I just submitted an application for a job that I REALLY want with a company that looks fantastic on paper (well, online really).

I am also slightly freaking out

Thinking ahead, if I get this job, it will mean a HUGE move from NC to Wisconsin!! I am sitting here with my heater on at work and I am thinking about moving to a place where the average temp is 20 lower at this particular time. Plus, I will know no one AGAIN!

If I don't get the job, then I will just be depressed and sad. I think I have a pretty decent chance since they are the ones that contacted me through monster....right? RIGHT?!?

ok.....need to breathe now.....whew!

good luck, either way.

Everything's crossed for ya, bbro... damn, now the screens blurry.

GunMaster357 · 09-13-2010, 10:56 AM

Seems to be a very cool job...

Sorry, couldn't resist...
Hope everything will be OK

We've been in Chicago for quite a while now. You do adapt after a bit.

bbro · 09-13-2010, 11:42 AM

Thanks everyone. I think I hate the waiting the most. I am getting myself pumped up like I usually do, then I end up not even getting the job.

But this is by far the best place I have looked at in terms of job description, working environment and benefits, so I am doubly working myself into a frenzy waiting.

Living in a place that takes all four seasons very seriously is really neat...honest.

Many people self medicate to combat that, but that can have serious repercussions, so I recommend masturbation.

September in NC, and you have the heat on?!?! See a doctor, soon.

wolf · 09-13-2010, 05:08 PM

Good luck, buy some sweaters.

bbro · 09-14-2010, 07:52 AM

Gravdigr - Already have. Thyroid problems. Plus, the office can get down to 68 degrees in my cubicle. Had to pull out the med issue to even be considered for a heater.

bruce - I don't have it quite yet! Don't want to risk that.

monster - thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Please do all in your power to make sure they hire me

Update - just got the automated email from them saying they got my application.
