So I've made it through 2 hurdles for a potentially new position and was supposed to have a final phone call this morning, but it was just rescheduled to Monday morning. Would be the last step before an in-person interview should I get past it. Kind of let down because I was looking forward to it but all the same there's nothing negative about it; hiring manager has a meeting that backs up to mine and rather than risk her meeting running long and missing me she wanted to reschedule for the same time on Monday.

Just annoying that you'll now have this interview on your mind all weekend although I think maybe that's better for them to call and reschedule vs leaving you hanging and nervous not knowing why the interview is delayed.

Oh of course, I have no problem with them. In fact it's quite courteous and shows they value what they're doing enough to devote the proper time to it. It's my lack of delayed gratification that's getting me. Now instead of possibly already schedulign an in-person interview (assuming I even get that far) for next week, I still have to wait to have the phone call. I've already had two calls with recruiting. This one is with the manager who would be doing the hiring.

Gonna be epic.

Any word yet on who the mystery VIP performer will be?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Do they do that kind of thing every year?

Also, what is the "Prog Nation" Friday night?  Like a jam session or something?

No they don't normally do a surprise so I'm looking forward to it.  There's an after party where they have a band play and you get to hang with the bands.  I've never done it since i need the sleep. :lol  Nick and Mason went a few times.

I got the best bill in my email today (said no one ever)

So almost a full year ago I had solar panels put up on the roof of my house.  One, renewable energy, two, saving money, and three to stick it to my local power utility company who constantly raises prices and is currently trying to put up huge powerlines in my neighborhood. 

So it took about 8 months from the day they were installed to the day they were active and in use due to inspections and local codes and paperwork... but they finally got turned on in December.  It's taken a few months but slowly I've been seeing my power bill go down.  I think things have finally settled to where they should be now.  My power bill this month to the utility company was $2.98.  :metal :metal :metal

Every Saturday morning, Mrs. P has a conference call with her doctoral class mates and her dissertation coach where they sit around and psyche each other up for the coming week.

I just read DTF and stay out of the way. :)
