    It was a let you know BY Thursday. Mr Pup is his own hardest critic. I'm about to call him again.

    I think when you (general you, not YOU you) replay an interview or scenario that holds a lot of weight in your mind, you always focus on the things that you think went poorly when in reality, others probably never noticed. I'm sure he did very well and based on the things you're telling us that the interviewers have said, it sounds very promising! all my fingers and toes are crossed for you!

    Ok so we talked again. He's really tired, which is making him sound less hopeful than he actually feels.

    We just keep replaying that comment that his interviewer made -- "I guess we can make it another two weeks without you, we will be really busy."

    Why would he say that if he weren't planning on bringing him in???

    Plus that guy this morning who was talking to Mr Pup about a job for me. It's all GOOD stuff.

    Were just doubting ourselves because he didn't get an offer, or a hint of an offer, today. But I'm trying to stay positive!

    I told my h about this thread and he was flattered. :) you guys are the best.

    These all sound good! Fx for the Pup family that it comes through sooner than thurs.
    And then there were three...

    lol I'll start a new thread when we get the news.


    He texted Brian and asked if Brian knew anything. But Mr. Pup's texts to me have been really cryptic because he's at work! After he texted Brian I got a "Neither positive or negative." And then when I said "BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD," my H sent me a text that said, "Brian says they will call, don't worry."

    So what I'm saying, very badly, is that I still have no news.

    But I did mow the front, back, AND side yards! I made a little bargain in my head that said "If I finish this mowing, they'll call with good news." Because my H getting a job offer is clearly dependent on my mowing abilities.

    I do things like that too. #logic

    I've kind of MIA for the past few days, but I wanted to drop by and tell you that I've been thinking about you guys a lot. I'm so anxious and excited for you! Right now, I'm getting ready to head to Nar-Anon but I'm going to sit down and email you later. It's way overdue. ;)

    My fingers and toes are crossed. :) Continuing to send good vibes your way.










    This is like waiting for Christmas morning.

    Latest text from my h, after speaking to Brian:

    "He said that there are no other candidates, they are just deciding on placement. So who knows"

    This better freaking happen soon! I mowed the entire lawn, dammit!

    Well, that's really encouraging!

    lol @ dreamingbabies!!! 

    He doesn't think we're going to hear anything today. He'll be home in an hour and I'll grill him about what Brian said, but he doesn't think it'll be today. Brian is apparently very confident, but I want to know why Brian is so confident. 

    BLAH!!!! This is by far the worst part. I feel like such a tease, I led you all on and now I have no answers!!

    NO updates. This is literally making me sick with anxiety. Last night, my H texted Brian and said "No call today, hopefully tomorrow" and Brian responded with one word: "Thursday."

    I wish my H would just flat ask Brian what he knows, if anything, but he's trying to play it cool. Brian is also in the middle of his first week there, and clearly doesn't have time to be coddling Mr. Pup. However, we do think that if Brian knew BAD news, he'd tell us. 

    Regardless, this is brutal. So ridiculously anxiety producing I want to barf.

    So we're not going to know anything today. That's cool. Annoying. Anxiety-inducing. But we can be cool about it. How are we occupying ourselves today to take our minds off this? (besides stress eating. I'm out of snack food.)
    I don't knowwww. Yesterday I mowed the lawn for 2 hours and that seemed to help. I'm finally back at work today for real, and I'm hoping we'll be slammed so I can stay preoccupied. If we're not, I'm probably going to clean furiously to get out some of this anxiety.

    But literally, my stomach is in knots. I feel pukey. My H can't concentrate at work either. We keep thinking...Brian seems so confident, and he's said "don't worry, they're going to call." Brian is not one to mince words or make up stories, so there's no reason for him to say that if he didn't believe it.

    Then Brian went on to chat about random other things, totally "la la la" no big deal! I feel like...he either knows it's bad and is trying to distract my H with other things, or he's just so confident he's not wasting time reassuring my H. (Because he already told him what he knows-- that they're calling on Thursday.)

    Either way, we just want answers. This is the difference between "we're relocating our whole lives in a matter of weeks" and "We're stuck here for lord knows how long."

    Even though there are sooo many signs pointing to yes, I'm preparing myself for bad news. :(

    I'm going to make a clicky poll to see how you should keep yourself busy/how we all should cope.

    I feel like this is a lot like the SFP Club. We all know we're going to hear something but we don't know what and when and we're overanalyzing every smoke signal from Brian. Just like when we were SFP -- we all knew we were having babies, we just didn't know when, and we were like "my nose itches, could it be early labor?"
    See, this is exactly what we're doing. There are so many positives -- the interviewer's comment about "We'll be busy, but we'll manage without you for a couple weeks." Brian's comments about how they're just deciding where to put Mr. Pup. The fact that Brian said there were no other candidates. But until my H hears from them personally, it's all just smoke signals. Anything could happen.

    I think that if I were content in my job here, and happy for realz in this town, I wouldn't be so anxious. But we both want this SO badly that getting bad news will be crushing. 

    I also can't help but wonder, why are they waiting until Thursday unless it's going to be bad news? Wouldn't they want my H to give his notice ASAP?

    @codypup there's probably one person who needs to sign off on this who isn't in the office until Thursday or something redonk like that. When my H got his new job, there was a MONTH between interview and offer. He finally called them because he had another offer (that he didn't really want) and just wanted to know where he stood, The HR person said she couldn't tell him anything officially, but that if he could hold off responding to the offer for 24 hours, she'd have news for him. And it was because someone was on an extended vacation and they needed this person's signature on the offer papers. 

    Because employers are weird like that.

    Those are both logical reasons @shellbell3845 and @sakura0019. 

    It's just getting really hard to stay optimistic. 

    Lucky for me, since our town went to shit yesterday with exploding transformers, rolling blackouts, and zero internet, I have over 50 credit card transactions to manually put through our system. FUN! At least it's keeping me occupied.

    I <3'd the SFP Club too. Except I hated it. Except I loved it. (My first thought after I determined that I was having contractions was that I was going to be kicked out of the club.)

    Can I just note that this thread has gotten 2.1K views?

    If people are lurking and not love titting, I'm going to be mad. Love tit me, dammit!!!



    I've been checking for updates but I've been swamped and haven't had time to comment much. I still have everything crossed for you! We went through something similar last year when we moved to Utah - the hiring manager told DH that they would likely make a decision and let him know of that decision by Wednesday evening but they would definitely have the decision made by Friday evening. We were flying home on Wednesday (Utah to Georgia) so his phone was off and it was torture!! And, coincidentally, his previous AD and his wife were on the same flight as us from Utah to Atlanta, sitting right across from us! (DH's old boss was fired so, since as an assistant his employment was directly tied to hers, he was out of a job, too.) Wednesday came and went, as did Thursday, and most of Friday before they called and offered him the job. Something came up that the administration had to handle immediately so their call to him got put on the back burner. I hope y'all hear - the GOOD news - sooner rather than later!

    LOL!!! Now I have you people house hunting for me?! I love it.

    But if this job actually paid enough to be able to afford that house...I'd be going crazier than I already am. As it stands, I'm going to have to get a job too for us to be okay financially. I haven't even gone there in my mind yet. We just need the okay to move forward, and then I'll get to panic about OTHER things! 

    And I'm about to kill Mr. Pup. He just sent me cryptic text that basically led me to believe he had gotten bad news. Which he totally hadn't, he is just super anxious like I am and expressing his frustrations at not knowing. 

    STOP TOYING WITH MY EMOTIONS OMG
