So, just thought I'd share a small whine. After waiting 3 weeks for the "formal offer from HR" - once again - no job. The very nice HR chief sent me an e-mail - essentially saying that their corporate HQ in Germany has told them to hold off on new hires until after the 1st quarter. But thanked me for all my time, and said how much they enjoyed meeting me. Really - I guess that e-mail has made doing the difficult personal personnel conversations easier - since she had told me last week that I'd hear from her with details no later than yesterday. Ugh. But, to let them know if I haven't gotten anything at the end of the quarter because they'll be able to hire then.
So, anyhow, I have now made myself a latte, pushed back my tears of frustration after wasting 3 weeks of potential serious job searching, and resisted the temptation to pull out my hair and stitch with it. Going to do the fabulous run to grocery for milk, eggs and more espresso beans...in the face of snow flurries. And then...come home cook and stitch. Maybe I'll be inspired from my inertia.
Thanks for listening to the whine.
