Interviewing

A bit over a month ago, my company announced the closure of my entire site (dig what Josh blogged about it here). This is a drag in a lot of ways, not only for those of us at the site but for a lot of people in the community and for the great state of Michigan as well. One of the unpleasant upshots of this closure is that I'm back in the job market, which means that I have to interview.

It's like being in a beauty contest every day. And it kind of wears on you. The uncertainty is the worst. But I was thinking about a book I read recently, "The Hungry Years: A Narrative History of the Great Depression in America," by T. H. Watkins. Maybe I don't have it so bad. I have the luxury of viewing this whole experience as an opportunity, as opposed to a disaster.
