They liked my resume (which is a healthy mix of manufacturing accounting, cost accounting, tax, and write up.

The owner/CEO decided, almost on the spot, that I could be a good fit overseeing and managing production throughput and cost, and while it's a huge diversion from my career trajectory I think it may be a good idea.

They wanted me to think it over and call them back on Friday and if I decide I am interested they're going to have me come in early in the morning (before I come into my current place of employ) and work a few hours Monday-Wednesday and maybe more on Friday (but I also want to get to the LBS for their black Friday sale) just to make sure it's a good fit.
