well...

bad news HR called to tell me that they have offered the job i interviewed for to someone else. i understand - they were looking for someone with a very specific skill-set and experience that i just don't have. i'm sure i could have handled the role, but it would have been a learning experience for me. they wanted someone could just come in and rock out i guess. oh well. potentially good news they liked me though and think they might have a better role for me, however this role does not exist as of yet. so it could be good/great news if they create this role soon and offer it to me, but... potential disaster if this role doesn't materialize, i'm not sure what else i can do. there just aren't that many roles in the office up here so if something doesn't work out soon i will have to leave the company and enter the daunting world of unemployment, external job hunting (ugh power suit shopping!) and interviewing. in addition, a new non-capital one job would very likely be in boston proper, making our current day care arrangement obsolete. god i hope i don't have to job hunt while day care hunting again. and we definitely can't swing two mortgages on one salary. boo.
