If offered both, I would pick Property over Warrants mostly because the diversity of tasks and communication with people rather than data entry of paperwork. Just happy the interviews are behind me and I can stop worrying about them and how I will do. Now I have to wait for a call.
    Good luck! The waiting part isn't the easiest thing either.

    That's right! Massachusetts also had several Republican governors.

    My cousin used to do an annual Christmas "Political Harmony" piece that was always fun. Here is the one she did with Charlie Baker, among others, in 2022.

    My rave is about Vermont's governor. It says a lot when you can be so popular that no one wants to run against you. It's especially amazing that Phil Scott is a Republican in a deeply blue, progressive leaning state. Bernie and Phil are about equally popular with the voters. Who says you can't bridge political divides?

    Catherine I think that is something to rave about. It’s very nice.

    I don’t mind the waiting so much as the worry that I will get offered the job I don't want as much first. Will need to stall in hopes the one I do want more calls a day or two later. Not sure what to say to them make that happen.

    That was cute, Catherine.

    Klunick: If that happens, maybe say thanks and you will get back them, and then call your first choice and tell them if they want you, they need to make an offer NOW.

    The two are at the same place so I am hoping HR is the one who calls so I can ask them if I also got the other one. If they say they haven't decided, I will tell them I would like to wait a couple days and see what happens with the second one before I make a decision.

    Ended up not having to wait very long. A week after my first interview, they called to say I got the job. Out of the two, it wasn't the one I was hoping for but it's ok. Just happy to finally have a job closer to home and leave the incompetent idiots I work with behind. Probably won't start until sometime next month because I have to go through a background check and put in my two weeks notice at current job.
