From Phone to In Person

R had his phone interview this morning and the whole time leading up to this interview was really weird. First off, they didn't even bother to call to schedule it, it was done via e-mail. After they set the date/time they never got back to him about whether it was Centr.al or Eas.tern time so he basically had to guess, luckily he guessed correct. The last thing that was weird was that they made him call and it wasn't a toll free number. It was just all really bizarre, things are so impersonal these days, not sure if that's good or bad.

So when I got home from work today I inquired about how it went and he was happy with the interview and said that they are going to talk over the candidates next week and that in person interviews would be set for the week after that. So basically we're talking nearly the last week in May or somewhere around there, sigh. We're running out of time so that's frustrating that all this takes so darn long.....or so we thought. Around 3:30pm an e-mail popped up and it was asking him to come down for an in person interview!!!!!!!!!! So it was a matter of about 6 hours. He got to choose between next Thursday or Friday and they are flying him down and paying for a night in a hotel. We don't live that far away from Chic.ago and if you recall the last time he had an interview down there he just drove and took the train.

So needless to say I'm asking everyone to please pray like you've never prayed before, ask people you know to pray, cross your fingers, keep us in your thoughts, because this is literally our last chance at making it through this mess without getting too beat up. If something doesn't work out by the end of May then we're really in for some horrible times and I just don't think that I can take that.
