Okay so I called the lady on Monday to see if she had made a decision over the weekend...She said she still had a few interviews to do and would get back to me by Friday if not sooner. So I waited, and waited and finally today at 3:30 she called. I wasn't home yet but my son took a message and she said to call her on Monday. Well....I wasn't waiting until Monday...so I hurried and dialed the phone and she asked if I could come in Monday to "talk" to her...Of course I said yes and before we hung up I asked her..."so is this good news or bad news" and she said...."Hopefully good" What does that mean??? Do I have the job or not? Is she deciding between me and another person?? Wahhhhh the anticipation is killing me!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I swear she is testing me to see how badly I want this or to see how much I can take before I crack...LOL <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Alluring:
It means you are on the "short-list"; which could be from one other person to a handful.
If you really want the job - please allow me to offer a little input. When she asks you why you want to work there (or something to that effect), look directly at her and tell her: "Because I feel that I can help make this company more money".
I am part of a long-standing family-owned company and have had a couple of people say that to me. I hired both of them and they are outstanding employees.
Good Luck.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

Congrats AGE!!! YOU GO GIRL!
That SO rocks! I'm thrilled for you!
I have an idea! How about tonight, at 7pm, wherever we all are, we ALL have a collective margarita in honor of your new career!
We don't have to get smashed, but in a way, we will celebrate your happy news!
Any takers?

Thanks Karona!! Drita count me in!!! I made an appointment to get my hair cut and colored tomorrow...something I have been doing myself..but it's time to be pampered!! I have a few more thorns in my side I'm going to deal with. Tomorrow is the custody hearing for my daughter @ 9am. Suppose to be a 10 minute meeting to make our mutual arrangement official. I'm also going to end things with J. Things still aren't where I want them to be and it's time. I'm just not that into him. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The new District Sales Manager of the Circulation Department of our local newspaper...sounds so official doesn't it??? Seems weird to go from a SAHM/School van driver to a CAREER WOMAN!!! Go ME!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I am woman hear me ROAR!! (need to go download that song and play it all day)

Today was a boost for you to deal with tomorrow!
You will meet someone WAY beyond your wildest dreams and be so glad you left J behind...
You will be successful in your career because you are smart, and deserve it!
You can go and do whatever you want!
BTW, don't forget about the GRRRRR, baby, GRRRR!!!!
