Aerobics, Auditions and Interviews

A superb day. I taught my step aerobics class at the Federal Building. Had some new choreography which went well. After class I jogged up to the Seattle Athletic Club near the Pike Place Market for an interval training audition. I hadn't done one of those in 10 years, since my audition for Kari Anderson's ProRobics. It's strange doing an audition for a fitness class in a big empty studio, pretending there are 30 exercising bodies in front of you. The audition went well and the director asked if I could start the day after tomorrow. Cool, I'm up to 3 classes per week now. 4 more to go.

Jogged back to my Pioneer Square apartment for a phone interview with Boeing. They have a multimedia design position open. The two people on the line were friendly, easy-going and professional and I felt comfortable speaking with them. I was invited to come for an in-person interview.

I showered, put on a suit and headed to Redmond for an interview at Microsoft. Brian drove me in the PT Cruiser. This interview was for a training developer position. The program manager was amaaaazing (current lingo here in Seattle, or perhaps even US-wide). She is sharp, energetic, optimistic, driven, entrepenurial, has a fun spirit and is enthusiastic about her project and working for Microsoft. I spent an hour and a half with her and her enthusiasm for the project infected me. I want the job!
