Did not get the job. I am disappointed, don't get me wrong, because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I could have excelled at it if given a chance, but the interviewers did not agree. But to be 100% honest, I have some difficulties with who would have been my manager in that role and so I may have dodged a bullet. I don't think, upon consideration, that she and I would have meshed well. Nearly everyone I work with has confided in me that they have the same concerns about that person, so I don't think it's me making up excuses.
C'est la vie. I'll keep on where I am, and if something else externally ever catches my fancy I'll apply. The problem with working at a union shop, though, is the pay rate is quite above average for the area and our benefits package is decent. So, the odds of finding anything remotely comparable in both of those things is slim to none. And I do like what I do, it's just there are some upcoming changes that I do not anticipate will roll out well.
Also, we now have numerous staff members with small children and we've had multiple colds run through. Now? Now it's conjunctivitis. Germ factories. Ugh. If I get the pink eye, I will be PISSED.
