I Hate The Waiting Game






I'm a very impatient person. *sigh* I've been guzzling tea like a maniac because I can't stop fidgeting; then at least my hands are busy. With tea. I guess. argh.

My biggest pet peeve in the world is people who can't make up their minds, and just slowly shuffle towards an eventual choice. They order slow, talk slow, respond slow, and here i am all ready to take the next step. I've made up my mind. I rarely back-step, and I usually regret relenting. (say that ten times fast)

I've been having a bittersweet week; I was offered an internal interview at my company for a full-time position. Alone, this is great news...it's what I was hoping for all along with my freelance project, and it reflects quite well on me. The real heck of it is that they're apparently interviewing other people from outside the company as well. This puts me in an awkward position.

1) I was interviewed by three people on my floor. I see these people every day, and frankly, I can even see them now, discussing resumes. It's kinda weird to walk over to your bosses desk to ask about a database while they're deciding if you get a real job or not. Very weird, actually.

2) IF, and god forbid, IF someone else gets the job, that'll be a newer employee working over me, and I may cry/hate them/feel almightily cheated.

I really hope they make up their minds soon. I'm the best choice, people...geeze, you already hired me, so clearly you're...um...ok with hiring me, eh?

I hear ya and sympathize. You surely rock the world of your company, and they would be fools to deny you this. Good luck, knock on leg, and then break it, you rock star.
