Wow, what a great interview....except for the poor doggie's paw part. I think I'd be quite squeamish myself.

He sounds like a really nice guy to work for, which is half the battle in finding a good job. That's one of the reasons I've been at my job for so long is because my boss treats me good and that goes a long way in my book.

Congratulations on your new job! Whether it turns out to be temporary or permanent, it'll be a great experience either way.
