But wait....

Just before I was about to give up, the HR guy from the casino called to schedule a second interview. I met with the same accounting staff from before along with the CFO.
Thought it went very well, even one of the interviewers who led me back out onto the casino floor said as much.

So things might be changing soon. I think the most difficult part will be waiting for the paperwork involving my gaming license, it sounds like a long, painful process similar to a federal security clearance. I'm not worried about any criminal stuff or credit---I recently passed a Department of Justice background check in order to receive my CPA license and haven't paid anything late despite everything. Just worried about things taking too long.

Will write more tomorrow, time for bed!
