• Job Update

  This last week has gone well with the job I talked about in my last blog. I went back in for an in-person interview and that went very well. Then the had me do a phone interview with a woman in Texas who I would be working closely with, if I got the job. And then Friday I went in for two more hours of in-person interviews with the VP of the department and a couple other folks.

  I am pretty sure an offer will be made to me. They said they would get back to me, early this next week. The position would be helping with compliance of federal rules, etc. The company makes medical devices, like braces for knees and wrists, as well as surgical implants, such as knee and hip replacements. Everyone keeps telling me it is a very chaotic, busy position, that requires mega attention to details and organization. I told them it was pretty nuts at Yahoo!, but the VP said other people have told her they are used to chaotic and then were overwhelmed here. It does sound like they work hard, but also play hard. She said once a quarter they all do something fun as a team. This quarter they are going to lunch and then a movie. Last quarter it was lunch and a harbor cruise. Everyone seems very nice and I saw a notice for a weekly bingo after work. So I think people have fun there too.

  My guess is, that if they make an offer, they would ask me to start a week from this Monday. But I guess time will tell.

  Otherwise the week has been the normal housekeeping, organizing, doing school stuff, taking Megan to Girl Scouts, etc. Nothing much else of major news. Oh we did finally get some cooler weather and even some rain last night! I was starting to wonder if summer was really going to end, were we in the mid 90s all last week! Ugh! I would like to wear a sweater once in awhile now!

  Hope the weekend was nice for everyone!
