Can I get some help with finding the right word?

Shefly - you were a huge help! If I get the job, dinner (or beer ) is on me when I come to New England.

Now I'll make sure to keep fingers crossed . Don't worry about it - you have what it takes on your own - i just pointed you in a direction.

Waiting can be the hardest part!

Ugh, no...not yet! I'm going insane!!

I had to do one more interview last week with a woman who was here for a conference (normally she is at our Tx facility). I found out then that there are now just two of us in the running. Myself and one external candidate with just about identical qualifications as me. When I sent my thankyou to the Tx woman, she told me that I had her vote, so we'll see.

The person who would be my boss and the VP of HR had a meeting about it all yesterday afternoon. But still no word.

Frankly, I'm losing faith that I'm going to get it. I feel like the longer it takes, the less likely it'll be me. I guess I figure if they wanted me, they'd tell me immediately.

I am not known for my patience. AT ALL.

OMG - as soon as I hit 'submit' on my above post, I got a meeting request from the woman who would be my boss (if I get the job). The meeting is tomorrow for 30 min and it's titled "College Program Manager position check-in". WTF does THAT mean?

When you apply for an internal job, is the offer process different or are they yanking my chain? I'm so confused!!! I really wish that I didn't want this job so badly - this would be a lot easier to take if I still actually liked my current job!

I don't think I'll sleep much tonight.

I don't know the answer, but that sounds very promising! Keep us posted!!!

I still don't know the answer, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get the job. If I did, I'm sure they'd just call and offer. This meeting makes me think that they need to let me down gently since they can't exactly send me a reject letter in the mail. They were talking to me as if I already had the job during the interview, but now they are going to have to eat their words. Sucks.

I'm really, really bummed.
