the bright side

Found out today that I didn't get the job. A lady with excellent creative writing skills really impressed the panel so they gave it to her. My style is a lot more analytical and that didn't fit what they were looking for in that particular role. So I'm going to continue working in the office 2 days a week for now during the transition period and keep my job at the hospital for the time being. The good news is... they have another position in mind for me instead. The other position is full-time (instead of 3 days a week for the one I didn't get) doing systems administration on their fundraising database. The database administrator recently resigned and I have experience managing a fundraising database at the hospital. They would really like to keep me around so hopefully it'll be a win win situation...they get their creative writer and I get to work full-time. It's all just talk so far though so I'm not counting my chickens just yet. I'll keep you posted on what happens next.
