Mon Sep 29, 10:28:36 AM - - - -Hurry Up And Wait...
The story of my life. I mentioned previously that I had been laid off from my career of 15 years. That happened on July 25th, 2003. Exactly two months later (after pounding the pavement like a driveling fool) I landed an interview with an ISP here in town. They were interviewing for a tier II helpdesk technician. I thought "that's fine, it's a no brainer...". I go in and sit down. After they reviewed my resume, they informed me that they were going to "throw me a curve ball". They would rather interview me for a management position over their helpdesk! I wasn't ready for that one! For the next hour and a half I was drilled by three different managers. Talk about grueling!

In the end, it turned out they absolutely loved me and they were going to recommend me to their director. The director however, was traveling and would not be in until Monday. So here I sit. On pins and needles waiting for that all important call. This is the equivalent of sitting in your bedroom as a kid on Christmas morning and waiting for your parents to say that everythings ready and you can come out now!! (ya know, the cameras have all got to be ready to get those HORRIBLE shots!)

As soon as I hear word, I'll post the news up here. Granted this could go both ways. So I got to remain focused...

"Hurry Up and wait..."
