Monday Came and Went...

with no rejection. Hooray!

But alas, it is now Tuesday, and I got word on the Operations Manager position I interviewed for almost 2 weeks ago. That would be a "no".

OMG what happened?!

I got the "we feel you're VERY qualified blah blah blah, and encourage you to apply for other openings in the future blah blah blah..." They said the candidate they chose had more experience with outsourcing. Considering that the most I know about India is that Apu on The Simpsons is from there, I suppose their point was valid.

They're a good company, and I still want to work there. (Heck, I still want to work anywhere, except maybe, Radio Shack...) So, they will remain on my target list.

Oh, and seeing as how the person I interviewed with told me she was putting in 14 hour days, sometimes staying until midnight, well, maybe this was God's Plan that this wasn't the right job. (When would I do all my sleeping ??!) :-)

With that bad news behind me, get this: I get home from the gym this morning, (oh, and by the way, the people I'm now "regulars" with at the gym deserve their whole own blog entry. THAT will be good humor...) Where was I...oh yeah, so I get home from the gym and there is a message from "Gretchen" at The Hartford Insurance Group, calling all the way from merry 'ol New England! Hartford Connecticut to be exact...that would be where the "Hartford" in "The Hartford" comes from, get it?? (Dan didn't at first, but he sells paint and beer, so I'm cutting him some slack...)

I posted my profile on the Hartford website yesterday and applied for a position with their Long Term Disability group in Bloomington MN. (That commute to Connecticut would be a b*tch wouldn't it?...)

So BAM, the next day they're calling me up "very interested" in talking to me.

If the job involves India, I'm set, for I have now memorized Apu's last name, which is "Nahasapeemapetilon"

Is that enough?

;-)
