I am feeling so sick. Everyone here is being so nice to me. My boss this morning was all smiles and asking how I am and talking about what a beautiful day it is. We just had a drafting department meeting where the engineers were saying "If you get too stressed out don't hesitate to come talk to us and we'll get everything sorted out amongst the engineers so you don't need to worry about prioritizing your work" and she finished off with "But you guys are doing a wonderful job and we're thankful for everything you do for us!"
My friend just told me "It's like cheating on your boyfriend, except it's your company"

Okay I honestly don't think that went very well. I got home a half hour early and plugged my cell phone in so it wouldn't go dead during the interview. He called and after about 5 minutes I LOST SERVICE. Sitting in one spot right beside my window in my bedroom, it just went dead. He called back and I aplogized. He was asking me questions about designs and water main fittings and stuff and I just felt so dumb. I didn't know. But I kept repeating that design is the direction I'd like to go in and I really would like to learn.
He also asked about salary and I used the recruiter's advice and told him I don't know the going rate in the engineering community around Vancouver so I couldn't say for sure. I gave him my current salary and said I would expect a raise from that to be switching jobs. Anyways, then he told me a bunch about their projects, and about the area. He also asked what my plan is and when I'd be out in that part of the country next. I said I have no idea, I've actually never been to that side of the mountains, but if this job turned into a real possibility that I'd for sure go out there and check out the area. And basically he said I would need a lot of training and he'll have to talk this over with other people and he'll call me back in about a week.
Oh yeah and he wants me to also send him some drawings I've worked on so he can see what I can do.
Ugh this is stressful. Maybe I should just be happy where I am.
