NORMAL!!! Unbelievable!! I am so happy for ya Julia!

“Hi, Darrell ~
Yes, you are still in the running for the Systems Administrator position. Hopefully we will have a decision within the next couple of weeks. We are in the big middle of open enrollment for our benefits and our 401(k) meetings are all next week. Sorry for the delay in getting back with you. No decision has been made at this point.
Thanks a bunch!”
Still in the running- Yay! 😀
Next couple of weeks. GROAN!
No decision has been made. 🙁
DH and I agree- she’s just been too busy to check his (and maybe others’) references. This is probably the busiest time of the year for her.

Andy started refusing a BFing here and there and 2 days ago he refused 2 in a row (we were only doing 3 a day) so I decided to see if he’d ask if I didn’t offer any more. Nope. 48+ hours now and I don’t even hurt. Yup- he was refusing because there wasn’t any.
All done with that. *Wipes hands on pants and moves on*
He’s drinking most of four 5.5ish ounce bottles of “magic” formula. That’s not a whole lot but I guess it’s okay.

You can read about DH’s interview here. Despite no real job offer yet, we are starting to pack up things and prepare for a garage sale. It’s kinda fun- for now. 🙂 We are hoping to hear from the company really soon.

2 3/4 hours after the start of the interview (good sign right there) and I finally hear some news. Very brief and cryptic though:
“Hi, I have to pee soooo bad, my cell phone is gonna die, I’ll call you back after I’ve charged it in the car. Went well, they love me and I love them. Have to take a 2 hour test when I get home. Call you soon.”
And that was it. LOL.
2 hour test??? Huh??

DH and Bren have been gone 6 hours now. It is creepy quiet. Andy is acting out of sorts- I guess he’s never been separated from Bren this long. Come to think of it, neither have I.
A big thundery storm came through a bit ago. Good chance more is coming too. Adds to the creep factor. So does having no computer game or cartoon sounds in the background.
I made a giant potato salad (with ONIONS and CELERY! Ha!) and heated up a divine mesquite smoked brisket. I’m set for the next 27 hours or so in the food dept. 😛 The brisket is so good that I didn’t even put any kind of sauce on it. Andy loves the potato salad as long as I don’t goof and give him a sliver of onion. Haha. Just like his Dad.
DH is well equipped with new clothes and new leather notebook. We spent until 3:15 a.m. completing his application. Ack. And then I cut his hair!! Of course, just as I was dozing off at about 4 a.m. Andy started crying. That kid….
We’ve both put more emotionally into this endeavor than we meant to. I hope it works out and he loves it and moving doesn’t take out of me what I think it will. *Crossed fingers* And if he thinks he’ll hate it, I hope he declines instead of deciding to bear with it. Money isn’t everything.
