Try, try again

Last Friday morning I called my contact at Agilent Technologies to see where I stood after three interviews with the company. I figured that the week I spent in Costa Rica plus the next few days I spent in South Lake Tahoe might give them enough time to make a decision, and apparently I was right.

"It's like the Miss America Pagent," Allen said, "but you came in second place. We decided to go with an internal candidate."

Pardon my dislexia, but maybe he was right. After all, given the chance, I'd definately go internal with a Miss America candidate.

Nevertheless, I now find myself with no irons in the fire. This could be a long haul. I'm just glad I'm not bored of unemployment yet.

I leave to Lake Tahoe again tomorrow afternoon after I have lunch with some former co-workers. The weather looks great for skiing Thursday and Friday.
