Working? Or waiting for work? Hang out here!

I'm waiting for a phone call from a potential employer, and it's nerve-wracking having to sit here hoping. Plus, I've got another job interview this afternoon. If you're bored at work, or have no work, hang out here and let's circulate some moral support. :-)

1. I said it before...

and it bears repeating...they'd be crazy not to hire you. :)

Oh, and I'm bored at work...but that's nothing new.

3. Wow...I guess no one...

wants to play with us. I feel so unloved. ;)

4. Yeah, their loss.

Guess they're all loving their jobs, or aren't on-line at work, or work for companies that monitor on-line activity. Or something. Still no call. Damn! :grr: It's nearly 10:30 my time, and nothing.

5. What time is your other interview?

And 10:30 is still fairly early in the morning. (At least it always seems that way to me.) :)

6. It's at 4pm. I deliberately scheduled it for later in the day, so I can

hang around here for the phone call from the other prospect. As you say, I guess it's still early yet, but I always make follow-up phone calls starting around 9am; opening time. Guess not everybody does that, though.

7. Well, I suppose...

if you haven't heard from them by lunch-time you could call them. Did they specifically say they would call this morning?

8. When I left the interview yesterday, they said they'd call

"today or tomorrow." They didn't call yesterday afternoon or evening, or so far this morning, so I'm still waiting. :boring:

BTW, did you get my reply to your last PM? The computer is going so slow right now, I don't know what's going through, and what isn't.
