Didn't get the job

I guess I should chalk it up to not 'meant to be'. But if you have read this blog at all, you know that I don't believe in that crap. You make your own luck.

The head of the department did let me know that I was a frontrunner and that she wanted to pass my information along to some other colleagues in her network. I agreed and acutally had one call me this morning to check my interest and availability. I need to take a look at their positions and then call her personally to discuss.

I am a bit bummed about missing out on this opportunity :(

Check out the new pic of Jackson in the ticker above; it is hard to stay sad when I can look at him...

Got his SSN

I FINALLY got his SSN in the mail today!!!

Yay, we are totally done with everything. Yippee!

Now, I just need to get my escrow money back from the attorney and file my taxes with the accountant (I had to file an extension since the SSN took so long).

Maybe I should go ahead and get a passport now too. But I need a break from the paperwork and the stress for a while.

Back from the interview

The short of it is that it went fairly well... I don't think that it is a slam dunk or anything, but may be 50/50.

When I got there, I had to do a conflict resolution role play (which I was aware of). BUT, they asked if I had reviewed the materials they sent ahead of time so we could get started and I was like, "What materials???". So they did a very brief recap of what they were supposed to have sent me and then we got started right away. It was really nervewracking. I didn't do as well on that part as I probably would have if they had sent it to me. And the first couple of interview questions were really tough. I was getting frantic and thinking that I was totally out of my league. Then I settled down, got in my groove and it went a lot better for the rest of the time.

Like I said, it is definitely not a sure thing, but I only have to wait a couple of weeks to find out.
