I had another job interview today... The interview went alright, but, my headhunter was mistaken about the job. It's not in Raleigh after all, it's in Wilson, 60 miles away. After the interview she was asking me if I'd want to drive all that way. I told her that I'd rather not... she informed me of the wonderful opportunities of living in Zebulon half way between, and assured me that a lot of young couples were moving out there. <twitch> I kindly told her that we had just recently bought our house, and reminded her that we have just found out that my wife is pregnant, so a move just wouldn't work for now. She asked me again if I wanted to make the drive from Apex. I told her that it's a 60 mile drive one way, that's 120 miles per day. My car gets about 25 miles per gallon, and at 120 miles per day it is aprox. 4.8 gallons per day, and at $4.00 per gallon that's $19.20 per day in gas alone, and assuming that I get paid around $15.00 per hour, that's almost an hour and a half of working just to pay to have a job, not to mention the two hours per day of driving, which makes it 3.5 hours per day wasted. She then asked... "So you don't want the job?" I told her that I don't think I'll accept it.
"Is she gone yet?"
