I think I got it.
I think I got it, I think I got it, I think I got it.

OK, so, I've been pretty sure I had it for a while, now. And, strictly speaking, I don't *know* I have it now any more than I knew, say, twenty minutes ago. But I got an email to the effect of:

Stuart in our Norfolk Branch wants to hire you for temporary employment. I will need additional information from you:
- resume
- your official undergraduate transcript, including GPA :
(if you have an unofficial copy you can email to me, but I'll need your official undergrad transcripts)
- confirmation from NPS that you are currently enrolled - pls have the NPS office fill out the attached form.
- your transcript to date from NPS (unofficial is OK)

Pls call me if you have questions. To confirm, Stuart says your start date can be as early as 10 July? and how long will you be working with Stuart? Also to confirm with you we do not pay for any housing or flying expenses from Monterey to Norfolk.

So... I think I got it!
I'm trying to not get over-excited about it, 'cause I hate the fall of disappointment, but as far as the eye can see there's really nothing else I want more right now.

Update: I just got an email reminding me that I haven't gotten an 'official' offer yet. Which I knew, but... grr, I wish they'd just give me a straight answer. Never mind that significant bits of my life rest in their hands, and they're dragging their feet... Bureaucratic BS... i'm getting sick of the yo-yoing.

you know, i hate the bureaucratic bs (i accidently typed "bureaucrazies." freudian slip?) it's unfair to you because you have to put everything on hold, and hold your breath, while you wait for them to get around to telling you anything. why they think they can take their sweet time is beyond me.
