Interesting opportunity

As I mentioned yesterday, I had an interview this afternoon. I wasn’t sure what to think going into it since it was for an aviation company and not a web design company. But it seems like it would be a good opportunity. The only thing I’m concered about there is that it would entail learning new programming languages. I guess they use a lot of perl there, and the database is Postgres. I just don’t know. I do like learning new things, but I’m most comfortable programming in php.

And last nite, I got an email from my former employer asking if I would be interested in doing contract work for them. I AM interested, but I’m concerned about my availability. Right now, everything is up in the air. And I hate that. I have interviewed for 4 positions now. I *should* hopefully hear back from them this week. At least I hope I do. If I was offered one of the positions (and accepted), then I wouldn’t be available for many hours to do the contract work. And I don’t want to leave them in a bind (by starting something that I can’t finish). I emailed him back to let him know this. I got a subsequent email from saying there is a possibility that they *might* have full-time work available again. It depends on how negotiations go. If they do have full-time work available again, I would be willing to go back. As long as my pay rate was at least the same as before. AND as long as I wasn’t offered a better opportunity (i.e. more money) elsewhere.

I guess I should be in good spirits. I do have several opportunities. I just hate this not knowing. And I REALLY hate not having an income right now. Hopefully everything will be sorted out by the end of the month or at least during the first week or 2 of October. I really want things to get back to some semblance of normal soon.
