    Work?

    I went in for an interview with Jamaica's first 24 hour news channel and it went well.  I got the interview through a girl I met last week at the local sports bar; she's from the UK and is working as a Senior News Producer.  I met with a couple of people today and it went quite well... in fact, they pretty much said they wanted to hire me on the spot.  However, since they are new and I'm not completely sure what I'm signing up for yet, and since I have none of my previous work with me (it's still at the wharf awaiting Dan's papers), the station owner proposed that I come in for a week to see how things go and then we'll meet and evaluate how we want to proceed forwards.  I'm pretty excited about the possibilities but at the same time, I feel quite safe with this week-long trial because I really have no idea what I'm getting into, in so many respects, so the idea of locking in to a contract at this stage would be a bit worrysome to me.. especially because I'm not sure if we'll make it through the full two years of Dan's contract.  So many things can change between now and then...  I'm really excited about this opportunity and I think it could turn out to be an amazing experience and I have the potential to learn so much;  I just want to make sure that my options are open.  Although I'm liking it so far, I'm very aware that my opinion of this city could change drastically and fairly quickly, so I don't want to end up in a situation where I can't pick up and leave if I want to.  I start tomorrow... I'm very nervous but quite excited to see where this leads.
