The day at the paper went really well yesterday. I had about 10 minutes of orientation before I was put to work. I was surprised with how quickly I could settle in and that I didn't have to bombard my supervisor with questions all day. She was impressed with the ads I designed and extra impressed that they didn't contain any errors. Seems like a basic necessity to me, but who knows who she's had work for her in the past. I really enjoyed the staff as well and would enjoy working there. They are interviewing three other people. Sounds like they've enjoyed everyone who's put in their trial day so we'll see what they decide. They are going to be letting me know about the job next week.

Here is a logo I designed for the Association of periOperative Nurses - San Francisco/Marin. This was the quickest logo design project I've done. It took about three weeks from start to finish. Seemed like plenty of time at the outset, but when I was anxiously waiting on the flighty muses of inspiration, three weeks was cutting it close. In the end I was able to present six potential designs with which I was very pleased. For them it came down to a decision between two favorites. This logo won out.

I was so hoping to turn down the job I interviewed for in San Francisco. Instead they had the nerve to reject me first. How rude.
It actually works pretty well, because I had already decided that I wanted to focus on building my piano studio again, teaching lessons, doing various gigs, accompanying, and doing freelance graphic design. So what may seem like a consolation prize is much more in line with what I'd love doing anyway. This plan will take a heck of a lot more work, but it'll be a lot more fulfilling.
I'm inclined to call this company at which I interviewed and decline their rejection because I'm pulling myself from the running.

I'm back from my quick trip to San Francisco. I think my interview went well, but couldn't read how the committee felt about it. I interviewed with the eight person staff in the department in which I'd be working. It was a bit of on awkward interview though I think I handled it fairly well. I definitely felt like a little fish in a big sea. I can most certainly do the job, but haven't done anything at this level before so I don't necessarily have the experience to prove it. They will make a decision by the end of the week so hopefully I'll know something by Monday.
