dream_labyrinthEr... yeah... well...
So, after posting a whiny entry about how the interview might have sucked, I got a call from the library. Saying that they had decided to offer me the position.
Problem is, I still have the option to get the (probably better) job with the army.
And I called those people right away to find out how my chances are there, and the lady said that if Armageddon doesn't arrive anytime soon, I'll have that job.
So instead of having no job at all, I now have two and need to decide.
In the university library, I'll be one of many. I'll have people to show me how to do stuff and help me out and everything. I'm not alone in the dangerous world that is the library.
I also will probably not have much influence on anything. And I'll have a secure job only until the end of next year. After that, nobody knows.
With the army, I'll be in an OPL (One Person Library). There's just me. The nearest person to help me can most likely only be reached by phone or email.
But it will be my library. Any idea I have I can try out and see what works.
And I'll have the job for at least two years, with the possibility of them keeping me as long as I want. I'll also have the possibility to get in contact with interesting people.
It all looks more like the second option, but I can't resign on the first job as long as I'm not sure whether I'll get the other.
The lady said she'd call me Monday and tell me more, but she can't give out a definite yes as long as she hasn't got the results from my medical (that should be there by now, really!) and the OK from all relevant places.
But the university library would like to get my answer by Monday.
We'll see what will happen. Nothing much I can do now but wait.
