Ok. So yesterday was rather bizarre.
Yesterday morning, there were little plans for the day. We had to get
ottermama down to the Culinary School in Downtown at 10:00am to talk with the advisement doods down there and then I had a second phone interview with a potential employer scheduled for 1:30pm. Was set to be a nice simple day...
8:30am - We leave the house, heading toward Downtown. The car needs some gasoline in it first.
8:40am - We arrive at the Speedway to put gas in the car. Gas price: $3.05.
8:44am - We pull out of the gas station. Gas price: $3.25. Yes, it went up $0.20 while we were sitting there.
9:20am - We arrive on Lake Shore Drive, turning toward Michigan Avenue.
9:22am - I receive a phone call from one of the temp agencies out here, saying that there's a dire need for a designer... like, today. I tell them that I have a phone call that I'm waiting for at 1:30pm. They send my info over to the client to see if they want to use me.
10:15am - I get a call back and they say that the client wants me to come down. They want me there at 2:00pm.
11:25am -
ottermama gets done with the folks at CHIC, and I tell him about the fun that has been presented for the afternoon...
12:00pm - Arrive back at home. I have just enough time to get a quick shower and get back out to Downtown, where the client is.
1:20pm - I arrive BACK in Downtown on Lake Shore Drive and head over toward IBM Plaza, where the client,
Jenner & Block, is located.
1:35pm - My phone interview calls. Interview seems to have gone well. I'm SOOOOO hoping that I get this one. It's just what I've been looking for. Mostly print designing. Very little web.
2:10pm - I get to the lobby of J&B. I get the quick tour and start in on various things.
8:15pm - I finish up for the day and head home...
Yeah, it was a crazy day yesterday. Not ANYTHING like I expected it to be. It's a good thing though. This freelance stuff will help with getting into an apartment this month.
For right now, I'm down at J&B, sitting on the 46th floor, looking out on the killer Chicago area. Boy, I sure do love it in Chicago.
