I don’t hear back from George quickly so I put in a phone call to make sure he got the email and we soon have an appointment scheduled for the next day.  I jump into my car, excited.  I’m off again on another interview.  But, this time I’m clearer on what I want.  Originally I thought I wanted the corporate world again with the potential to make more money.  But, I’ve realized my quality of life will suffer if I go that route and this independent station offers freedom like I currently have.

I get to the station in plenty of time and have to wait a short while for George to finish a meeting.  I walk in and things just click.  We really hit it off and we spend about an hour talking.  We leave his office together and go into Sam’s office where the three of us continue to talk for another hour.  George has to leave for another meeting and Sam and I stay at least another 30 minutes. 

George is leaving for 2 weeks vacation on Monday and Sam for a week as soon as George gets back.  We’ll stay in touch, but nothing will be decided until everyone is back from vacation.  But, we’ve already started talking rough details about a compensation package and everyone is trying to create a situation that works for them and me.  They don’t have an opening but are willing to create something because they think I can bring a lot to their staff.  Yeah, yeah.  Now I just have to hang in there for 3 weeks.
