It’s Good News…Right?
Last week, Andrew was called in for a third interview with a company in Wilsonville. He already had two phone interviews, but this third interview was an in person thing. When it was over, Andrew said that he felt like it went pretty good. Which is great. So now it’s a week later and just as we were discussing what day Andrew would call them back to see if they had made any decisions yet, he got a phone call from the agency acting as a go-between. They told him that things look "really positive" but that they couldn’t say definitely for sure whether or not he got the job yet because they didn’t want to get his hopes up…just in case. So now our hopes are up about the job. Because things haven’t looked "really positive" on the job front since he lost his job back in May. It’s going on three months sans income and The Money, she is almost gone. So it would be fabulous if "really positive" turned out to be a good thing. My question is this: What on earth did that lady mean by that? Is it "really positive" that they might reach a decision sometime soon? Is it "really positive" that Andrew unofficially got the job, but they have to run it by the higher ups before telling him? Is it "really positive" that the other guy got the job? And just how many more times do I think can say "really positive" before I’m removed from all your blogrolls? I’m sure she meant the phone call to be something to settle our minds a bit, but I’m really positive that it did just the opposite.
*sigh*
So what do you guys think?
Humor-Blogs.com is "really positive" that it has hundreds of funny blogs just waiting for you to read them!
If they are calling you with updates, then I would view that as encouraging. Good Luck! Being unemployed sucks.

Alright! Here are prayers and crossed fingers for you.
Really positive is good. Though If she is wrong.
I hope I never meet her in person.

I’d like to think of it in these terms … I’m really positive that you’re made of awesome.
Since I’ve read your blog for MONTHS and I’ve actually met and talked to you IN REAL LIFE, you know that when I say it, it does mean that you are truly made of awesome.
And, like Augusto pointed out, THEY’RE calling YOU with an update. That is a very nice sign. I’ll be praying, too!!

It sounds like good news and also that they didn’t want your hus to take a job elsewhere while he is waiting. Not so nice.
Good luck, I hope he gets it!

I just upgraded to Firefox 3 and your blog shows up now!! Before it would skip and then I’d get the same 3 lines of text over and over through the whole page. It was weird. But we’re back in business now! On to my real comment -
You’re lucky you didn’t use “really positive” one more time, because that would have been my limit! haha I’m excited for you guys! Does a job in Wilsonville mean a relocation, or a commute? I hope oyu’ll let us know when things end up for sure!
