[QUOTE="witzend, post: 497964, member: 99"] Thanks, all. :) husband is [I]indeed [/I]a real treasure. He had his second skype interview with this company this morning. It sounds as though it went very well. He had a phone interview Monday, a "technical interview" Wednesday, and they wanted to interview him yesterday but he had an early morning Rotary meeting so they waited until today. I would [I]so[/I] love for him to go to this place. It's like a "Google" of "Facebook" type atmosphere, where dogs are allowed on Fridays, most every day is casual day, no cubicles, stand-up desks if you want them, on site gym, and daily nerf gun fights. Mandy could go with him and run the treadmill and maybe husband'd actually get on one too! They're a small company immediately hiring on several hundred because of gvt contracts, and looking to about a thousand. I've been looking at houses and there are some very nice ones. Health Insurance is Blue Cross and they pay 100%. For some reason, he was expecting today to be the "real technical" interview, because the Wednesday Skype almost seemed too easy. But when the time came it was the "touchy feely" interview. They seem ok with the idea that we're ready to move on. He's told them that our children are grown and gone - can't get [I]much [/I]more truthful than that without sounding insane - and explained about last year's 93 straight days of rain, and summer only lasting from July 27 to August 6th, and the 220 consecutive cloudy days. I [I]really [/I]like what I see of this company and hope that I haven't gotten my hopes up too high. But, he also has an interview next week for a permanent position in Dallas at [U][I]very[/I][/U] good money - I'm not as thrilled about Dallas - and a call came in from Las Vegas while he was on his Skype interview today. So, we'll see. I think that the Carolinas sound more like the landscape that we're used to than desert-y Dallas or Vegas, but it's early days. Keep your fingers crossed for us! [/QUOTE]
