one interview down, one to go

[bmccasland]

I'm waiting for the email that will contain my plane tickets confirmation. I should be arriving tomorrow (wednesday), and will be staying at the Marriott near the SeaTac airport. Uncle Sam has decided that I'm not worthy of driving on my own, so I get to use taxis. Anyone for getting together?

Hey Beth,
From your post yesterday, it looks like you might be en route to Seattle right now...I hope that your trip goes well and am sure that you'll nail the interview/close the deal too! How long will you be here?
I am busy from tonight through Saturday morning - with my brand new (1st) grandchild(!), but would love to meet you...let me know if you'll be around a bit longer than just for the interview, ok?
Otherwise, let me know if I can look forward to meeting you as a new Seattle-area T E'er! What's your decision timeline?
Tailwinds!
Mary

Congratulations on the new grandbaby, Mary!

+1 to the grandbaby!

My daughter-in-law wrote a blog post about how she's forgetting so much of her children's babyhood. I reassured her with the fact that it all comes rushing back to you when you have grandchildren.

Interview went fairly well. Thought I did pretty good. I've been really busy with meetings and revising a document for review by HQ due by the end of the month. When I called wednesday, all I got was person's voice mail.

waiting, waiting..... (where's that icon of the foot tapping???)

Meanwhile, I'm also waiting for my flooring contractor to contact me about when they'll be putting in new flooring in my kitchen and hall. This needed to be done, even if I wasn't comtemplating putting my house on the market.

No

"The recruitment that you interviewed for is no longer open, but we do have another vacancy that we need to backfill as soon as possible."

But they aren't sure if they want to offer moving expenses or not. So I'm not holding my breath.

After 4 months, I really don't care. Or rather I've given up. In December, I'd be hurt. But now? The Saints are playing in the Super Bowl, there are Carnival parades, spring will be in the air, there's French Quarter Fest, then Jazz Fest.

Then Hurricane Season, when once again I start thinking that I really really don't want to live here any more.

So now you know.
