Breaking news

Friday was a long freakin' day. I hate waiting around aimlessly. I don't mind waiting if I know approximately when I'm going to get a call, but just waiting for a call that could be at any time kills your day. I didn't want to be in the middle of a grocery store when I got a business call. I certainly didn't want to miss this call while I was at the gym or anything. So I waited by my phone.

At about 3:30 I got an email saying that something came up and he'd call me on Monday. I understand how crap like that happens, but couldn't he have let me know by noon? Grr.

This weekend was pretty quiet. Friday night I went for a fish-fry down by the lake with mandatory beer drinking afterwards. Saturday I did very little, and Sunday I washed my car, but didn't get to wax it thanks to the rain that blew in. There was also some grilling and more beer than needed to be taken care of as well.

Today, I did almost the same thing I did Friday. I waited. And waited. Finally about 1 I get an email telling me to expect a call at 2. Finally I talked to the guy who did the next stage of the screening. He sounded quite impressed and knowledgeable about my resume as well. I had a nice talk with him and felt that I did quite well. I thought at this point that I'd be asked to come down to Tampa for a face to face interview. Not yet, tho. They want me to talk to at least one more manager before that.

After I finished up with the interviewer today, I called back the HR person I originally spoke to and he told me that he'll make sure that I get a call soon from the next step in the process and will let me know when that will be set up for.

All in all, things are looking pretty good right now. That's a scary thought...

The title of the last post came from Clutch. A song called Big News.

"We got big news.
The party boat is here.
The band is kickin'
And I see lots of beer."
