Maybe . . . maybe?

pegkerrI desperately hope I don't jinx things by saying this . . .
Rob met with the district manager for two and a half hours today. In typical lawyerly hedging Minnesota understatement, he says, "I don't think I talked myself out of the job." By the end of the interview, he told the interviewer that he liked what he heard and yes, he wanted the job. He also told them both that I supported him taking it. And in return, apparently the district manager liked what he heard, too, because he told Rob's old boss that he had the go-ahead to hire Rob if he wants to. And because Andy called Rob in the first place, we hope this means that Rob has a new job. We are simply waiting for the formal offer, which (I hope I hope I hope) will come in the next few days. Right before Christmas. The fact that Andy promised to email Rob information about benefits also seems a very promising sign.
If/when that formal offer comes in, I will scream for joy and thank you all for your support during these last difficult months. But until then, I must simply keep on with my everyday life as best as I can with all my fingers and toes crossed and hope for the best.
Any prayers and good wishes you care to offer up until then are, of course, very welcome.

Date: 2007-12-20 08:34 pm (UTC)But I've also worried about you, because OMG stress and I know how it is, it's just like a million years of rain and it can wear holes in the hardiest bedrock. I will be so relieved and glad when you tell us that it's official. And what a terrific Christmas present!

Oh, yeah. It's hard to imagine that Andy would call Rob and say, "Hey, I got the go-ahead to hire you!" and then not do it. He's in.
We all look forward to hearing the good news officially. I hope Rob loves the job!

Good luck!
