Hopefully this is a good sign: he thought it would be an hour long interview. It's been 1.5 hours and he hasn't texted me yet to say that he's on his way back to pick me up. I'm working from a Starbucks while dd has a play date with my cousin's son.

Keep crossing things!

So, he feels like it went pretty well. He gave himself a B+. He said the interview panel ate up his responses on the budget and some of the organizational questions. They asked, "so when can you start?" And he responded, "as soon as you want me to." Then he explained that his wife has some obligations in our current town but is really excited to move here since she has family in the area. They liked that; apparently the last guy never convinced his wife to move to the town.

At the end of the interview they told him to go introduce himself to the HR lady and in the department offices. Everyone he met knew his name and was expecting him, which is good since that's an incredibly awkward situation! The offices were cool and he liked the vibe.

The job would be a title and responsibility jump for him, but in a small organization that has low pressure and ridiculously high pay for the position. If offered, he'll take it. They expect to make a decision by the end of this week and phone calls early next week. Please please please ease!

Lol! I want to badly to spend this morning working out a timeline and to-do lists. But I don't want to be crushed if they hire someone else. So I'll just sit here and stew about it! Whhyyyy do organizations take so long to make a decision on something like this? Why not call today?!

You know, for COL/salary negotiations and all.

My parents bought their retirement home in the town 2 years ago and rent it out while they keep working. It's currently vacant! So we'd live there while deciding where we want to buy. It's a small town with super low real estate costs. It would be such a huge step forward for us financially! We'd be able to buy my dream house (old, Queen Anne or Craftsman), fix it up and have a 15 year mortgage. All of that without me working. And I want to work, so we'd have even more income!

Right!? He's an engineer. They are socially awkward and sometimes don't pick up on things :-)
