Nearly There

So that job interview that I had yesterday that I mentioned that I would post about if something came of it?  I'm posting about it.

I took a long lunch at my temp job and drove to the office where I would be interviewing.  When I got there, I was greeted by the hiring manager (who I had already met when we had our phone interview) and she took me around the small office and introduced to the other people at that particular office (the company has two other locations).  All of this took about five minutes, after which we went to her office for the interview, if you can call it that.  She mostly informed me about the company's benefits package and asked me about my compensation expectations.  Not what I was expecting.

She asked me if I had anymore questions about the position (I didn't) and we wrapped up.  I did ask when I could expect to hear back from her regarding if I had I gotten the job or not.  She told me that she had pretty much already decided to hire me, but since this was the first time she was hiring someone directly and not using a recruiting agency, she wasn't sure how long things would take with HR.

What the actual crap?!  It can't seriously be that easy, can it?  I realize that she didn't actually extend a job offer, but she came as close as possible without actually doing it.  Anyway, she told me that she would contact me by early next week, which I interpret as no later than Wednesday.

I want to thank everyone that has been praying on my behalf so that I can find a job.  Again, I don't actually have a job yet, but at the very least, the end of my unemployment is rapidly approaching.
