jenettI spent 10.5 hours at work. (After 10 hours yesterday. Isn't the year supposed to be over now?)
Three more interviews, more discussion about candidates (it's going to be a hard decision, which we knew going in: we're looking for a weird combination of skills, and we finally decided to go home and sleep on it, and discuss further tomorrow.)
I left, and went off to Midori's (my favorite neighborhood sushi place. Actually, it's my favorite sushi place in the Twin Cities, and it's mostly coincidence that it's actually within a (longish) walk, but still.) for dinner with Dave and Marie and Elise and wonderful visiting people (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hagazusa and her husband). Much good food was had.
My ability to deal with a complex split check (since we had individual sushi rolls and such as well as their plates and bentos to contend with) was aided by having my laptop (since I'd just come to work) and a spreadsheet. We've determined that this is apparently the sensible way to divide checks in future.
I came home to discover that my contract letter had *finally* arrived. (We had bunches of minor wrangling about how to write it up.) The nice news is that the raise kicks in July 1st, and comes to about $150 a paycheck (two of those per month) which means there is really no excuse for poor finance and budgeting anymore, really. Also, that I should be able to do the furniture shopping and shelf shopping I want by the end of the summer.
