And now I wait...

I got a call from the recruiter saying he didn't have good news or bad news, but he did have news and to call him. Uh, ok. He sent me an e-mail that said they're basically going to hold off for now on hiring, for two reasons. #1, they're heading into the busy season and want to wait to hire me so they can train me properly. #2, they're interviewing two other candidates and they want to wait for those to be finished (uh, thanks for making me feel like sloppy seconds or something). My recruiter said he's fairly confident they'll hire me. I just hate waiting around.

My team lead sent me an IM today... here's the convo:

{team lead}:
question that I need an honest answer about
are you still looking to leave soon?

April:
it's up in the air... probably not... {boss's name} made me feel a lot better about everything

{team lead}:

April :

{team lead}:
just need to know in assigning task for the team

April:
k

{team lead}:
we may be changing some things around slightly next week and I need to know who has more "longer term" goals

What a moron. I can't believe he really felt that he could ask for an honest answer after he was the one who likely put my job on the line after I had already given him an honest answer. So screw him. Yes, I'm still leaving, and no, I sure as hell won't tell him that. I learned my lesson already.

Jaiden scared the HELL out of me last night. He must have heard something outside, and went to investigate by looking out the front window. This was like 2:00 in the morning, and I was sound asleep. I woke up to hear him barking his idiot head off, and he scared the crap out of me. He has a certain kind of bark when someone he doesn't recognize comes into "his home"--it's more like howling, actually. And he was doing that last night. I seriously thought someone was in the apartment--he was going crazy. So I got up and saw him looking out the window... who knows what he saw. I didn't look. I know the front window is fascinating and all, but geez. Let me sleep, dammit.
