Speaking of great job......I FINALLY GOT ONE!!! Well, I had the temp job but he had just basically given me 2 weeks notice so this was great timing. It's the receptionist job at the local community college, from 11-3 Monday through Thursday so I hope to still homeschool the kids as long as I can.
It's funny I didn't know how the interview went, but I was thinking on the last interview I didn't sell myself enough (well the guy did talk for 99% of the interview in my defense), but I really worked hard this last one to sell myself and I thought I overdid it and got a little braggy maybe, but I guess not! So they wanted me to start asap, but are letting me start Thursday b/c of the move. And I want to give 2 weeks notice on my walking job so I was thinking about trying to do that also and basically go full-time the next few weeks, and finish up moving. Maybe too much?

Attagirl, Karen! Never doubted you for a single moment, and have always felt that the RIGHT job was waiting to come along for you.
I usually counsel people (when their new employer wants them to start work right away) to say something like "Well, to be fair to my current employer, I need to give them the courtesy of two weeks notice, just as I would want to do for you if the situation were reversed. But I'm willing to be flexible and put in some extra hours to get started here right away, too." Usually, they'll just say "nevermind," but you score points, and if they DO take you up on it, you make some double-$$$ for two weeks.
