Check, check... 1, 2, 1, 2
This and this and this all display varying degrees of my lack of patience. As if I needed to make it just a little more obvious...
It's only 9:28AM and I started checking my cell phone obsessively every few minutes around 7:30 just to make sure I haven't missed a phone call from HR at the company I hope will be making me an offer today.
I am pathetic.
At least I am aware of my own pathetic state. That might constitute progress on some level.
The previous sentence might constitute an utterly ridiculous attempt at justification.
Maybe.
**UPDATE**
I GOT THE OFFER. I got the call and the offer was superb, better than I'd hoped, actually. I've called my old NYC boss and told her about my resignation, but I haven't been able to get in touch with my current boss because she's been in meetings ever since she got online this morning. I'm making next Friday my last day and I'm not starting the new job until 6/2. That means I'll have a full week off between jobs. I've never done that before. I've always ended on a Friday and started the next gig on Monday. Not this time! This time I essentially gave myself a hefty raise, better benefits, and a week's vacay. I'm feeling pretty good right now.

I've done the time off between jobs thing and think that is the way to go. A week of doing things you enjoy is what you need to COMPLETELY forget the old place, and then go into the new one fresh and ready to start. Congrats!
