Waiting......

I feel like I am in high school again waiting for that boy to call.  Sitting with the phone on my lap, taking the phone everywhere with me (even the bathroom), getting butterflies in my stomach every time the phone rings (only to have it be a telemarketer).   I had an interview yesterday for a long term teaching job that I really really really really really want, and they said they would call today or Monday. 

So here I sit, waiting for the phone to ring, trying to keep my thoughts in check and my brain from not blowing up from anticipation.  Here was a conversation I had with myself this morning, all in the span of 2 minutes;

"Well it is 9:30 and they haven't called so I must not have got the job. "

"They are in the office at 9 and they would have had their mind made up by then so that must mean that it wasn't me." 

"But maybe they are calling those not successful first and then those who got the job so maybe that means that I got the job."  

"Well what happens if I don't get a call today, they did say it could be Monday, so maybe there is still a chance."  

On and on the conversation went.   And then I realized that I didn't ask if they were going to call everyone, successful and not.  So a new conversation started. 

Oh the waiting is not fun........

The journey continues.......
