I've been doing contract work for 15 years or so. So, I'm used to it, but it's always a little stressful at contract ending time.

Low volume irrigation is a big deal where I live.

Most people are giving up their lawns, but nobody wants to lose older trees and other landscaping they've enjoyed for many years.

Good luck!

Yeah I saw that on their website when I was researching for my interview. I'm interviewing for an instructional design position for their commercial line. The audience is mainly service and sales folks.

It was kind of weird, because he immediately said, "I won't take up much of your time." So, that put me in a weird frame of mind. Hopefully I answered the questions the way he wanted me to, but I know that I'll get another gig soon even if I didn't get this one.

Thanks for asking!

Maybe it'll work out but I would have already
written that one off, move on to the next.

You have a positive attitude and that is half the battle.

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll find something!!
