Today they called my references →[More:]Can't remember what number ulcer I am on.

One of my colleagues resigned from the seventh circle of hell.

I can't concentrate on anything.

Quote the reference:

I had a long and glowing talk with the woman who will be your boss in the next minute or two.

Hip hip hooray!

That was four hours ago. Man, I've done lost my mind.

aaarg! That same thing happened to me with my last job. She waited until the next day after she called my references for some reason and it damn near killed me.

Anyone know what sciurus' job situation is these days? I know he was actively looking a couple months ago, but I don't remember the follow up.

Good luck, Lola!

HR makes the reference calls. Job offer usually comes from new boss. HR will get the info to potential new boss, who will call you soon. [thinking positive thoughts]
