Ugh. This is what happens around the holidays. People get busy getting the fuck out of work and they don’t finish what they started until they’re back and good and ready.
I never got a confirmation from the company regarding the time of our phone interview… and so I never got a call. I’m hoping beyond hope that they can talk with me tomorrow as today and tomorrow were the days that the HR manager wanted to talk.
And now most folks are in vacation mode so an in-person interview wouldn’t happen until some time in December, which is also a bad time to be interviewing.
About the only good thing I can think of with this particular scenario is that we have a lot more time for a comfortable conversation tomorrow (Boss will be out of the office) and we set up an interview for early-ish December (Boss will be in China).
Of course, this is all dependent on there actually being a GIG that’s still open and that it actually FITS with my areas of expertise. There are a million things that could go wrong or just be not-right about this thing, but I have been feeling exceptionally good about this.
…and feeling exceptionally bad about stuff around current office lately.
So now I’m supposed to work with Brown Nosey and she’s been beyond her normal shitty self lately, sending shitty emails and clearly trying to make me look bad. And then the passive-aggressive emails. I was absolutely seething today about two shitty things she did today.
I was about to march down to her office.
I shot off some texts to The Scot who calmed me down…told me, in a nutshell, to pick my battles and he was absolutely right. How can he, from 5000 miles away, soothe my soul like that? His words were so wise and so calming. I have to say that even if this - whatever this is and however temporary it may be, goes away in the blink of an eye, it will still have been worth it for the words he sends to me.
Okay. I’m still at the office and need to get the dog walked and get settled at home for another evening of browsing for jobs. I need to continue with the momentum.
Off I go…
xox,
