Unexpected, sudden job interview

So I'd reached out to a couple of recruiters I've worked with in the recent and not-so-recent past. One was literally just about to go on vacation, but we'll touch base next week. The other had a billing and customer support role that she thought I could be a good fit for, and it is literally three blocks down the street. I wouldn't even need to ride the bus! I could come home for lunch! They seem pretty hot to trot in regards to filling 2 roles, and I'm walking up there for an interview at 2:15 today. The pay is bottom of the barrel, but in many ways, that doesn't matter as long as my quality of life is positive. I do want to know more details about what the actual job entails as it's part of a larger collections agency, but if I can get more actual billing experience and potentially remove the "A" from my CPC-A by using my coding skills, then all the better.

Did I mention it's 3 blocks down the street? Just checking. :)

I'll post later after my interview, but I believe that with my EXTENSIVE customer support background and recent certifications and being a mature member of the workforce, this should be a no-brainer. I enjoy interviewing, and I'm mostly wanting to find out what kind of training they provide and what a 'typical' day looks like. I do want to be sure I won't be isolated like I was at ZoomCare, but hell, I'll give just about anything a try for 3-6 months that's that close. It's a 9 month contract to hire but they review contracts every couple of months and apparently the other 2 people that this particular recruiting company has placed are already getting pay raises. Sounds good to me!

Complete life change from a week ago

I'M STARTING A NEW CONTRACT JOB ON TUESDAY, THE 23RD!!! So excited! Via Aerotek, I'll be working for Centerlink Strategies, a company related to (but new as of July) Asset Recovery Group. I'll be doing patient-related customer support and the office is, no exaggeration at all, 3 blocks down the street. What an amazing turnaround from earlier this week, much less a week ago.

Evan and I also just watched an incredible documentary, "Three Identical Strangers." Can't recommend it enough. It went all sorts of places that I didn't expect from the beginning.
