I've done better interviews

I'm somewhat out of practice at this, and hadn't any answer ready for the bog-standard "What do you see yourself doing in five years?" I fumbled and said I'd been doing the freelance stuff and not really focused on the long term, and then talked a bit about wanting to be in a job where I could do the work (editorial) rather than worrying about what the next project will be.

I didn't shine, but I may have done well enough: when we were done, the interviewer gave me her business card, in case I have any further questions, which I figure means she hasn't ruled me out.

She said there's one more candidate she needs to talk to, and that I should hear either tomorrow afternoon or first thing Tuesday. She said "Monday" at first, but when I asked Monday or Tuesday, she said they would be closed for the holiday, so Tuesday.
