So Why Am I Still Interviewing?

I have a plan.

I have an information product, a website selling it, AND two other websites (including this one).

Things are actually going pretty well in my world.  A wee bit slow but moving along and I can push it when I need to.

So why did I interview for a job the other day?

Not only a job-job, but a job working for yet another Philadelphia nonprofit in yet another dysfunctional environment at, dare I say it, even lower wages than when I last worked full-time in 2003.

My instincts were practically propelling me physically out the door as I learned that, well, yes, the last development director lasted less than a year.  Uh, no, they didn’t know if they had a contract with the vendor of their database software.

Everything was all too typical of nonprofit jobs I’ve had in the past and either quit or been fired from.

Why did I even say that I would consider returning for a second interview with a board member?

Sigh.

Well it is nice to be able to pay the rent.
