I had a job interview in Boulder Colorado. Not only do I LOVE Boulder, it went really well. He took me out to lunch (literally) and showed me their new office space right by the Pearl Street Mall. Their company is really a lot bigger and better than I expected. There are five partners and they just merged with some architects so they can do more environmental graphics and stuff like that. I am afraid to write the name of the company because they will probably track me to my blog and leave a comment, but it does have the words ARCHEtecture TYPEography and the number 5 for five partners. No, not Pentagram. He didn't really leave me with any impression of if I would get the job or not. He has to talk to his partner. But I have had a sign that it will happen. And this is what it is. My dad and I ate at the Pei Wei Asian Diner and I picked out my fortune cookie and said, lets see if I get this job or not. This is what I read when I opened it:
"You will spend many years in comfort and material wealth."
What did my dad's say? "You will witness a miracle."
So, I am pretty much a shoe-in for this job. Even if they don't want to hire me, the stars are lined up against them. So, if you need anything important to happen, go to Pei Wei. Hopefully no one from there will stalk me to my blog.
