Update! Update! Update!

Had a talk with potential boss on Monday.  We chatted about the job and what I could bring to the table.  It was a great talk, but I couldn’t help but be somewhat guarded in the way I was dealing with things.

The topic of salary was bound to come up, and so it did.  Potential boss wanted to know if we were in the same zipcode and after the discussion said that we were in the same neighborhood. 

That doesn’t sound too bad.  They are also talking to other candidates, but are quite smitten by me. 

I really don’t want to get my hopes up.  I like what they’re offering, but I hope that I can live up to the hype.

Sorry that I can’t give you anymore detail than what I’ve said.  People are mean and cruel and a particular person would love to see me not get this job.  Isn’t it sad when it comes down to this???  People suck. 

On a serious note....

1.  MG’s uncle passed away.  He was a nice guy.  I really didn’t speak to him in volumes over the years, but when I did it was an enjoyable experience. 
2.  My grandmother isn’t doing well.  She was rushed to the hospital with a fever of 109 degrees.  They had to give her oxygen and they’re not sure what’s gonna happen next.  Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  I don’t have a large family, so bad news like this is NEVER good.
