OT:update on my job quandry

this post is being shared between the wls grads and the over fifty forum--y'all were so great to kick me in the pants this morning!!!!!! i was so excited to hear such positives- yes; i guess i just was selling myself short--i know that i can do the job and i know where to go for backup and where our operations manual is!!!! soooooooooooooooo i applied to the position (it's done online) and the norm is to then receive a phone call from HR saying that the app was rec'd;followed w/in a day or so by the interviewer to schedule . well folks...today was very slow and boring so i checked back to see if they had posted the teller jobs--not only have they not done that but they pulled the team leader post a day early!!!!! and no phone call from HR.dunno if there are games being played or -am i feeling paranoid-"OH NO!!Margo applied-pull the posting!!!NO NOT HER!!!!!" so-----i will wait and see....patience is the virtue that i missed remember!!! i have worked thru some scenarios and i have mentally started my own checklist to prepare myself to slide into the position...how's that for positive? now-i do want to answer nancy's comment about the leave that i have taken--a very good point made; i was out on FMLA and it cannot be held against me-it did cause some scheduling issues -which luckily occurred when summer floats were available. i truly think that michael is on the mend or i would not consider such a move at work-he will require surgery in dec or jan to reattach and i plan to take some time -but my mother also can come to be with him - arrangements are made for fillins- i think that is a very valid point and i do not take it as shooting down my confidence or anything! so folks--i am waiting and wishing and hoping and thinking and praying--and --i still have MY job meantime.....and will keep watching the board at work! thanks for the support!!! it really means alot!!!!!

Hello sweet thang (and hello to your handsome hubby too!) So glad you took the initiative and FILLED out that application. The biggest obstacle in life, it seems, is our own doubts, fears and MINDS! There's nothing out there that you can't DO, accomplish, make happen, if you truly WANT it bad enough and if you'll just BELIEVE in yourself. The old saying? "If you think you can't -- you can't" ... just does NOT apply to that vibrant and positive personality of YOURS! Hope your hubby is doing well - getting healthier and stronger with each day! Hugs to the both of ya'z - Lei
