Mar. 31st, 2004 08:08 pmI should have known that today was going to be "interesting" when I woke up about 30 minutes after I should have. Gah.
But today was okay. And even better, I left to the interview not unhappy. That was *wonderful*. WONDERFUL!
What's up with Kaiser's application system. The freakin' application took longer than my "interview." 45 minutes to be exact. I mean, really, how many of you keep track of every job that you've had for the last 10 years. Not just what job, but dates, ADDRESSES and CONTACTS. But, please.
And you know what else? Why, why, WHY do you have me fill out the same piece of information 8 different times? WHY? Why do you need to know why I'm leaving this job? Why? Why do you need to know if I've gotten parking tickets, or why I'm applying for a new job, or everywhere that I've lived in the last 7 years? WHY? Hell, had they asked me if they could do a credit check, I would have killed (last job interview asked that).
And their desk staff are kinda stuck up. Gah.
The guy that I sat and spoke to was cool. Only a quick HR screen, and he set me up with two 2nd interviews, with department managers. One job is a part time with benefits that pays about the same I make now, but with not near enough hours. The other job pays more, with no benefits and is a temporary position. I have to sleep on both and just deal with them after I see what they're all about.
In other sillyness, my boss realized after talking with Dave that neither of us got our anniversary raises. So, even if I do leave, I get retro-active raise (6 months worth) on next month's paycheck, and if I stay, I'll reap the benefits of a higher salary. GAH. Happens everytime I get ready to leave. And the funny part is that even had I *not* told her about this, it still would have happend.
But hey, I was home by 4:15 today, so it's all good.
