Interview...and phone call.

So, I am pretty sure the interview went well...and this made me even more hopeful!

But now, I had to tell Melissa at work...uh-oh! When was the last time you asked for 4 weeks off work??!!

I could not have dreamt for a better response!! Thank you Melissa, vielen dank, from the bottom of my eager little heart! Thank you for your encouragement and support!

After the interview, Dennis told me I would hear from him within that week. It was the longest four days ever....not to mention the insanity with the beeping smoke alarm upstairs with no access! But that is another story...oh...never mind!

Fast forward to Wednesday following the interview...and I am at Broken Drum Microbrewery in San Rafael with Chris...dear, dear Chris...he and I were having Hefewizen while I explained to him what news I was waiting for...RING, RING...there is my phone and it is Dennis. Shit! The phone call I have been waiting for and now I couldn't seem to press the right button.

Me: This is Christine.
Dennis: Hi Christine, this is Dennis with Rotary GSE.
**(uh...no shit dude...i have been checking my phone every 45 seconds for the last four days waiting for you to call! )**
Me: Hi Dennis.
Dennis: Congratulations! You have been selected to be part of the GSE team!
Me: Oh, that is so great! Are you serious?
Dennis: No! I'm kidding!!
**(in his best sarcastic voice that I have yet to be comfortable with)**
Me: Wow! This is really great!
**(I am now giving a HUGE smile and thumbs up to Chris who is still inside sipping his Hefeweizen...)**
Dennis: blah, blah, blah...

The rest of what he said is a total blur! I heard what I wanted and it's time to sip--ah--who am I kidding--it's time to chug more Hefeweizen!

So, back in the Broken Drum and Chris is standing there with his arms open wide and a big, warm, cozy congratulatory hug! He is the best...
