Job Offer

Today I received a job offer from the company in Livermore. It is owned by two brothers. I liked them. They seemed like nice people. The offer is very good. The only thing that worries me is that I will be the only office person. During the interview, one of the owners' wife expressed concern about my having little ones and taking days off (I know. Her questions are illegal). However, when speaking to one of the brothers, he said that my hours could be flexible, as long as I get my work done. I am really liking them even more. I told them that I had more potential job offers and wanted to think it over during the weekend and will give him my answer on Tuesday. Livermore is about an hour or so from Rio Vista so that is something to consider.

I interviewed with the CPA firm. The owner is very nice. I liked him. He is geeky, like me and I totally understood him in the quirky way he explained things because I am like that too. However, the pay is less than I want but the potential for learning and moving on to another CPA firm as a CPA candidate is very good. In addition, I asked if I could help out during the tax crunch and he said that once I master my job, I could. I like taxes, at least the ones I have done so far (mine and Rob's). The owner said that he will make a decision around mid-week, next week. The CPA firm is about a half hour away from home.

I guess I have a lot of thinking to do this weekend.

As for my second sock (yes. I am still working on it), I arrived at both interviews about a half hour early and sat in my vehicle knitting before the interviews. I am on the foot.
