Uh huh...oh yeah...uh huh!!!!!

Today has been a very nerve wracking day!!!! I didn't sleep well because I was really nervous about the job interview I had today and the kids were kind of wild. Jamey got off early enough so that I could get ready and compose myself in peace before leaving for the the meeting.

I arrived about 20 minutes early and was called back almost immediately. I was welcomed by the lady who is the supervisor over the department containing the vacant position. She was so warm and welcoming that I was immediately at ease. (That is until she gave me a forewarning that I would be interviewed by three people at once...her and two others would be conducting the interview....I was thinking.....YIKES!!!! I somewhat imagined that it would be more than one person but to hear that my fear was reality was a little intimidating!!!! She assured me that I should not be nervous and smiled warmly again and again I was at ease....thank goodness.)

When I entered the room I was introduced to the other two ladies who would be helping conduct the interview. One was the HR Director and the other was actually a member of the community. (I thought that a citizen of the community was a rather unique idea.) I was asked a series of various questions regarding multiple topics and as I answered there was a lot of smiling and nodding by by interviewers as they jotted very detailed notes. I was very comfortable and feel that I made a very positive impression on them.

I am trying very hard not to let my hopes take wings soar away. I asked when they expect to narrow the applicants down and when they expect to notify the finalists and was told it may be about a week or so. They have other applicants to interview and with the current job market I feel sure they are going to have a lot of highly qualified people applying.

I do feel very confident that I did my very best and the rest is up to them.

I think I may have floated out of the building and if Riley had been there I would have initiated a fanny shaking dance with her in the parking lot...."uh huh...oh yeah...uh huh"!!!!!
