My first interview in over twenty years went well.

Second interview (if there is one) will be next week. (bouncing cause I expect to be hired)
If I'm hired the down side is: I'll be away from DU when I'm working.

My dad got tired of it after 10 years. It gets lonely.

Plus, I'd really like a steady paycheck. Being rich for a week and broke while I'm waiting for the next job has gotten old.

When I told the interviewer I prefer salary plus commission jobs, Bo (the interviewer) smiled. We did agreed that salaried sales people sometimes become complacent. He was thrilled with my past job history as a manager for Carvel.
