Well, it's all over but the waiting - and that's really not something I'm good at. Again, since I'm technically still under review as far as this potential job is concerned I won't be getting into any details. I'm sorry to keep so secret like this, but the wait is almost over. I'm supposed to hear back from the school in the next 2-3 days. Such a short time but it's dragging on for me.......
I will tell you a bit more about things that have been going on around the lab. Our technician interviewed for two different positions over the course of April and after her excruciating waiting period found out yesterday that she was the first choice for both. When it rains it pours, right? She had already done quite a bit of thinking about where she'd feel the best if she found herself with this choice and so yesterday was actually pretty easy for her. She'll be staying within our department in the lab of a relatively new PI. She's incredibly relieved about having a job, but now she's getting a bit nervous about the upcoming change.
Her first day is actually going to be on June 1st. That's 2 weeks earlier than she technically had to leave our lab and so we have just one month left with J. I makes me sad that she'll be gone a bit earlier than we thought, but at the same time I'll have just two weeks left at that point. Our boss had been encouraging her to find a job and to feel free to take it as soon as she could - that she should not feel obliged to stay here until the literal last day of employment. However, when that became a reality yesterday it was pretty obvious that he's not having an easy time as the end of J's job in the lab gets nearer and is now much more real than it was even two days ago. Hopefully this last month won't become too emotional and awkward.......I'm usually ok with somewhat depressing situations unless I see other people become emotional.....then it's a different story.
(Speaking of emotional.........ask me what I thought of the new Disney movie, "Earth.")
That's all for now. Hopefully a job update one way or the other before too long.
