Seattle likes me.

Just a quick note to say things are going well. Extremely busy, in fact. I have a full-time freelance gig with an agency here in Bellevue for the next few weeks. That could turn into a permanent thing. And I had an interview this afternoon for a great tech company in Seattle, which went pretty well, I think. And there’s also a possibility I could be telecommuting full-time for an agency in Dallas. That’s pretty much all I can say now, but stay tuned.

Living with Robert & Donna in Bellevue has been such a great thing. I’m so lucky! The only thing I’d ask of this city is — more sun, please! It’s still summer, I think — right, world?

OK, I know. I went into this eyes wide open. Sun was not part of the everyday package — more a nice-to-have-when-it-shows-up thing.

But . . . we are still in August, right?

Job Hunt Jive

Okay, it’s not true (as I may have said in an exasperated moment or two) that the Only job anyone has approached me about is with a certain cell phone company in Bellevue. But criminy — three messages today from three different staffing agencies about the same job. I started getting email about this particular position back in June. So I finally agreed to have one reputable agency I’d worked with before represent me in the matter. That was two weeks ago. Since then, five or six other agents have called or emailed me saying I’d be perfect for it, even offering more money.

Do I have an interview yet? I do not. What’s the smart thing to do in this situation, I’m asking myself.
