I'm trying to get excited about NEST. I need today to be over first.
My husband has his second interview for a new position at work this afternoon. He really wants it. Now if you know my Bill at all, you know he's like a little Irish version of Bob Newhart crossed with Steven Wright. He does NOT get excited. He just...doesn't; in the 19 yrs I've known him he's raised his voice maybe...4 times. That's not an exaggeration, and yes that's quite a feat being married to crazy little me for so long. So for him to actually show real emotion and desire for something, especially something job related and not concerning the only parts of life he normally considers important (me, our little girls, the History Channel, his Xbox360...) is a big deal. I want this for him. It would mean at least another 7-10 grand per year (!), better benefits and more importantly job security in a company that's moving many positions to Texas. And...it would mean that those bozos in suits recognize his value and all that he's done over the last few years, I think that's what's most important for him about this.
According to his coworkers he has it in the bag; he's the *only* guy in the entire building with experience on the system he'd be working on, he's the only one applying with a degree, the guys already on the team ALL love him and wrote him sparkly recommendations...there's zero reason he should get passed over and we're already practically celebrating. But my tummy's in knots and I just. want. to. KNOW.
I'll be excited for NEST at NEST. Right now I'm being the Woman Behind the Man and rooting for him with all that I have
