Got a call for a job interview last Friday but didn’t get the message until after 5, so I couldn’t follow up until yesterday. Finally talked to them this morning and I’m scheduled to go in this Friday at 11 AM. Some kind of “management trainee” program with an insurance company.

I’ll do the interview, sure, but I’ve learned to be VERY suspicious of any entry-level positions in financial services. A lot of them are basically cold-calling boiler room operations, which is NOT a job I’m willing to do; I’ll work for McDonald’s before I do that. Hell, I’ll be the janitor at the local porno theater before I start cold-calling little old ladies and pressuring them to buy insurance they don’t need, want or even understand. So we’ll see.

The plan is still to leave Michigan for Tennessee; I’m still job- and apartment-hunting there and working here to get my stuff ready for a move. But hey, going to an interview won’t cost me anything but time and gas. And I do look damn good in a suit.
