So the interview I thought went well yesterday. Seemed as though I cinched it. They're looking for someone who's a "catch-all" and can do just about anything. (which is me). We talked salary and he said my previous salary wasn't a problem (yeah! I was worried it would be like an $8/hour job *ick*) and they have vacation time, and holiday pay and health insurance and dental and all that lovely stuff. They're literally right down the road now but building a brand new facility about 10 miles or so away (still less then half the commute I was making before) and I met with the owner of the company - who's all of like 35. It's a young company with business casual dress and a laid back attitude and they're expanding into their third national office soon. (this is the headquarters here). They are a telecommunications company. It was a quick interview with very little questioning - more like "ok, I like what I see and it matches the resume" - and he said they'd call...

But now it's like a day later and I'm nervous 'cause I've not heard anything. What if I was wrong and they didn't like me? I mean we laughed and he complimented me and I totally got the "yes!" vibe from it all but *whimpers* Nothing yet. I'm nervous now. Damn I need to figure something out...still waiting to know whether or not I'm going to get my money from unemployment or not. (gotta love a system that you can file for help in April and it's June and not only have you not gotten a penny yet, but they're not telling you if you will or will not. ARG. If it weren't for my Love's income, I'd be fucking homeless by now. Nice to see how important this shit is to them!)

Blah. In other news, Chris is coming down this way for a training conference and we're chatting trying to plan a get together with him, me and my Love since he'll be so relativly close. (Come on, he's normally in Philly! lol) But of course, it's kinda something like this:

him: where do you guys wanna go out to eat?
me: *shrugss* I dunno wherever
him: what about doing this _____?
me: *shrugs* Sure, whatever
him: ok, or maybe this _____?
me: Yeah that too or something.

LOL It's not going well. I think my indecivness is showing just a little. *giggles* I believe we left it at:

him: so we're just gonna play it by ear?
me: yeah, sounds like a plan

hee hee.This should be cool though. Chris will get the dubious honors of being the first person I know online to meet me in person. *nods* Now, Orb was the first person I chatted with on the phone. All this in just several years of avoidance of people. I'm becoming so lax. (/sarcasm hee he) Digital camera will be in attendance so I'm sure you can look forward to a slew of pics.

Uh...beyond that not much is going on. My Love took off today to go with a friend for her sonogram. (the father's having nothing to do with her since she became pregnant and she wanted someone to go with her so my Love volunteered). I was right, it's a boy. (I just Knew it) There's some worry though because she apparently carries the gene for systic fibrosis and she now needs to go for a ton of tests to find out the impact on her baby and the risks of him developing it. Bleck. She's due right at Halloween (like Oct 27th or something).

Hrm..that's about it for now. I'll post as soon as I hear something either way about the job. *fingers crossed*
