My interview went ok, but not great. They talk about management stuff, which I do not have experience & about bringing the library system in to to 2020s technology wise. I've not dealt much w/ tech advancements b/c we're constantly trying to hold trash together with trash b/c my boss wouldn't buy new stuff. I'd love to have time to look into new things, but I've spent the last several years waiting anxiously for someone to buy me new things I've not been too interested in look at new advancements b/c I knew it was something I'd never see in real life. I'm still dreaming of a solid ink printer from 2005 & what it would be like to have all our computers on the same version of windows at the same time.
IDK what the other candidates are like, but I was told an older (than me) man interviewed after me yesterday and they didn't see to do very well either. I was told there was what sounded like a lot of nervous laughter coming from the office. They have at least 1 more interview today. I'll know one way or another soon enough. After waking up in the middle of the night for no reason I decided that I'd be super happy if I didn't get the job b/c I'm really happy w/ my job, provided I actually get to DO my job. I did tell them that I'm ok w/ someone else getting the position, so long as I'm not put in another situation where I'm holding someone's hand for the rest of my life. I've got 18-20 years left before I can retire and if I stay here fine, but I'm ok w/ not being manager for several more years. I'd like to work for someone who knows what they're doing. If I don't like the manager I've got 3 years before my youngest goes off to college & I'll be able to be more flexible w/ my work related travel and hopefully be able to move to a new place.
