So I Finally Popped the Question

Soooooooooo...

I just asked Stephanie where the Partnership is in the process of hiring someone fulltime for my position and she told me, hesitantly, like I had just put her on the spot, that it was up to Arnold now whether or not I would get it.

I have tried not expect that I would get this position, but it's been hard not to with all the support from the co-workers.

It feels like failure from where I'm sitting. He has a second interview with a candidate on Monday. She's my strongest competitor (unless, of course, I have over-estimated my value here and am completely out of the running). I don't understand why, if he was going to hire me, he would want to interview her again.

I am certain he will offer her this position on Monday.

The trick is getting through the next 45 minutes without any tears.
