Went awesome!  Perfect really.
He said he'll be in touch next week, that he has "a handful" of other "video interviews" to do.  It was 30 min.
I'm not getting excited yet but I'm optimistic.

You know what's interesting?  I'm not even sure I want to do this job (although there are a zillion things that sound promising).  But really "going for it" has given me the courage to go for it in my current organization.  There's a potential new role in my company (would be newly created) that I would be perfect for.  

Our dept VP and I discussed the possibility at a very very high level.  He agreed I'd be a good choice for the role.  And it would get me out from under a boss that is terrible.  And our company needs someone to take on this role SO bad.  It's a huge hole in our org and my background uniquely positions me for it.

And my success at going for it with this job has me thinking about how I can move that conversation forward.

I have an unrelated meeting with that VP tomorrow so I'm thinking about my next move because I want to see if there is potential there before I consider leaving.

ETA:  and you know that only thing holding me back from moving that conversation forward?  FEAR
And I was definitely nervous about sending that message to the CEO.  The one that I now have a job interview with!

You go girl!

update to the update to the update in OP

[daisyn]

This would be such a huge change for me but I think it would be good.

It's definitely scary though. Being a single mom I'm a bit "risk adverse"
But hey, no decisions need to be made today, need to sit back and just wait to hear something.

ETA:  I've been at my current company for almost 5 years so change is hard but I've posted some of my challenges before.  I think it might be time.  We'll see.

Thanks to everyone truly for the support and encouragement.  It's nice to have.
