Another non-news update. H's supervisor called them back and gave his reference. It sounds like they've spoke to all of the references that H gave, but no offer yet. Boooo. Wait wait wait wait.
I'm following this closely because I feel like if he hasn't heard anything, it's ok that I haven't either, LOL. Fingers crossed for both of us! I expected yesterday would be the earliest I'd hear anything, I am hopeful today or tomorrow (for both!).
Aw, you guys are the best. This is definitely the worst. Especially now that word is leaking out around our small town and our group of friends. It'll be somewhat embarrassing to chat about if it doesn't pan out.
H thinks the Hr people are checking references while the organization heads are putting the offer together. He also wondered if HR was calling references for the top two applicants and then reporting back, which would really suck.
I don't know what to think. Thankfully, it is super busy in the office so I'm distracted.
I know how frustrating the wait can be, but there's a million reasons why it might be taking them a little bit longer to make him an offer - including debating how much money he's worth :-)
Annoying but it IS Friday in the summer so maybe things are just slow moving?
That's possible. But ugh this waiting sucks. He becomes less enthusiastic about it the longer it goes.
Let's both keep our chins up. None of my references have been called either. I'm blaming the slow gov't hiring process. I hope that Mr. ILL and I both get good job news next week.
I am sorry same here. I'm outwardly blaming it being the summer and people being slow, but inwardly thinking they've offered it to someone else and are negotiating before letting me down. I totally understand how Mr. ILL is feeling right now. Every day that passes makes it more horrible, and I was really hoping to have heard (you guys too) before the weekend.

Ugh, I'm sorry. Letting it drag through a weekend sucks.
Well, I am definitely not seeing this as bad news. It's just a process and takes time, especially during the summer when people are vacationing and slacking. I don't think they would have moved things along this far if an offer weren't coming, but I know it sucks to have to think about it through the weekend. Fingers crossed it comes very soon! For you, too, chickens987.
Thanks for updating, too, womet. I was wondering, but I didn't want to be that guy. "Did you hear anything? Any updates?" When I see that, I always think, if this person heard something, wouldn't she have made a thread? Gosh.
I still have high hopes for both you and chickens987! summers are always weird times, i'm sure they are just taking their time on making sure they have the strongest offer possible!
