Can I tell y'all a little secret? (sml update pg2)

Ethel, 5 December, 2008 at 17:44 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 29

It's killing me not being able to talk about it IRL..

Hal is currently on his way to a job interview for the most perfect amazing job and there is a great chance he will get it, being that it is exactly what his masters is in, and his masters adviser is best friends with the guy interviewing (as well as His old advisor)...

We havent said a word to his parents; we are hoping to be able to tell them when he has the job and boy am i looking forward to that moment! They have no faith in us at all and to be able to turn around and tell them to bugger off will be sooooo worth it.

So, fingers crossed, toes crossed and as many good vibes as you can spare that this goes well and we can finally sort ourselves out!

Lindsay

    Oh Lindsay, that's fantabulous news! Good luck Hal. Everything crossed this end .. which is the same end as you lol

    When he gets the job we'll have to go for a celebratory coffee/lunch/drink/walk-in-the-park-with-Rubes

    Good luck Hal ?

    I hope it's taking so long because they're discussing terms, etc. ?

    What time was the interview? Does Hal have his cell with him so he can call you straight after?

    Fingers are still crossed this end (my excuse for not doing any work!) ?

    Just got a text from Hal

    "Interview went well. Long. Will hear shortly. Man was nice" (interviewer/potential future boss).

    So, if there is still a part of your body uncrossed, now is the time to cross it...Thanks for all the support

    O0o0o fingers crossed for you!

    My Joe went for an interview today and it went well but he's not going to hear till tomorrow or maybe even Monday. He's not told anyone about it but I'm really crossing my fingers for him as he really hates where he currently works.
