So today has been an exciting day! On Monday night Scott applied to about 8 jobs closer to our new home. He received emails from 3 saying "we don't have a position that will fully utilize your job skills" aka, overqualified. While that sucks, it's also kind of funny, as Scott never completed college and yet can still be over qualified for a job which is interesting.
Well, he also applied for a position with our old company, a well known pet store chain which will remain nameless. He received a call early yesterday morning that they would like for him to come interview. I spent a while yesterday crunching the budget to figure out how little pay he could take (they are not well known for paying well) before we would be losing money.
He had the interview this morning and was immediately offered a job. The pay is borderline comfortable but I think we will be ok. It will also put him about an hour from home, saving him an hour each way commuting to work. He will also have earlier hours so there will be no coming home at midnight and having to be back at work at 7am, definitely a plus.
Well, we've got the house (still working on an April 16th closing, should know by the end of the week), he's got the new job, and we'll find out in less than 24 hours if the third part of our wish list has happened. Exciting!
