The short story is that my interview this morning went incredibly well — it was really more of a great to meet you/ what days and hours work for you/ what do you want to do most, than it was a capital I-interview, since not only were my resume and cover letter very complete, but apparently anyone who got told about me interviewing there got very excited and had great things to say about me.   The clinic and everyone working in it is as fantastic as I’d figured being aware of them for some years now, I got some pretty amazing rock star treatment (which I didn’t see coming, nor did I realize that all their teen materials link to Scarleteen on the back: nice surprise, that!), and was told that if the usual procedure was at all optional per extra security screening, it’d be waived in my case to hire me and get me started on the spot.

(Though, I was told part of that screening was to call my references so HR could be sure I wasn’t some crazy person off the street. I suggested that I might then want to give differerent references than I did since anyone who knows me at all well would only assure anyone asking that I AM in fact a crazy person off the street, just a very harmless one who uses her crazy for noble purposes. But alas.)

Given the coming holiday, I was told I’d hear back per an offer and such no later than the end of next week. I never like to count my chicks before they hatch, or invest too much in something in advance, since I tend to take having my hopes dashed pretty hard these days, but the impression I was clearly given was that barring something very strange happening, I could count on a part-time job doing something I really want to be doing, for a clinic I’d really like to be doing it with.

So, hooray!
