LOL TVSG you are reminding me of my neurotic dating days. I went so far as to block numbers so they went straight through to vm so I couldn't even be allowed to be neurotic... checking to see if they called, etc. A couple weeks ago I interviewed for a job I thought I actually might want and it did remind of me of sitting around waiting for some guy to call. ROFL Oh the days.

Yeah the for the rest of this week only, I will be checking my voicemail every hour until 5pm and checking my mailbox to see if there is a rejection letter in there after 5pm. After this week I will just go back to having things the way they were.

I'm a recruiter. Often times when I get straight to voicemail, I don't leave messages.

Because if someone doesn't have their phone on, it's not worth me leaving a message.

Yeah I see what you mean which is why I will just turn the ringer off and not cut off the call waiting.

If you ask this many questions on the job, you're in trouble. People like to hire people who can think for themselves.

And that, TVguy, is probably why you keep failing on interviews. Perhaps you're making it obvious that you're going to ask a billion questions on the job.
