*Hey! This entry did not show up as a new entry. I’m here! I’m writing…sort of. Hi!

Well fooey. I missed the last day of NoJoMoOhWell.

Speaking of which, I have been stressing like a mofo. I don’t know if I can form complete sentences, so bullets may have to suffice for this entry.

  • Had interview sesh #3 with prospective company. Met another possible colleague and her assistant – very cool folks and we all got along quite well. Lunch and store visits.
  • But Possible Future Boss (PFB) is insecure and still unsure about me. Gave him a presentation consisting of business analysis, trend report, and product review. Walked stores, and then talked, talked, talked. He is hung up on a couple of financial issues, and I get it…numbers are not my strong suit, but I’ll just have to learn this business like I’ve had to learn it in my current role.
  • I was there from 12:30pm until 7:00pm, making a total of 16 interview hours with this company (in 3 visits).
  • Still, at the end of the conversation it was understood that [company] is going to make an offer.
  • So that’s good, right?
  • Told recruiter what I expected.
  • Wait. Wait. Wait.
  • Phone call last night @ 9pm. Recruiter telling me that PFB is still unsure and wants to call all of my references personally, even though Recruiter has already called them.
  • Wait. Wait. Wait.
  • More conversation and emails back and forth today.
  • Wait. Wait. Wait.
  • Meanwhile, current work is a bundle of stress today as well. Emergencies in my factories and with my licensee/buyer/boss/boss’s boss, etc.

    Truly, I’m just plain annoyed today and can’t beleive how stressed I am. Good thing Hawaii is at the end of this week – new job or not!
