Just went through all of the paces. I am in the top (1st choice) of the candidates. However, they have a few other interviews that they are obligated to complete. I was told that there is still a chance that one of the other applicants could come out on top, but at the moment that doesn't seem likely.
I wish I lived closer to Ashville. I still have to meet with the owner of the company at some point. I had to fill out a questionaire that was basically a review of the dept I am being interviewed for. They wanted to know what I think of the company, its ads, their marketing strategies, and what I would change as the head of that dept. The lead manager said he was impressed.
I was also given the information on Kevin. Brenda has asked that the paperwork be done to allow Kevin disability if he makes it through the cancer. They are not expecting him to come back to work.
I assumed I would be working for, or under Kevin. I am now being looked at for a position that Vman created and served in for 14 years. I told them that if things progressed in terms of the company's interest in me, that I want Kevin's stamp of approval.
M R Cycles is a mess emotionally right now due to Kevin's situation. It really is a heartbreaking thing to have to face the replacement of a friend and coworker. Kevin is a staple at M R Cycles.
I still have the faith that he can recover and return. I can not let that hope go.
Kevin wants to come home. He said he wants to see his cat, look at his pictures, and have a good meal. He said if he dies, he doesn't want it to be in a hospital.
It really is sad. As much as I need work, I don't know if I want to touch this job due to the emotional baggage it will include with all of the people involved.
