Psychotomy

got an interview for tuesday, for a dba position. this is through a recruiter. who contacted me initially at the end of july or something. month and a half to get an interview, and i’ve come to think that i really don’t have much interest in doing dba

but its like a 10% overall increase (so including her salary, which if i leave she probably would too), so i could live with it for a year or two. esp since i think it’d get me a clearance. ooooh

but, the interview is downtown (DC). and my wife and m-i-l both say i should wear a jacket and tie. *sigh* which brings me to one of those things i always see on the job stuff. well, not the “how to get the job” but in the other stuff. dressing up to be someone i’m not in order to get the job … means they want the person i’m not to be hired, not actually me. which means i get to be unhappy at work :/

i realize that they’re telling me to dress up so that i put on a good show, since i don’t know what the dress code would be (and it’s contracting to a major govt’ agency in DC, so suit/tie isn’t entirely unbelievable), and its better to overdress and be able to back down than underdress and not get the job.

of course, since i don’t even know if i WANT the job … mind, i haven’t gotten any otehr hits, but i just put out some resumes last week too for security gigs. but who knows how long i’d be waiting for those to come up with pings :/
