National Poetry Month: Subscribe to Poets.org and never miss a poem. Himself: Swam. Looked just perfect for this last interview. Took me to the doctor’s office. Herself: Dozed, docs, and home to doze some more. Reading: Randall’s “Too Many Magicians.” |
All of which came from a really good third interview where they even discussed money. But the company feels they must wait till July 1 before hiring him, and would he be willing to wait the two months. He said he would. Now it all boils down to: are they willing to wait two months until they can hire him. He is the perfect fit….they all agree. “A car guy,” one man called him, and he is.
Meanwhile, I was curled up with a book, curled up here, dozing there. All those joyous bits you do when invaded by a virus. The doc was kind but firm…I have to use my inhaler four times a day, and she gave me a breathing treatment there in the office. I was 98 before, I was 98 after using that little thing that goes on your finger, but she was pleased that I wheezed less after.
Now I have a saddened brain that there is no decision on G’s job, and I have a new antibiotic, more sprays, new cough pills, and a determination not to let this latest bug get me down.
I had this kind of delay with my last job. Interviewed in early December, hiring would be end of January. Not much choice (I was 63 at the time). Of course, I waited. It all worked out very well; better than I could have possibly anticipated. G, I wish you the same outcome.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending good thoughts for G and this job.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you have to work at being a good patient. Try very, very hard to be compliant. Rest is a good thing when you're sick.
Yes, G feels very positive, and I am resting. The pharmacist stressed getting enough rest.
ReplyDeleteMay all work out well. July isn't really that far away. My interview on Monday would be for a job that starts in August. All doable, as long as it does come about. The worse is not knowing whether anything come up in between. Get well, dear.
ReplyDeleteOh, Maggie, I do hope you feel better soon, and I hope G gets the job.
ReplyDeleteYou both deserve a bit of good luck.....
I hope it all turns out good and your wheezes disappear. I really believe in mind over matter and am presently ignoring a painful hip. With difficulty:)
