		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had two more interviews since the last one. These two and the last one are all good jobs. Of these two, I&#8217;ll call them B and C, I liked C the best. The work sounds so interesting. The two main negatives are the pay and the commute (60 miles roundtrip). But at this stage [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=this1next.wordpress.com&amp;blog=739836&amp;post=16&amp;subd=this1next&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
