Friday morning I fly to Providence for an interview. Then Friday afternoon I fly back. And then next week, with a little luck, I get an insanely good job offer.

(The job is in Chicago; the company's US HQ is in Boston.)

Oh, and the company's German, so if I get the job (and accept it), I will probably get to fly to Germany for training in a couple months time...
