Thanks all! This is with the neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, etc.) group. It's only one of the top groups in the world! No pressure, right?

None whatsoever. I ain't worried.

Great news!

Bonus - they might know a bit about the dynamics under old boss and be able to recognize your integrity and ability to work with difficult people. You are a gem for them!

You will knock it out of the park!!!!!

Thanks again, all! Did I mention that this one came about because BGS recommended me to her new boss? Also didn't hurt to have a recommendation from a former church choir friend. Connections, connections, connections.

What is up with the interviews always being WEEKS away AD? Is that just a thing your world? My interviews happen in days - Aetna does a lot of phone interviews although you have to see the person once before you hire them (we use Skype a lot) . Time from contact to hire is < 3 weeks unless you are WAY up the food chain...as in "C" level (CIO CEO COO CFO M O U S E )

There are a few factors that come into play here. First off, they are creating a position for me and are still in the process of determining exactly what said position will be. Second, almost everyone in their department will be away next week at a fairly major conference. Third, things move at a seemingly glacial pace at my former place of employment. All this, combined with potential future boss' busy travel schedule, make for slow progress. In any event, from what I do know, I will be talking with everyone in their department who does any sort of work in my field. This sounds like what typically happens for a faculty position of some sort. All in all, I think this is somewhat normal for academia. Lavabe can chime in with his experience, as can any other academicians in da house.

When I told BGS that I had an interview there next month, she was excited. Apparently her boss asked the reason for the rush; she told him that if they didn't move quickly someone else would snatch me up.

I'm excited for you. Hugs to you and to BGS for the plug she gave.

I got a gernic for Heartgard Plus today from Costco. For brand at the vet it's about 70.00, the gernic at Costco door members is 25.00. The pharmacist said it's exactly the same. I'm happy.

What's a "gernic".

We're all still on alert. Sounds promising from what you're telling us. Do you have any fingernails left?
