Hrm. Where to start?

I suppose I should mention that tomorrow’s my last day at my current job. That’s pretty interesting, in and of itself. Gives me time to write, to weed the garden, to paint, to cook, and to take care of the dog.

It also requires that I find another form of employment post-haste. Weird thing is, I quit a job that’s *really hard to get*. And though now I have experience with the process, the “proper” official title, and a couple relatively high profile games under my belt (one success, one less so), I feel like at least getting interviews should be easier.

And perhaps they are. I’ve had three phone interviews, one of which turned into a full-blown interview interview. The two that didn’t didn’t because I was missing a critical skill that the position required – no big letdown there, as I knew they were looking for something different. This job seemed to be a pretty good fit, though, and given that I got the interview, I was feeling pretty good. Afterwards, my feelings were somewhat mixed – it’s the first interview I’ve had in a couple years, and didn’t give my best showing. Still, I thought I did ok.

So, disappointment naturally looms, if you actually read the title of this post. Apparently, there’s still *some* possibility it’ll come together, but that’s pretty damn remote at this point. Which sort of sucks. I think this is only the second time I’ve ever gone to an interview and not gotten an offer. On top of that, I thought I had a reasonable showing, so that was pretty disappointing, again. *sigh*

There’s a reasonable number of companies in the area that have potential openings for me, so I’ve still got some things to chase down. But still, rejection’s disappointing, and the uncertain future, though full of potential, becomes a little more worrying.
