This is absurd.
August 2010: job posted
October 2010: I applied for the job
October 2010: Started working in part-time temp position at workplace with job
December 2010: Originally when the job was to be filled
March 1 2011: My 1st interview
April 25 2011: My 2nd interview
May 12 2011: Meeting to decide on choice after references had been checked
Except they only got half way through the May 12th meeting and didn't make a decision. Then my boss (who's on the committee) left for a richly deserved, sorely needed trip to Europe for 10 days. She returned yesterday.
The meeting to decide was this afternoon.
She just went home sick.
To be fair, she looked *awful* and really needed to go home. It was the next meeting on her agenda. Looking at everyone's calenders between people's vacation days, Memorial Day, and meetings with very important people (you don't reschedule on the board chairperson, or the provost of the college) the earliest I could schedule the meeting is A WEEK FROM FRIDAY. That's in JUNE.
I'm trying really hard to find this darkly funny.
If they don't meet a week from Friday it will be delayed another couple weeks as my boss is leaving for a business trip.
If I don't find it funny then I might cry.
The super-tragic thing? I MIGHT NOT EVEN GET THE JOB. I love working here and I really want the job. Slight digression for perspective: at least I know why the delays are happening. It must really suck to be the other 3 finalists who have no idea why this process has taken nine months.
(I also learned some information today that suggests that my part-time temp job will probably end around the end of the summer so the clock is ticking on that.)
Also I have death-cramps. :(
