String o' interviews

fatrockstarI certainly hope all these fishes that are biting turn out to be dinner.
There was an interview yesterday for a product that turns your entire house into the Gates' estate, a phone interview with a different company later that afternoon, a bite for another position on the same team I interviewed for previously, and now an email from someone downtown responding to the resume I sent two weeks ago -- they want a phone interview as well.
Sounds like a lot, but it's only four positions, and two can't really be counted. I was late for one interview, and the other position hasn't offered me an interview yet. I'll keep hoping, though.
It will be nice to be working again. I'm not looking forward to the ball-and-chain of working for the Evil Empire for another 6-12 months, but it's a living. Approaching it as a 2nd job makes the process a little easier. I find I'm more relaxed going into it as a musician that moonlights as a software engineer. That, and the music/multimedia thing seemed to be a plus when interviewing for multimedia testing positions. Yeah, I know what's up dawg. I'm down. Werd.
What if I have more than one offer? I've never been good at that. Do I take the short-term-yet-high-paying gig or the year-long-committment-with-average-pay gig? Both sound like fun, both have a shitty commute. Decisions, decisions. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I find it.
