***UPDATE***

It’s over. We’ll see who wins.

It went about like I thought it would. Basic questions. It was odd being interviewed by my boss and by my big boss. They were all formal and stuff.

***UPDATE***

Well, here I go. I will let you know how it goes.

So I am sitting here in my office waiting.

Waiting for what you ask.

Waiting to be called in for an interview.

See, one of the Division heads here in our department got promoted to Assistant City Manager. That was like 8 months ago or something. Anyway, they re-assigned his duties and spread the work load out among existing employees. The fact is, he hasn’t been terribly missed. Not because he was an ass or anything, just that his duties seemed to be assimilated very easily. I hope that never happens to me. I hope when/if I ever leave that my co-workers and boss will be like, “Man, how did he do so much. We are going to have to hire two people to take his place!”

*cough*

Anyway, so here I am. Sitting in my office typing a post, waiting.

My wife asked if I was nervous about the interview. Nah, not really. I tend to be pretty good at interviews, but now that I am sitting here waiting, my stomach is in knots.

There are 4 of us going for the position. Three of us with the City and one from outside the City. As luck would have it, I am to be the last one interviewed. Some have said this is a mere formality, that I am the “Golden Boy”, that my promotion is assured. It always makes me uncomfortable to hear such talk. I hope the process is fair and unbiased. I know that the other two in our department are good guys. One is more qualified than the other and I am more qualified than both in some areas, while they bury me in other areas.

We shall see.
