Well Mike? I think we're all as itchy about it as you. This one is full time, right?

Still on phone watch, Mike. This one is technically 6 months "contract to perm", but the company always budgets for permanently hiring. Most use the 6 month contract time frame as a version of a "probationary period." If things don't work out, it's much easier on the company to call it off.

There were 8 people that I interviewed with who needed to all get together to discuss me, so it's not a surprise they were not able to complete that yesterday. I keep trying to remind my wife that we need to be patient as this hiring is not nearly as big of a deal to all of them as it is to us. [:D]

I have my Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley playing on my earphones while I'm validating scanned bubble sheet data to keep me in the right mind frame. [8D]

It'll ring tomorrow!

I think so, Pax! [:)]

Best wishes Mike! [:)]

BTW, here the answer after job interview can happen even 7-10 (or longer) after meeting - is it usual in USA that you simply must have call back the day after?

Thanks, Leo! Here, it's not uncommon for a response to take 7-10 days, particularly if the company is interviewing a lot of candidates. In this case, everything has been happening as quickly as possible, from first phone interview, to the 2 days of face to face interviews, and I also asked them how soon they hope to hire someone, and they replied, "very quickly", so I expect to hear good news today.

[:-] Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley? Uh huh...just what 'frame of mind' are you in now, dude? Is that a good idea while you're expecting your prospective employers to call you? [;)]

Hi all,

BTW, today my country signed EU accession treaty in Brussels... in 18 months we will become 28th EU country (hopefully after ratification in all member parliaments and our own referendum)...
