That escalated quickly
Last Wednesday I applied for a contract position at Tech Unicorn (name withheld) mainly because I knew I probably wouldn't hear back from them and also because I know that for unemployment you have to show you have at least applied for jobs.
Thursday I hear back from a friend and former coworker who works there now that they are desperately looking for someone and I ended up having a last minute in-person interview with 2 people. Now today Tuesday I learned that they want to move forward and will start background checks. SO I guess there goes my full-time writing dream for the moments.
I'm not complaining at all because a sistah still has bills to pay and my last gig ended a month before I was expecting, so extra $$ will definitely be helpful. The good news is that all overtime for this position needs to be approved ahead of time, so it's not like my last contract position where the expectation was you are somewhat available 24/7. The other BEST news is that this position is in San Francisco and not all the way down in South Bay, so my commute time is going to be like 40-60 minutes a day vs 90-120.
Now I need to come up with a schedule that will fit in fulltime work, working out and writing.
