After months of sending out my resume with no response from the other end, I finally heard back from a company. A company that I would cut off my right arm to work for...
I had a 2 (TWO, II, xx, dos) hour interview that I thought was absolutely wonderful.
I spoke clearly, was energetic, listened with interest, looked fabulous and answered everything appropriately -------- A good time had by all..
Now, I'm just waiting and waiting and waiting for the phone to ring ---- from somebody.
I'm waiting for my references to ring me up with gossip and glee and bursting with "soap opera" drama about the delightful conversation they had discussing my grandness with the company.
I'm waiting for the company to call me and BEG that I drop everything and be ready to report to work on Monday to earn some cash and fill my empty kaufer.
I'm sitting here. Still waiting. I've crossed my fingers so much that they look like swollen pretzels, finger foods for the nervous.
It snowed this morning, then it rained and then the sun came out and went back in. I see these weather conditions as a sign of the unusual. Therefore, if the unusual is happening today --- chances are UNEMPLOYED little old me is going to get a job offer this afternoon.
Both my land-line and cell phone are connected. And my email is in working order.
Four more hours before the HR lady calls it the end of a business day. In the meantime, I'll keep waiting.

By sympathetic reader:Call the HR lady on Monday. There is nothing wrong with showing your enthusiasm for this position.
By BonusOnus:Better yet, MG, if you have an email address of the hiring manager and you interviewed with him/her, send him/her an email thanking him/her for his/her time talking to. Review some of the dialogue you had in the interview and tell him/her not to hesitate to contact you if they have any questions.
No matter the job market, you should be proactive and contact them if you are interested in that position.
