Phone rings…I pick up, “when can you start?” My reaction, “Oh crap!” 

Obviously my “oh crap” was to myself, it’s funny, two weeks ago I would have given my left nut for ANY job in the environmental field. Well I have one now, working for these guys. Don’t really want to mention names for obvious reasons. My quandary is I just had another interview for a strategic environmental/energy consultancy and a possible third interview/presentation out in DC. The non-profit wants me to start pretty much first week of June, while it would take two weeks to see if I would get the consultant job. 

I’m torn between an awesome non-profit and a position I don’t really like but which is a sure thing and a possible position doing something I’m quite interested in at a relatively low profile company. Consulting will also pay me more, but then getting paid crap in San Francisco has its advantages, would push me to take my side businesses in loan origination and import/export more seriously. Add to that it’s a lovely cosmopolitan city, one my best friends lives up here and there are a few more nutters who are cool to hang out with. I don’t know a monkey in DC by comparison. 

Well I guess I’m gonna take the SF job, they only expect a years commitment in the position, and after that I could try and make a move to their global finance team, and from there to another sustainability consultancy like Foundation Strategy Group or Sustainability.  Now just have to find a damn place to live that won’t break the bank, preferably nob hill (snicker, would love to tell people I live on the nob) so I could walk to work and try and work some of this flab I’ve developed off.

So my last post was really a ‘moo’ point! Funny, in two years went from a student lifestyle to a high roller lifestyle and then back to what’s essentially going to be a student lifestyle. Ah well…
