The weather here keeps bouncing between chilly and rain and way too hot. My body is freaking out with the inconsistency of it.
Hil, that's awful. I'm glad your family decided not to go there.

Normally, that's the *high*.

Not that there's anything to this whole "global climate change" concept.

“Not dead yet!”
Well crapdoodle. The job Lewis applied for in Austin has apparently been filled as the listing has disappeared off the jobsearch sites.
Fucking Tino.
I want OUT of Jacksonville.

They may have pulled it because they don't want any more applicants, not because it's filled.
I will add my own crapdoodle because the place that Tom interviewed with three weeks ago hasn't gotten back to him, the weasels.

“Not dead yet!”
Yes. Crapdoodle, Nora. That sucks. Especially since they interviewed him.
You know, that's the hardest thing for me too-- I have absolutely no concept of what's an acceptable length of time between, "Oh, they might still get in touch," and "I'm borked, they've filled the job and I'm a loser."
I mean, I work in publishing. Which has the strangest rules in terms of correspondence that I can think of. Example-- a friend of mine had her option book picked up by her publisher-- nearly EIGHTEEN MONTHS after submitting it. I'm still getting rejections to queries I sent out the first week of May, never mind that I've had an agent since the second week of June.
So with respect to the "regular" workforce and the process of application, I have no idea, so I have no way of reassuring Lewis that it's a normal amount of time that's elapsed. His last several jobs he's applied, interviewed, and been hired within a matter of days.
GAH.

Well crapdoodle. The job Lewis applied for in Austin has apparently been filled as the listing has disappeared off the jobsearch sites.I'm on board with, Lewis will be THE candidate, they are just putting it through the various departments before making the offer, and offering that-long-sentence-of-hope~ma that it will be so.
ION, Gronk!

Nora and Barb - crapdoodle, indeed.
When I've been in charge of searches, I've tried to keep people informed. This past search, our HR department kept telling me they'd send out letters to tell folks the job had been filled and I was forbidden to contact candidates for fear that I'd say/write something that would somehow make them think they were getting a job offer . . . but HR still hasn't sent the letters. So I contacted the current boss for each candidate we interviewed and didn't hire and got the news to them that way, because I'm sneaky like that and I pretty much hate the HR people here.

I don't think there such a thing as a normal amount of time. My first serious job, it took a long time. I got a rejection letter a few weeks before I got the job.

Fuck. I'm sorry, Barb. w/r/t reasonable amount of time - this current economy has everything so very out of whack. Who knows, really?
In small world news, lisah's guitarist from SCS also applied for that job. I'm pretty sure he didn't get it, though.
