There's no way I should have not even gotten an interview. They are still looking for 8-9 drafters and told Scott that if I still want a job, he'd give me one tomorrow!
Scott explained that the reason he found a new job is so we wouldn't have to work together. The hiring guy said he could put us on different projects... we'd work in the same building but never have to work together on anything. He said there are a lot of married couples and people who are dating and living together who all work there and it's not a problem at all with the company.
It's something to think about for sure. With it being so close to Christmas right now i don't want to give up my Christmas holidays or my trip to Mexico in February. Plus in January I'll find out what I'm getting for a raise and possibly a bonus. And I would feel terrible leaving my office without a drafter at all... me leaving would be REALLY detrimental to the company. But I'm still going to keep it in the back of my mind.
