Timelines out of sync

Even as I type this, Momma Weedy is angrily insisting that it is bedtime so I will try to be brief and minimize the wrath of the Weedy Cat.

I hate to write about job hunting here yet again but had an interview today that I won't go into a lot of detail about but will say that I hate that there is no urgency on THEIR part when there is a tremendous amount of urgency on my part and that while I would probably really like the job I interviewed for today, I am wondering if I will still be sitting around waiting when they get to their second round of interviews and then all the pre-employment screening/background checking, etc. I understand that they can afford to pick and choose and do whatever they want right now. But that doesn't help me feel any less panic or impatience with the process.

The novel is coming along. I am on track with word count and all but am struggling with making it be what I desire for it to be.

Tomorrow the job search continues. It is eating up alot of time. It is frustrating. Frustrating to have an agency call you, go in and do their ream of paperwork, have what seems to be a good interview and then have them not return calls or emails. If there is something turning up in my background check, it's news to me and I'd really like to know. Avoiding/not returning my phone calls and emails is just serving to make me angry/paranoid.

Speaking of angry, Momma Weedy wants you all to know I am being very naughty and am up past my bed time and need to go to bed NOW (MAO!!)


Ok, Week Four was a while ago but... Natalie Dee is awesome!

I'm still pulling for you as you search for a job. Be patient, of course.

I don't know what "talents" you have, but I know that you are a genuine person. Many are 'talented' but are not 'genuine'. We tend to misprioritize the two here in America.

The job search is not an easy one.

Good luck to you.

I hate the amount of time it takes places to do their hiring - it's frustrating. What's worse is when they don't even do you the courtesy of informing you if you are not selected so you're just left hanging.

Good luck with your continued search.
