People that were there before me.

During my sleep, I had a dream of getting a phone call from the recruiter, bearing good news.  I woke up multiple times throughout the night and morning realizing that I haven't gotten that call yet.  At around 9, Sean called me, bear the opposite news. I just took a long breath and accepted it. "They wanted to see a more deeper breath of knowledge," was the feedback he gave me. I have that knowledge, but I know I didn't express it yesterday.  That's just how it is with me and interviews. Out of all the interviews I've been through, this was the one I really wanted.  I've never been as nervous as I was yesterday, and the wait afterwards was the most unsettling.  Besides this opportunity being rare, it was also very hard trying to not let everyone down.  My current boss, old boss, colleagues, and principal all supported me.  All I can do now is to hope that the new hire will be a good one and I will support him/her with everything I know.

After the phone call ended, I got up and sat there for about ten minutes.  After thinking through everything, I walked over to the next room to find Taylor playing.  I walked up to him and gave him one of the biggest hugs he has ever received in his life, and gave him a long kiss on the cheek.

I am getting fucking tired.
