DH is at a second interview- right now. He's tired of the crap at his old job, his commute sucks, his hours are even worse.
He found a job he REALLY wants, with a company he likes who makes a product he loves, better hours, and less than 1/3 of his old commute. I know he has a good chance- but he wants it so bad- and I want it for him.
I don't think I'm going to even try and work this morning.

Body parts crossed for both of you.
In the meantime, I find it helps when I am distracted by something important but out of my control to break tasks down in to small pieces and focus on the small piece. For some reason, trying to wrap my brain around two big things just leads to mental paralysis, LOL.
Good luck to DH!! He WILL find the right new job for him!!!

Facility tour is part of it. I'm sure that will take a while. 1 hour 53 minutes and no word yet. I AM NOT A PATIENT PERSON.  |

Finally heard from him. Sounds like it went well. They told him what their philosophy and structure is and basically left it with- think about it over the weekend and call us Monday if you think you can be successful in this environment.
A bit weird to me- but DH said typical for his position. So I guess it's a tell us if your still interested and we'll decide if we are going to make you an offer?

I hope it works out for him! A good job change can be like flipping a lightswitch on everything.

He talked with them again for about 45 minutes on monday. They told him they would contact him on Wednesday, but still no word.
It's killing me. He said he'll call the recruiter if he doesn't hear anything by this afternoon. I'm trying to be patient and not push him.
But if they've decided not to hire him, I would have think they would have told him. Or at least gave the standard " we are talking to a couple other people and will let you know"...
