I home safe and sound from my interview with TriMet. It was an altogether more pleasant interview than the last one (the jerk that opened up with "everyone looking for work is a lying liar who lies! I can tell because you claim to have a job but are here during business hours!)

I met with the hiring manager, the current holder of the position (who is going to CA to get a master's in city planning) and the previous holder of the position. Turns out this is actually 2nd level customer support plus project management. I enjoyed the people (more the peers than the manager) and I felt I did well on most of the questions. They spent 20 minutes asking me pretty standard questions, and I spent 25 minutes asking them questions -- some more pointed than others. I think my interest may have surprised the hiring manager, because he didn't seem entirely on top of that part. There were a couple questions I had where the peers got what I was aksing about, but he didn't quite.

Pros: money. benefits. good tools available for doing of job. appears to be strong team. 2nd level, not first. flexibility to go fix things. team takes job in good humor. metrics vague.
Cons: business casual dress code. project management. checklists vary by project. metrics vague.

Meanwhile, butterfly says the TV people called and we're waiting on a part.
