Ow.

I got back from my meeting in Seattle a little while ago, and it was unspectacular. I interviewed for a position with them (filled already) and a separate interview for their client base today, because the process is different internally than it is externally. I got a few hours of rest, and then TekSystems gave me a call to see if I could provide them with a number to my last jump as a reference. I did a good job (and was told so by my direct superiors) but they called me names when I left their employ and my father also left on bad terms, despite being on solid ground business-wise. These aren't people that drop a grudge, and I don't think they'll differentiate between my work performance and their attitude towards me 'as a man'. So I'm really not sure how to handle it. I can give them payrolls number and have them talk to the office person, because she was always pretty professional. I'm not sure, though.

Thanks, by the way, [Unknown site tag]writer_lynn, for taking the time to talk to prospective employers on my behalf! It means a bunch!

So, I have work at 5, until 1 AM. I guess that's not too bad. My general lack of sleep might even be a virtue in that when I get back, I'll probably sleep like a baby. My big practical bummer is that my legs feel like wood from all the walking, and I've got a blister on my toe the size of my thumbnail. Of all the times...

No work on Sat, Sun, or Monday. Just need to bear up today and Friday, and then I'll see if they need me on for next week. I can probably swing one more week of this. My interview is on next Wednesday.
