Well I hope it goes super well for him Cats

Signed,

Still waiting in So. Cal.

Hi Dawn! Don't forget to breathe while you're waiting!

Signed,

Next door in So. Cal.

Hey... how did you know I was turning blue - :-?

I am having the hardest time focusing on anything... I need to be studying for two intense exams this week... I do think the waiting is the hardest part!

;-)

another day gone by...and still no word. Sigh.

Just an update - we have not heard still. I am assuming at this point due to a few things we have learned that the answer is a no go. I will of course update but feeling discouraged in Orange County.

Dh needs to get back on the horse and continue seeking...he has been in a stale mate so to speak waiting for this one way or the other.

Keeping my fingers crossed for something good to come your way!

Sorry, Dawn...$#@$ job searches...so hard!! Hugs!

I'm sorry. I know the uncertainly is so hard. One day at a time is all I can suggest.
Feel better!

Thanks gals. I am feeling 100% overwhelmed. I wept today for the first time in a long time.

Dawn - Hoping it all works out the way you want it!

Hugs to you!!

Ah, Dawn - you have yourself a good cry whenever you need to. It helps. Being in limbo just plain sucks. I'm kinda sorta in the same boat at the moment - hubby's trying to decide on his full-time job and/or farming and maybe us moving (though not long-distance) - loooong story. It's really HIS decision, which kind of irks me, but at least my own job is stable.

Hang in there, sweetie.

It is really hard to be waiting for an answer, and be on an emotional roller coaster because your mind is running through all the possibilities over and over again. Trust that things will work out in the end; they usually do. In a few years, you'll likely look back and be grateful that you didn't move to Texas. Best to you and your family.

More hugs going your way {{{Dawn}}}. We were in your shoes once, and I know how truly awful this is for both of you. For us it did all work out for the very best, every aspect, and hopefully the same will be true for you.

We've talked about this, and now, looking back, DH would not have changed a thing about his career, neither taking the job that eventually did not work out (another really bad period in the economy), but provided growth, nor the job he went to, which he LOVES so dearly, he's having a hard time letting go to retire!

Let us know how it goes! My very very best to you both. I'm thinking of you.

Aw, Dawn! I am so sorry!!! Hang in there (not that you have a choice)but at least you know you can come here and vent!! You have a lot on your plate, my friend!

Thank you so much. Yes, it does help to have someplace to vent - as we are not sharing this..and at this point it seems crazy.

So sorry you have so much going on in your life. Big hugs to you.

Iowa - I am sorry you are in limbo as well.

It appears we might actually know something tomorrow - or maybe not - as we have thought that for a while. HR did call and wants to set up a conversation with a "big boss" (no they are not calling him that!) tomorrow at 12 noon PST. Okay... sigh.

Mom, I know from our own personal experience with DS that the process can be a rather long and drawn out one. DS had a nearly full-day interview with several people, and then two phone interviews with two other "big boss" types. This, in addition to several discussions with HR. He finally got the call asking him "what it would take" for him to make the switch. Now, he is waiting for the compensation and offer package to come in the mail -- this will take another two weeks because THAT person it away on vacation. So in the meanwhile, my already too skinny son is melting away from the stress of it all. And he's just a singleton (well, in a committed relationship) and the stress doesn't compare to what you are going through -- but it IS stressful! Nothing in business seems to move quickly.

I know you have such mixed feelings about this whole thing and either way it won't be easy for you and your family. Stay well and Good Luck to you all!!

you are so right STW! On my goodness, I hope we do not have to wait on a compensation package in the mail. Yikes. Best wishes to your ds as well.

We remind ourselves that while this is "our" world right now - the people in the company have a ton of things going on.
