Just in case you have some random thought and feel like starting a thread over it, you can just bump this one.

Three different companies are interviewing me right now for open positions. I will call them Jobs A, B, and C, ordered by how much I want to work for them. Due to the sensitivity of the matter, and some personal circumstances, I don't really have a lot of people I can talk to about this but it's all up inside me right now so I'm just going to unload here.

Job A is a job I've been pursuing for quite some time, B and C have kind of fallen into my lap but each present solid opportunities in their own right. I'd take any of the three if offered, but I do have a distinct ordering of which one I'd take over which.

What they've done, however, is making working at Job D very difficult right now, as they're all calling to schedule interviews, conducting interviews with me, and then rescheduling follow up interviews.

About three weeks ago, Job C interviewed me for about 20 minutes through an intermediary. They said they'd stay in touch.

Last week, Job A interviewed me by phone for about half an hour. They contacted me a day later asking if I'd schedule a 2nd.

The 2nd was yesterday. Job A interviewed me again for a whole hour, at 8:30am, by webcam. Job B interviewed me, over the phone, at 2:00pm.

Job C reached out to me at noon yesterday to schedule an in-person interview for today. Job A also reached back to me yesterday by 2:30 to set up a 3rd interview (awesome). Job B reached back to me a little later to set up a 2nd interview for today as well.

This was all while I was trying to handle my shit at Job D. So I called in to Job D today, told them I was battling with exhaustion and that I'm not working today.

This allowed me to attend two interviews. Job C interviewed me at 8:00am for about 45 minutes in front of a ****ing panel of three people. God. Job B interviewed me just now, at 11:00am, for an hour in-person. My 3rd interview with Job A is being scheduled as we speak.

My guess:

I've got a 99% chance at Job C, an 80% chance at Job B (which could get complicated as it asks for 25-50% travel, which my lady might scoff at), and a 75% chance at Job A.

I was just contacted today by Job C, telling me that there would be a 3rd interview on the horizon, and I am still waiting to hear back on my interview time for Job A. Meanwhile, a friend I have at Job B told me it's down to me and one other person, so I would suspect a 3rd interview with Job B is on the horizon there, as well.

Thank the lord I called in to Job D today. I am exhausted.

It's a good problem to have, but it is exhausting.

Good luck & hope you land the job that best fits your needs.

Will be here at ANZ Stadium for Australia vs Iraq tomorrow. It has about 85,000 seats, so yeah, it's a fairly large scale stadium.

Needless to say I'll have my Socceroos gear on. Might decide to wear a flag aswell.

I had a guy come into our facility a few weeks ago. He had had a tumor removed from his left frontal/temporal lobe which had impacted his language center of his brain (housed in left temporal region). He was unable to speak one intelligible word but was able to write 1-2 words in order to communicate. We worked an hour each day for 2 weeks before he was sent home. On his final day, with a bit of struggle but very clearly he said, "you are a good guy," and "you helped me to converse again!" He started to cry and gave me a huge hug. He will need a lot more therapy to get his speech all the way back, and likely it won't ever fully get back. But he was one of the most motivated and inspirational patients I have ever seen. It was a great moment and I will never forget him.

As if Stephanie Abrams, Kyla Grogan, Jen Carbundle of sticksno, and Maria Larosa weren't reason enough, the Weather Channel has now added blonde young cutie Alex Wilson. Never before has the weather made me want to spank the monkey this much.

What kind of shoulder surgery? I had my rotator cuff repaired 2 years ago and it has never been the same since.

I don't want to hear your kids cry or anything. I don't have any.

Wow. What an awesome experience for you both!
