What is even happening?
Oh dear. What have you people done to Ailleann?
deb, all the best to you and Nic. I'm holding my breath, crossing my fingers, thinking good thoughts, and hoping for wonderful things for you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
My daughter just pinged me to pass on a book Daym thinks I ought to read: Luther Campbell's book documenting his days with 2 Live Crew. She says it's probably a bit hardcore (shocked! I tell you, I am SHOCKED!), but that he recced it for me as reading for the series.
That doesn't sound as if he hated the proposal.
Does it?
edit: and Daymond just rang up. Can we move it until tomorrow? Still slammed with work and last-minute meetings.
Yup. No prob.
I'll breathe again, when? Monday, maybe?

When will you know about Nic's interview result? IE, you should know by now, yes?

He still hasn't rung home to let me know. The first round were supposed to go 4.5 hours; they went 5.5 hours because everyone loved him and more people wanted to talk with him.
This one - so far as either of us knew - was going to be the one on one with the VP of marketing. It began at 1:30. It's now not quite five.
I am choosing to interpret this positively, as in, they showed him the facility and bought him lunch. Of course, that interpretation does mean that, if I'm wrong and the interview lasted eleven minutes and he just wandered off and is browsing a bookstore, I am going to beat him to death with one of my larger pieces of All-Clad stainless.
Gah. So much money on the line.
Must. BREATHE.

Will this be the one when they say "You're in"?

Nic's, you mean? That's what we both thought. But at this point, who knows? The ways of business are mysterious....
Seriously, they need someone muy pronto and he spent 2.5 years working for their direct competition, a few years back. Should be a slam dunk.
Damn it. He can RING ME UP NOW.

Dear Jo,
Mum's probably going to yawn a lot.

No jury of your peers would convict you.

Yes, and by the oddest coincidence, I'm listening to John Cipollina and Nick Gravenites and a few people including Who I Spent That Time With on Nice Piano, playing "I Did It For The Band". Already told Daymond, I am not shockable with sex. Cruelty, stupidity, malice, those can shock me. Sex? Puhleeeeeze.

He doesn't phone me soon, we may put that to the test.
Memo to my Haunted Ballads WIP readers: first third of Chapter One of N-SK going out shortly.
update: Nic just got home. VP of Marketing drove in from Napa to talk with him. 3.5 hours with the honchos. Apparently a Very Big Deal.
Now we wait. Looks to be 95% positive. Only thing even remotely likely to bump it would be a superman candidate who also worked for their competition for 2.5 years. Not likely, but I'll celebrate when it's an offer on paper.
Hoo boy.

Missed SO MUCH while I was in Arizona! It was 110 degrees there yesterday when I left, and in MO, it is about 80 and raining. I am so HAPPY to smell rain!
Deb, can't wait for updates on how everything is going!
Erika, congratulations! So cool!
BTW, Sail and -t....I was wondering if y'all ever got a chance to beta the stuff I sent you a couple of weeks ago? I haven't really written anything since then, since I have been out of town pretty much for the last solid week, but I am curious.
