Two interviews today. The first interview is the final round at one company and I’ll be meeting with the CEO! Yipes!
The second interview is actually a “meet and greet” with a person from the company that’s buying my current company. There’s a very slim chance, according to my manager that they could hire some of our HR people.
Amidst all this interviewing, I could not bring myself to wear my suit jacket. The jacket is so confining like a straight jacket and it’s just so darn professional looking too. Speculation says the acquisition of my company will take place on Friday. Knots and nerves are tangling my stomach causing me to feel a lump in my throat knowing that today could potentially be my last Monday as an employee of this company. For any of you that have ever gone through an acquisition may sympathize with me. The uncertainty, the constant moving of deadlines, the spikes in unusual business activity and then the lull of having nothing to do. It’s all very strange. It’s been a rocky road of watching co-workers move on – forced because they have a family to support.
In reality, my jacket is hanging in my closet as a protest. I don’t really want to interview today. I don’t want a new job. I’m happy where I am. I love my keyboard and my monitor. Why does life have to be so unfair at times?
