X-posted from Natter, because I initially asked for thank you note advice (email or handwritten) there:
Sent 11 emails out individually. Already received responses from three: Chief HR Officer, Vice President, and President of the company. VP said "[I] believe there are opportunities that you can bring your passion and expertise for our mutual benefit. I’m sure you will be hearing from T shortly with a possible next step." CHRO said they'll be in touch early next week.
I think this is a good sign? Oh please, please let it be a good sign.
Woot! And I just heard back from my former coworker who recruited me (who is their VP of Sales and Marketing and would be my boss). I did good. He's gotten positive feedback so far, and he'll get back to me early next week.
OMG, I might be able to breathe.
Thank you all for the advice and support!
You know, I'm way more excited about this potential job--with its increased responsibilities and expectations--as I ever was about the job I'm currently in. That says something.
I am trying soooo hard not to be bounce, bounce, bouncy in the office right now. Ridic. I have no clue how I'm going to make it through this weekend, because I want to know now, damnit.
How is the lovely Fay?
As darling as ever, and having fun visiting her mum during the summer holidays. I again tried to convince her that she should look for a teaching position in Seattle.
The David Bowie exhibit at the V&A was a religious experience for me. There is no hyperbole in that statement. I nearly burst into tears when I saw the original handwritten lyrics to
Rock n' Roll Suicide
(possibly my favorite Bowie song ever), and when I saw the cane and crystal ball props from
Labyrinth,
displayed with a letter from Jim Henson to Bowie.
Those all sound like good signs, Maria!! I'm happy for you.
Hellooooooooo Jilliiiiiiiiiii.
P-C! Did you bring me back Gerard Way from SDCC?
I don't even know if he was there! He didn't have a panel or a signing this year that I know of. I did see Becky Cloonan on a panel, though. Are you reading
Killjoys
? I read the first issue and was very...confused. Not sure if I'll be following it. I want more
Umbrella Academy
instead.
I haven't picked up our
Killjoys
issues from the comic shop yet. (There was no time before we took off on holiday.) I just assumed he was there, but he may not have been.
The tales from the
Hannibal
panel are hilarious.
Welcome back Jilli! Sounds like you had fun and more...
Oh, Maria, that's AWESOME!
Apologies in advance if anyone here has this many quotes in their email sig, but I had to come here to vent. There's a guy I know, a director I have worked with in occasion. He's just one of those people who are so irritating everything they do starts to bug you.
But THIRTEEN INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES IN YOUR EMAIL SIG????? Jeebus, dude, get a frigging grip!!!! I've read novels shorter than your sig.
Also, hi! Work kind of ate my face this month, but now I'm on a train to Irvine to attend my uncle's wedding and see family.
