Get 2 It!

Dropping off the "Papers"...
I wanted to do the face to face thing after having talked on the phone.
As I rolled into the yard for my Four O'clock "Meet-n-Greet" I see Rick with a fist full of Paperwork so I BS for a few and he does the whole "Walk me in so I don't look like the Freak That is Lost" thing.
Now to be honest... I thought that I was just stopping in to meet with Jim and Give him my Resume...

However...
Turns out... I got my interview... pretty much... right then! I was in there for an Hour and fifteen Minutes.
I swear I think I met and interviewed with Damn near half the Company... Just shy of the President himself. ;0)
But the funny thing is... it didn't really feel like an interview while STILL feeling like an interview... if that makes any sense.
All of the people that I talked with seemed like really great people.
Down to earth, no BS kinda people.
I felt comfortable in answering the questions and those that I didn't have the skills for I told them up front but let them know where I had similar experience and that if I got the job I would be attached to the manuals and training material until I was the resident expert at it. Most of the stuff that I didn't have experience with Was software specific to the Trucking industry so I just haven't had the experience with it. I understand the basic principles and can easily see where I can get a handle on it once I get a chance to get under the hood.

A nice change...
I haven't been this Happy in a very long while.
I Can't wait to hear one way or the other.
I really have to say it seems like a great place... and I really can see me working there and getting into a groove there.

I'll Leave you with This...
I will say this... No matter the way this turns out... I have to say a tremendous Thank you to Rick.
During the interview I think I got it across that the one thing that really got me interested was how Highly Rick spoke of the company. I wanna work at a place that has that family feel to it... and not to sound hokey or anything but with a five man shop for  computer support that is the kind of group it sounds like they have... and the company as a whole seems to operate around that principle as well.

I am Crossing my fingers.

That is all for now I guess.
