Job interviews

I've had two job interviews this week, and I have a third one tomorrow. I was turned down for the first job (just as well, I'm sure I would have hated it), I was offered the job for the interview I had today (which is a decent job working as a paraprofessional in Epping) and tomorrow is an interview for a part-time case manager job at a homeless shelter.

I have a history with the case manager job. Let me back track a little: I interviewed for this job in the late spring of this year, after leaving my job at DCYF. The woman doing the interviewing is a woman I know from church, and a group we were in together. The decision wasn't up to her, but she said I was in the top two. The board of directors made the decision to hire someone else. Well, The other day I get an e-mail from her: Melissa, are you working?

Me: No, not yet. I’ve got some interviews, but the more pregnant I look, the harder it is to get hired anywhere. I’m doing some independent contracting for Social Work p.r.n, but I JUST started, and haven’t gotten any assignments yet.
Why, you still have something open at your place? :-)

Her: Yes, The case manager who came here, who is a wonderful woman, really wants to be more out in the field, on the road and following the families when they are out of the program.
I am going to have her look for funding to see if we could facilitate that.
She will be here through the end of the month. Interested in packing up 15 to 20 hours with me? $20.00 an hour.

Me: Definitely still interested!!!

Her: Can you come for one more interview on Friday the 24th and plan on starting after Labor Day?

Me: Absolutely!!!

So, anyway, does that seem to you that she offered me the job? Or just an interview, telling me that I would start after labor day if I get the job? At first I thought she offered it to me, then I wasn't so sure. I don't really know what to think right now, so I figured I'd go through with the other interviews, and see what happens. I can always turn down a job, but I'd rather not have nothing to fall back on if this one doesn't work out.

So, what makes this so ideal? Well, for one, the pay. Second, she already knows I'm pregnant, so that won't be an issue. Third, I can take the baby to work with me! So that will be great - no daycare cost! Johns parents have even offered to help out for a day or so a week, which would be nice.

So that's where I stand right now. I'll update again tomorrow with the final verdict on a job, as well as the latest updates about the baby. I can't belive that I'll be considered full term in just 18 short weeks!
