What a day...

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.

Any time, Brother! I only did what I know you would do for me! You were there for 90 minutes and you completely got the feel for why I love it there! Plus, you got to come down and see me shit on George about kissing another driver and you actually met Alex even though I was too rude to introduce you to him. Oh well, hopefully soon we will have plenty of time for introductions! I ran into Jim up to the other building yesterday and he said your interview went really well and Bryant also said that the interview went well! Keeping my fingers crossed and I will let you know as soon as I hear anything!
