So I called the lab today, and they said they've already made a decision. They're just waiting for this other person to call back. Which means now the only way I'm getting this job is for this person and in front of me on the list turns it down. A month delayed while they got more people to apply, whole month preping for an interview, several months waiting for an agent to do a background check...all a waste.
Thanks to everyone for their support, The lab job will reopen for applications in the beginning of next year, and my substitute teacher application is in the mail, but right now I'm just going to enjoy a good sob.
God Bless,
Jackie
