Packing and Interviewing

Well, packing is going slowly, but then quite frankly there isn’t that much left to pack. We boxed up the garage yesterday, and took stuff to Goodwill. We still need to go through the master bedroom closet and pull out clothes that can also go to Goodwill. I have two sets of crutches and a couple of canes left over from my ankle surgeries that need to be donated…somewhere. Not sure just where yet, but I’d like to take them someplace where they’ll do some good. Did lunch at Suchi yesterday with Datahawk – very tasty Indian food, and I’m always a sucker for mango lassi. For dinner we went out to Playmakers and played some trivia and had (so-so) chicken sandwiches and pizza for dinner. Tonight it’s “let’s save money and eat in” night, with pork roast or pork chops, depending on whether I feel like cutting up the roast or not.

The phone interview yesterday went reasonably well, though it’s strange interviewing for a chemical engineering position with a company that has never employed a chemical engineer before. There is a distinction between someone who knows how to make a product, how to package the product, and how to apply the product – I have experience with the first two but not the last, which is what they want. I would feel comfortable doing it, and they are aware of my lack of experience – let’s see just how big of a risk they’re willing to take.

On the agenda for today: wake up Datahawk eventually (she was coughing terribly last night and probably didn’t sleep well, so I’m just going to let her sleep as late as she likes), have lunch with Thomas, then pack up the living room closet and bathroom cabinets when we get back. Tomorrow is the biggie: packing up the kitchen. Then on Saturday we’ll pack up the last bits and stage it all in the dining room and move it all out on Sunday, whee. I’m very rapidly approaching the stage where I just want it done.

Hmm – I should probably change some more addresses online. Off to take care of that…
