June 25th - send resume and submit online application in the weekly process to make NYS UI happy.
July 10th - get a call asking could I come in on the 12th for interview.
July 12th - interview, that evening get call asking could I come back following week for 2nd interview. Agree.
July 13th - get new call, could I come in before noon to meet with the person who currently holds the position but is being promoted to see if we think it's a fit. Agree. Go in to meet with said person. Then get told to hold on and then meets with Sr. Manager in same department. Meet with Sr. manager then get told "Oh the VP of Operations has ordered in lunch and would like to talk to you over it." Meet with VP. Get walked back to HR and asked to wait a moment. HR Director comes out asked to chat again. Get offered position to start immediately. Condition of going to Pennsic not a problem and they agree to start me as a temp employee for 3 weeks so I can go to war without paperwork/payroll issues. Fill out all the necessary paperwork and get ID badge.
July 16th I start work. 42.5 hour weeks (2.5 hours guaranteed overtime once I am a full employee upon return from war) at a higher rate of pay I had been making at the CPA firm.
Talk about a whirlwind. Pennsic prep plans changed somewhat now. But my hours at least for the time being will be 7-3:30 so I don't lose the whole day for prepping. And if the sewing doesn't get done, oh well. I will only be going for a week so what garb I have will work. I will aim to get at least 1 new sarafan done and finish the pants I started. Most of my focus now has to go into the scrolls that are due.
But holy cow.
