[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631602, member: 17309"] Okay...should probably say he most likely got the job. That is to say they told him he's going on the temp register and they are sending his resume' to the department (state government) that is hiring. I also work for the state and asked our senior clerk who does the hiring how that works. She said they usually just have temp agencies say, "we have this person we can send you" but some departments might want to see the resume to make sure the person has the skills they need and make sure it isn't someone they've had before that didn't work out. But she says it sounds like a done deal and he'll start the following week. Fingers crossed. We had an unpleasant morning. I ended up with two emails, much like yesterdays but shorter. Finally I responded and just basically said, "STOP IT! I know you are scared. Growing up and entering the workforce can be scary. But you'll get past it. You'll be fine. I'm going to get my hair done, text me when you are done." He called 4x while I was at lunch. Don't know what he wanted, because I missed the calls. But he didn't leave messages and I didn't call him because I figured he was in the interview and that he'd text, like I said. He called as I was leaving the hairdresser. He asked if he could take the car. I discussed it with my husband and we said, in light of the successful interview and just because the friend is probably moving, and under the condition that he NOT ask again until he gets his own gas money, he could go. This is a one time deal. Just the car, no cash, and no running all over creation...we WILL be checking the mileage. (He's only got 1/4 tank of gas anyway.) Then I went to happy hour with friends and my husband joined us. We had pizza, hubby drove me home since I just don't drink much and two at happy hour on top of two at lunch was enough to not be stupid when the car could be left parked. We're settled in and having a quiet evening. Here's hoping it remains that way...at least for today. Thank you ladies again for seeing me through this. [/QUOTE]
