Despite my excitement yesterday, I did manage to hop on a webinar and work for the rest of the
day. I checked my phone once in a
while but CP didn’t respond until after he left the building. He said that he thought it went well, but it
was nice to hear from our “insider” that he did well and impressed people. A couple hours after he left the building for
the airport, he got a text from our “insider” that said that he should be
getting an offer. We are not sure if she
just thinks that he is getting an offer because he did so well OR if she
overheard managers saying it.
The only thing that
would hold us back from taking the job would be the salary. CP was asked how much he currently makes in
one of the interviews, so we are a little worried that they are going to
lowball the offer. CP works for a
tremendously small company (11 people) so his salary should be bigger at a big
company. The headhunter will negotiate
the best salary for CP, but frankly, it has to be a lot more than his current
salary for us to pick up and move for this job.
And now we wait. The guy that would be CP’s boss is on
vacation all next week so it’s possible that we won’t hear anything until at
least the week of the 28th.
So I guess this is very similar to our monthly TWW. Gah. At least we are pros at that!
Random Friday question:
Why are bloggers/people on Pinterest so in love with
moustaches? You know, the people that think
it hilarious to get a tattoo on their second finger so that they can hold it up to their face, moustache mugs, moustache necklaces, etc. Did I miss something? Because last I
checked there are many women out there that wax their upper lip to get rid of
their moustache. Can someone enlighten
me? I DON’T GET IT.

Fingers crossed that he gets the offer, and it's a salary increase that makes it work. :-)
As to the mustache thing, I just don't get it. Never had. But then, I've never been a cool kid, so maybe my opinion doesn't mean much.
Good luck! We are also in a waiting period of sorts with my husband's job, although it doesn't also hinge on us moving and me changing jobs so I am only experiencing a wee slice of what you are going through.
I hope he gets it PLUS a ridiculously cushy salary!
Sending good thoughts your way! Hopefully you hear something sooner rather than later.
I don't get the mustache thing, either. I guess it's just kind of a silly thing, but it has gotten SO OLD and is not original at all anymore. Sick of it!
Congrats on the offer!
I think mustaches are ridiculous and that's why they're trendy. They're just silly things, maybe, and the internet loves to latch on to silly things.
