Travel Plans

So now I am flying into Atlantic City, renting a car, staying overnight in Philadelphia, for an interview in New Castle, Delaware. I found a cheap fare ($120, roundtrip) into Atlantic City, and figured that it would be an adventure. Hopefully. Fares to Washington, D.C. were even better: a roundtrip ticket was $60. But that would still involve over two hours of driving, so I decided not to. Although I am now thinking that I should go to Washignton one of these days. I want to go back to the Hirshhorn Museum; last time I was there, I was wearing a Boy Scout uniform.

Coincidentally, I received a call from a Virginia library, interested in setting up a first-round interview with me on the same day. I originally thought it was the Fairfax County Library, and told the woman I would be in the area. She sounded skeptical, so I confirmed where the library was. She told me, and I plotted the location in Mapquest, and it turns out that it would be 500 miles to Philadelphia, so I stammered that maybe it would just be better to do the interview over the phone, as she was initially planning to do. I felt like a complete idiot, which isn't all that uncommon.

But two (preliminary) interviews in one day! That's exactly double the total number of (preliminary) interviews I've had since I started this job search in November! And on top of this, there is a couple who saw the house yesterday, who might be very interested in buying it! And I'm all set for the ALA Conference in Chicago!
