Well, I sort of have a job

I had my interview for the contract position today. It was with a mid-size firm in a big shiny building with a fantastic view of downtown.

They started out saying, "If we decide to offer you the position," and ended by telling me to come back tomorrow at noon to sign an engagement and confidentiality agreement. But they only want me to do the first step of the project so that they can judge the quality of my work before going further. Can't blame them for that. I just hope I'm up to par--I've always been a little insecure about my writing (law school will do that to you) and they wanted someone with law review experience--not me.

The good news--it pays well. It gives me something to do. They might have more projects for me after this one. This could open other doors. And I can work from home in my jammies.

The bad news--I might screw this up. It's only temporary. It is going to be really boring. Because I am working from home, I don't need my nanny, and I am really worried that I am going to lose the nanny.
