The Quest

done.

forty minutes, it was all positive. Now, he says he'll forward his notes to the recruiter and that I should hear from her by tues or wed next week.

What I know so far:

I like this company, I like the people I've come into contact with. I have a friend who works for the same company, different section. He's given me much background, talking about the company and all of it has been good. I do want to work, I want to get paid. ... I think I'll compile a semi-formal pro/con list. There's no offer yet, so I can't evaluate that, though the recruiter did say at the outset a salary range (or was it an hourly range??? it was expressed in dollars per hour).

More waiting.

I have some long deferred retail therapy I want to indulge in.

What you need now is a nice, relaxing cup of tea. And a blow job.
What kind of tea should I bring you?

[BigV]

Teas, teas, teas.




You're mean.

You want coffee instead?

Maybe he's a hot chocolate guy?

[orthodoc]

Coffee, tea, or ... ?
Surely this is an offer you can't refuse, V.

[slang]

Sheldon has the ability to drift a thread topic into a blowjob proposal regardless of how serious the original thread topic may be.

And drifting the thread in such a way that it's funny.


I hope this works out for you V. The entire interview process sucks.

Have you stopped looking while going through the interviews with this company? Just curious.

[BigV]

Hi slang. No, I haven't stopped looking, but the process is bursty, making progress in fits and starts. Right now I have only one other active opportunity. There are some weeks where there are no active applications. Two at once is a bit of a glut.

I am at maximum hopefulness with this one (like I have been before).

[BigV]

So, no email at 8am. No email at 9am.



It's going to be a long week.

[BigV]

right. you're just a barrel of monkeys, aren't ya?

today's the seventh day since my interview... tick. tock. tick. tock...


tick.



...


If after the close of business today there is no reply, I'll send up a flare. 'Hey, what's the holdup?'

[xoxoxoBruce]

Think about it, all this time and all these interviews, they're digging deep. Probably know more about you than Twil. Anything buried in your flower bed they already know about, so that's OK, because you're still in the race.

[BigV]

You're right, xoB, of course. They wouldn't be taking so much time to compose a rejection letter.

It's still an agonizing wait.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Hard to believe when they get to the anal probe it will actually be a relief.

[Griff]

All this and then you'll end up having to go to work...

[BigV]

So, twelve days of silence since our last communication proves to be the limit of my patience. I sent a polite request for an update and got a reply. Today is the meeting with management and she'll "let me know EOB".

*sigh*
