No impact on plans for this weekend. I'll still be at Brunchgate!

Whew! Was worried (but thrilled for you) for a minute there. Oh, gotta call it fka Brunchgate, since we dropped the tent name this year in favor of True Blue 'Cue Crew ;) "Brunchgate" was so much easier when referring to the event...

Way to go, AD. Proving once again that it isn't always what you know but who you know.

Just finished with Phone Interview #1. Phone interview #2 could very well be happening tomorrow. This is going down FAST. An on-site interview in Boston would be the next step.
Wouldn't it be wild if I had an offer by the time I came back from vacation?

That would be great! I take it that the 2nd interview would occur while you were driving (perhaps on a bluetooth device)? Or would you stop somewhere to be able to fully concentrate while talking?

I would need to pull over, for sure. My Garmin has Bluetooth capabilities, but I would like to devote my full attention to the interview.

Good decision. Love my Garmin, but hate using the Bluetooth phone part, so I don't. My new Sonata has built in Bluetooth and that I absolutely love using! The mic and speaker are right over my head (instead of being on the windshield) so the clarity is amazing. I no longer feel like I have to shout when I'm talking hands free, and I don't "lean forward" to be closer to the mic, even though that probably didn't make any difference at all. Only problem I have found is I haven't figured out how to handle the call waiting on it yet - I've disconnected calls twice now. Pilot error, I'm sure. Must be the other button I should push to switch calls...

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

It will also show your concern for safety. And, the level of importance you place on the call.

Is the hiring manager from "Company B" a "boogie woogie bugle boy?"

Take the protective covering off the lens, err, microphone. Much
clearer then.
