I wouldn't say I'm exactly upset, but...

About a month ago, I applied for a job. The owner of the company started corresponding with me via e-mail just a few hours later. We talked back and forth, but our schedules were such that I wasn't able to interview with her in person until 2 weeks ago. The interview went great, and I appear to be the only candidate for the position. When we met in person, she was supposed to start calling my references...that was the 18th. I e-mailed her to get a status update early last Wednesday, but when I hadn't heard from her by Friday morning, I pretty much gave up on the job.

So I'm getting my car washed at my favorite spot Saturday morning...and I run into the owner! She actually saw me first...she apologized for taking so long, but that things have been terribly busy and that she hopes to call my references this week.

She told me during the interview that they are desperate for a new supervisor, but that they want to do their due diligence. And I realize that hiring processes can take time...but this is just so frustrating. All my refs know she's going to call, and it would take about an hour to call them, if that.

It doesn't help that my temp assignment ended Friday, and now I'm at home twiddling my thumbs.
