New perspectives?

Last friday I finally did it... I sent an application for a different job - an editor/corrector job at another publishing house. Fact is, that job would be done at home, where I'd get the scripts sent by email, correct them and send them back via email again. I could freely choose when or where I'd like to work and the paying wouldn't be bad, either...
They should have gotten my letter by now - I'm pretty nervous to get their review of my example pages... I SO hope they'll take me. I wouldn't quit on my current job right away (I first need to see how much work I can get done and how much I'll actually get paid after all since it would be project based payment - besides, I wanna make sure that job's going to last before quitting the other one), but it'll be a new perspective...
The publisher I'm currently working for is in quite some crises at the moment (mostly because the leadership seems to think their employees don't need spare time or sleep or any other time-consuming nonsense like that... x_X) and I'm not sure I want to stay with them... at least not if the situation won't change for the better soon AND since I was born night-active rather than day-active, anyway, I could also finally go back to sleeping till 4 or 5 pm and work at night like I used to while I was only studying. That'd be nice...

Well, wish me luck...
