I had my "exit interview" for the job I didn't get today. It was short, and went well, really -- I wanted to know how my writing/proofreading test had gone, and I was told it was exceedingly good, with perhaps a little tweaking needed for the specific "donor" style. My interview itself went well too; basically it was a case of "these guys know more" rather than "you did something wrong". Which is what I suspected anyway. The good news is, they really do want me in the department and are looking at opening a third position if they can get the budget for it, so it may simply be a case of hanging on for another month or two.

But I am applying to other jobs within the company -- I applied to one yesterday, and I'm waiting for one to be posted which my interviewers specifically want to see me go for. So, things go on apace. At any rate, I feel a little wrung out, but there's some nice closure there, which one doesn't normally get after a job application.

This month is not going to be precisely calm. We're ramping up for an event at work, plus I'm only at home for I think one weekend out of four. My dishes may never get washed again. My dayplanner looks like it's been attacked by post-it notes.

I will, especially, be out a lot this weekend, which means I won't have a lot of prep time for Radio Free Monday. It'd be a big help if anyone who's planning to link me could do so by tomorrow afternoon. I'll try to work in later submissions, but I can't guarantee anything -- I'll be using a teeny tiny laptop and then only in the evenings. If you've linked me in the past week, no need to reiterate, your stuff is all prepped.

And now I'm going to go collapse for a while.
