last week I spent in class and taking a very important and hard test. Now I have to wait on the results. Positive results mean a promotion and raise. Negative results mean I screwed the pooch and have to pay out of pocket for round 2. 

I hate waiting.

Fingers crossed for you as well. Good luck!!

 

I'm in the same boat...Did 3 rounds of interviews and they want someone soon. It's a job in the place I want to be at a nice salary increase.

I do too. Not to sound arrogant, but I'm pretty sure I passed. I just hate that nagging "what if" in the back of my head making me second guess it. But I did have a chinese fortune cookie that stated "Luck will visit you the next new moon" two weeks ago..... that is Thursday. 

I find myself hitting F5 on the stle website almost every hour.

Now I have "the waiaiaiting is the hardest part" stuck in my head on repeat. So thanks for that. 

Good luck!

yes! I love getting obscure old songs stuck in people's heads. I got the lucky charms "magically delicious" stuck in my coworkers head earlier. In all fairness, she gave it to me first but I shared.

You'll be fine.

But I'm slightly miffed you've looped us into this waiting crap.

why do you think that?  is this a case of runaway pessimism ie no news is bad news?

In reply to AngryCorvair :

So yes and no. There were 1256 CLS in the world on Monday. Now there are 1261, and my name is not among them. I am not seeing anyone from our class though, so maybe it is early pessimism from the absolute lack of information.

This kind of CLS?  Does this test get you a new car?

This is like waiting for that really cute girl in class to call you back.  I find whiskey helps so I'll pour one now.

You guys have to back me up when SWMBO asks why I'm drinking whiskey alone in the garage on a school night.
