Morning all. Here I sit at home waiting to be called into work. I'm so bored....Worst thing is when I get the call I'll be working till midnight, if I'm lucky:twitch: At least I'm hourly :greedy:
Called into work?

What the heck are you talking about?

Well testing today, they're not finished drilling the well, so here I sit waiting. The well test usually lasts about 8-12 hours.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh gottcha!
Make sure you don't drop the probe in it like your office did at the M.P. job.

Morning all! Beautiful here... high 80s and sunny for the remainder of the week! I am going out to the pool and hot tub after work, and soaking up some of this loveliness! :D

Morning - full days worth of interviews for me. I did well and I'm one of two finalists for the position.....but I'm also a candidate for an even better more challenging job......what if I get the offer for the one I interviewed for yesterday and accept and then get an offer for the other more lucrative job?
is the 2nd job at your current employeer? the same company that didnt give you squat for a rasie this year?

I'd be careful (not accepting) the 1st job, what if the 2nd one never happens, and while you are waiting on that , #1 place decides to hire someone else

Yo all. Going to do an "old school Grafton" ride tonight (though in Pittstown) with old friends from the Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club, plus a few aerobically challenged downhiller friends from here as well. Doing a techy ride with lots of sessioning sections, elbowing each other and later parking lot beer drinking rather than heart rate elevation as a goal in general.

And as a young man of Middle Eastern descent working in a food mart once said to me at the counter, "Have a night..."

I'll be working at a private college doing staff writing. It's a great gig with awesome pay and benefits.

I'll finally be able to somewhat afford my bike addiction!
Ahhh awesome!

Say hi to the lesbo's (I'm talking about some of the hottest ones I've ever seen in my life) and remember to eat the lamb at lunch.

I would let the other more lucrative job know that you are one of two finalists for the other job and that way they know they need to move quickly!

GOOD LUCK!!!! I am SO glad things seem to be looking up for you!

Morning all! Good morning here so far. I am about to go grab some lunch on the run whilst doing some errands so I can (fingers crossed) get a ride in tonight.

Last night I had too much fun playing with Syd to do much of anything else. She's really starting to crawl a bit and it's way too funny to watch!

Do you know when to expect the offer for the other job?

If you do, and if it's not too long a wait, I'd probably tell the first one (at the point that they have given you the job) I needed a few days to get things in order and weigh my options before I could formally accept.

I don't know if that's smart, but it's what I'd do :D
The timelines for these two jobs are not running in parallel unfortunately. The one I interviewed for yesterday - I'd expect a decision to be made in two weeks. The other that I want to Boston for that Search Firm Interview could take a month or longer before a final decision is made by the organization looking to fill the vacant position.
