I just got back from my second interview in Granite City. I got the job! I’ll be starting November 10th, about a week and a half away. I’m mildly excited about getting the job, and that will change to wild excitement when I have finished the first year and the future looks good. It really sounds to me like a good company, and the guys I have interviewed with seem like they’ll be good people to work with.
This means that hopefully sometime in mid to late December, I’ll be moving up there. Until then, I’m not looking forward to the 120 miles of driving every day. It took about 70-80 minutes eah way to get up there and back, which really isn’t that much worse than the 50-65 minutes it always took to get downtown during rush hour. Two tanks fo gas every three days will be spendy though.
I am excited about the prospects of moving. I love my parents, and very much appreciate that they’ve given me a place to live rent-free for the last two and a half years, but I am more than ready to move into my own place.
