Back Now.

During this past week I I attended a 3-day workshop at POAC, which as I predicted, left me with little knitting time except for mindless knitting. I really didn't feel like dealing with the Mendocino sleeves, so I went into my UFO pile and rescued the 2nd sleeve for a MS (Meg Swansen) design pullover that already has a body waiting to be united. I'm so close I can taste it, and dammit, I want to have a sweater finished yesterday! And while there's still several weeks of cold and chances of possible snow.

POAC is great - lots of good tips and I left with an inch-high stack of handouts. I think I'm going to be posting some of the tips here on the blog with each post, until I get a job. So . . . here's Tip #1:

If possible, before you go in to start the interview process, ask to use the company restroom. Be observant and make a mental note of the condition of the restroom . . . very often, the state reflects on the corporate culture. Makes sense, eh? If it's incredibly filthy, with overflowing wastebaskets and yucky stuff on surfaces, it shows that the company doesn't take a pride in how they look, and you have to wonder about how they conduct their company business as well.
