Pay cut?

The interview was scheduled next wed, but she smsed me today to ask me if it was ok to meet today instead.

Of course it is! 求之不得!

She informed me during lunch only, and by the time I saw it, my lunch was almost over already.

She arranged to meet me at 6pm, which I told her is not quite possible because my working hours are until 6pm. I told her I will rush down but I dont believe I will be there before 6.30pm.

But actually, I knew I wont be there before 7.

Purely because I was VERY DRESSED DOWN!

I simply larp a top and jeans and went to work today, and I wasnt in the state to go for an interview!

So I planned to buy a change of clothes after work, but trust me, it doesnt help that I was wearing blue jeans, brown denim like heels, and green bag. I have no idea what colour of clothes to buy at all. Sigh.

I ended up spending $50 within 10mins. And $10 - calling for a cab and erp and cab fees.

The interview went quite well. She is quite amused by my honesty and she seems to want to hire me. I blatantly list every thing I dunno how to do (to inform before hand so that she would not assign such work to me) and I complaint about how I hate to clear bins on this current job.

But on the other hand, the project scope she handles doesnt really appeal to me. Granted that I can learn a lot, I dunno if I can even lift my spirits enough to choose drapes colours. (Victorian styled. Eh?)

If I take on the job, I will be alone in the company. I am trying to decided if I would go crazy being alone in the (small-10-steps-from-one-end-to-the-other-end) company, with no one to talk to me. She mentioned she is considering to get internet into the office too (so that I can use msn, hee, so nice right?). I would be eating lunch alone too, but there is a general pantry area where I can eat at, so no need to go squeeze with the crowd.

I would still get to hold the nice-sounding job title as a designer, even though my jobscope is nowhere near it. I do not mind actually, because it doesnt matter to me if I cant be one. I would mainly be supporting her role, and put her ideas into reality, something that I greatly like.

The only thing is that she might not be giving me a pay that I want to accept.

If I take a further pay cut, I might as well go work in macdonalds near home. I can save my transport fees and meals will be covered.

And the travelling is tedious.

I will sms her tmr to confirm with her how much pay will she offer and then I will get friends to vote to see whether I should go over.

*Dear god, you had been nice to me I know, be nicer still can? Can you psycho her to give me a very generous pay?*
