It is so summer here in Texas. Got our first few 100-degree days in the forecast for later this week. It's times like these I envy my sister Laurie and her backyard pool -- I would live in it 24/7 if I could.
Good news on the work front: The second official meeting to announce when they were going to start sending more of us IRS tax examiners home was canceled. Just like the first one. I could be there for weeks more, or months. It's not that they're not telling us (though they aren't) -- I think it is that they don't know themselves. There's a lot going in on our department with upcoming changes in a lot of our policies and procedures, and the new training for all that could keep us all there for a while.
I also heard about the permanent full-time positions they were accepting applications for back in March, and I made the first cut and made the Best Qualified list. That's good, but not a lock. What happens next -- or when -- is just as big a mystery as it was in the three-month wait from application to this latest news. Stay tuned.
Had a few more people come look at the house this past couple of weeks, but no progress. I get the impression it's a lot of waiting around with no idea what's going on until the realtor calls one day with the news that we have an offer. Kind of like the job news, where you know nothing, you know nothing, you know less than nothing ... then bam! It happens.
When I get a bam!, I'll let you know.
