Pam... the suspense is killing me!
The interview went swimmingly well so it seemed. He met with the interviewer, spoke with her for well over 45 minutes....then she brought down the supervisor for the day shift transporters who took him on a tour of the facility and kind of did an impromptu interview while they were walking and talking. He was told he would hear back in about a week.
Today, unfortunately, he got an email saying he was not being considered for the job.
The mood in my house is not pleasant. He is pretty beat up about this...I think he was really looking forward to this opportunity - and the job sounded like he would really like it as a stepping stone from what he told me after the interview.
Brian tends to shut down when stuff like this happens - and that's what he is doing now. I hope it doesn't go to far.
I am crushed for him and feel helpless myself...because there's absolutely nothing I can do to make him feel better. When I'm upset I tend to want to be cuddled and loved....and he likes to be left alone. So I am trying my best to do just that. I spent a good 1/2 hour just talking to him....telling him all good things about him...telling him how this economy sucks and he did everything right (which he DID do everything right) and then I said "what else can I do?" and he looked at me, kissed me, and said "just let me be"
So here I sit.....

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
PAm - so sorry to hear this :( I am sure tha the isn't taking it well - if I can do anything for either of you you know where to get me. I hope that he was passed by for this because a bigger and better opportunity is just around the corner!
Chris and I are the same way - It is so hard for me to let him stew it out on his own - because i am the total opposite, I need to cry, get hugged, and need someone to just listen to me ramble. He wants to be mad and alone and not talk about anything - I totally feel for you

Sorry to hear the job didn't work out.
I have the same issues here. My DH is without a job right now and he gets the same way when things don't work out. He does not want to be bothered and I can't help but ask a million questions because that is what I would want him to do if it was me. It's so hard to just leave them be.
I'm sure something will come along for him. I'll keep everything crossed until another opportunity comes along for him.
