Out.

There hasn't been much going on this summer. Just riding my bike around and that's about it. No races, no weekend trips, nothing note worthy. What I have been doing is working and it can be a real pain in the ass. I've been on about 11 interviews in the past month and a half. It is a process that I hate so much.  Not the interview itself, but the runaround that follows afterward. Everyone takes forever to get back to you and it gets real nerve racking. The average wait time seems to be three weeks. So I got notified that I had gotten a position at US Bank in downtown St. Paul in the administrative services unit closing out Trusts. I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork and then wait almost a week to get fingerprinted to make sure that I am not a criminal. The day I did the fingerprinting I found out that I got an interview at Prime Therapeutics for the following Wednesday. So I started at US Bank and everyone there was really cool and welcoming. It was an alright job, but I could see that I would be bored with it after a few months. I went to the Prime interview and things went well. I got a call that Friday that I had gotten the position at Prime and I was very excited because the pay was almost double that of US Bank. It brought a sense of relief that I wasn't going to have to struggle to make ends meet and that I would be able to get back to be able to go do shit that I wanted to do. I needed to go to some training the following Monday so I had to let US Bank know that I was not coming back. They were not too happy about it, but you have to look out for number one. US Bank wasn't exactly looking out for me either... So this past week I went to training which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Now I have this coming week off and start full time at Prime on the 6th. I am really looking forward to it. It seems like a great place to work. I still have 2 interviews pending but unless they make me a GREAT offer, I will be staying at Prime.
