I bought Bust last night. Let's see...there was an article showing how to knit and make leg warmers, a review of the Joy of knitting, an add for Carolyn's site in the back! Too cool. The article said the instructions came from a new series of knitting books to be released next year for the combat booted crowd. I don't have combat boots, but I do have well worn Docs. Does that count?

I have an interview today. A company I worked for about four years ago called me out of the blue. I worked for their engineering department for almost five years. Their IT department called me, but then it turns out that the job may require me to split my time between engineering (doing CNC programming) and IT (doing database programming). I'd really rather do only the IT work, but, hey...I'm working part time as a contractor and not making very much doing it. I went to training for the CNC machine about seven years ago, so I could be a backup for the guy that did it full time, but he never really let me do anything. So I'm not really qualified for it, but I'm sure with a refresher and some patience, I could do it. The IT department wants me all to themselves, but they don't think they can get approval for that. We'll see what happens...

I was feeling really out of sorts yesterday. I'm a little worried about money right now and DH pointed out that I was probably nervous about the interview. He's probably right. I don't like that I'm not fully qualified, i.e. I don't know the CNC thing backwards and forwards and that's really not what I want to do. The people I talked to said they thought it would be 80% IT, 20% CNC, but still, it's not exactly what I want to do. On the other hand, I'm not having much fun at my current job. We've been doing testing and I've had to do a lot of documentation and it just bores me to tears. I get so distracted while doing it and just don't work very hard. I don't like not putting in my full effort, but JEEZE, testing and documentation is SOUL SUCKING.

Well, I guess that's enough whining and wow this is long. I guess I'm making up for all the short posts this week. Since I haven't knit since Sunday, I leave you with a picture of a center pull ball I wound up using a toilet paper roll this past weekend.
