A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

But then again, as usual, we'll have to see. They seemed pretty impressed with me. The only reservation they had was that I didn't have corporate publishing experience, but that was it. I immediately sent off thank-you notes to each of the three people I interviewed with; they're planning to hire within the next day or so. So keep your fingers crossed for me!
