I just got a call from the guy who interviewed me last week, and they're extending me an offer. They want me to start MONDAY--eek. The hours are long and it's a long-ass drive, so I need to think about it a bit. The pay isn't as high as I'd like, but it has great advancement potential both in terms of position and pay.
I'm pretty excited--and in shock. This is the first resume I've sent out in years... I've been an at-home mom for awhile. He said that they are hiring 4 people out of 350 resumes they got.
So, even though I haven't made my final decision... DRINKS ON ME!!!!

Couldn't happen to a nicer at-home mom!
Now, ask for the names of the other 346 they didn't hire, and drive by their homes at odd hours of the morning, cackling wildly! :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Congratulations! Even if you decide not to take it, being offered the job is a hell of a thing!
(though if you think the drive is long, etc., you can always take the job, and then once there, start looking for another one - that'll increase your odds of being hired, if you already have a job).
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!
And I feel like I should buy YOU a drink! But I'll accept yours, sicne I'm unemployed (though wilfully, not terribly). :-)

Put 'em through the ringer. Make sure these are really people you want to be working for.
Congratulations on the offer!

I got an offer and aside from you wonderful people :loveya: , I can't get a damn person to be excited for me. Granted, I've only tried two: my husband, who just said "uh-huh, I'll be home at 7", and my Mom, who is now trying to pull a major guilt trip on me. Crap, I don't need this.

19. Tell your mother and your husband... |

to SUCK YOUR ASS!
If they can't be excited for you then hit them on the head with a frying pan. I'll even hold them down for you.
Congratulations! :party: :yourock:

21. They're happy for you |

It's just that all of a sudden their view of you has been altered.
Give them a little time to adjust to SuperMom who also brings home a little bacon.
That's what SuperMoms do: understand everyone else's insecurities.
We're your secret ego-building weapon. Don't let anyone know.
And if this doesn't make you feel better, then do what Darth Velma said...

28. Well, you can give it a shot and if it doesn't work out and the worry is |
|
too great you can always go back. Maybe if you got a cell phone (or a beeper if the company doesn't allow phone calls) the kids could get a hold of you. My friend (PassingFair, the one I was saying to pick the brain of the other day ;) ) did this and it helps...a little. Her kids still have a hard time and when she comes home she is "mama marsupial" with them clinging to her quite ferociously and fighting over her. I really and truly hope it all works out.

Remember, you can always keep looking....but you don't always have a job in hand.

23. in all fairness to TXLib, |

he says he just didn't hear me when we were on the phone earlier and I told him the news. He's excited for me... it's just my mom who's being a drag. Guess she wants a nice little stay-at-home daughter who can bring her grandkids up whenever. :shrug:
