April/May
I'm sitting on pins and needles right now. I'm typing this post but not publishing
it until I get the final word.
I have applied for a Systems Administrator position at the University of Hawaii.
Its been several weeks now. I made it thru Round 1 and Round 2 of
interviews. I was one of 3 final candidates. They finished the last candidate
interview. Now its all about the waiting.
Stephanie and I have done a great deal of prep for this if its a yes.
This adventure will not only be a huge undertaking, but a great
lifestyle change for our family as well. All for the better.
If its a yes, I will have two weeks with my current employer to wrap things
up. Not only that, I have to find an initial place to stay and get my flights
ironed out.
Its been hard keeping the kids hush hush about all of this.
They know whats going on, but I'm not sure how well the little ones are keeping the
cat in the bag at school. Z is a tween and is like, but I will miss all my friends.
I know its going to be hard for her being the new kid in a new school.
The answer from the U of H was No.
=====================================================
June Update: It turned from a No to YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm confused now. lol
We were at Sights and Sounds the other evening.
The kids all wanted to toss a penny into the fountain in the square.
I said a prayer and we all tossed one in.
All I can say now is WOW!
Their first candidate turned down the position. What? Really?
I got a phone call yesterday morning asking if I was still interested?
Are you kidding me? YEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Back to waiting again.
I'm waiting for the official offer from the school in my hand.
It may take 3-4 weeks as their HR takes a bit to move things along.
The official offer is the key for the moment.
A firestorm of posts to follow once their offer is in my hands.
