Voodoo Child v. 17: Welcome to the One Woman Show

To sum up my interview, it was a very long day, one that started at 8:30 and went until 3:30. It was a good learning experience, but one that even if I don't get it, I will be very happy to have experienced. The staff I met with and the students as well were quite wonderful and easy to get to know. They were clearly excited about what it meant to be a part of that academic community, and that means a lot to me.

I spoke with my boss about my interview, and that was refreshingly sane. I half thought about what would have been the right way to leave, and I think I'd rather be honest than front about leaving and bounce with a two week's notice. To be fair to my colleagues, and they really are friends as well, I need to give good notice and make sure that everything I'm doing supports everyone, including the people I'm leaving behind.

I have some mixed feelings about leaving: new places, new faces, promises made to students to be there for them, etc. It's going to be a tough transition either way, but like I said, this was a good experience for me. I love where I work, but there are times to move and learn new things, and this is one of those times for me.

I won't get into detail, but like most interviews for staff at the higher education arena usually looks like this: meet with students, support staff, laterals, and supervisors. Oh and throw in a lunch too. These meetings are an hour each, and you're going to be seen by 3-6 people each time. So now you know why I was so tired. I came home, passed out, and woke up at 10PM. Didn't sleep until 2.

And again, you want to know how I did? Here's a video for you. Turn up yo speakers, and bounce with me.

Love from,

Voodoo
