... and waiting for the other shoe to drop.I mean, not literally. Who twiddles their thumbs? I have tried it before, when waiting anxiously for news, but it did nothing to relieve the tension. It just made my thumbs tense, too.
And I don't actually expect my boss to come in front of me and drop a shoe, but I can picture it. That's it. That's all that happens: she walks up to the desk, holding a red, stilletto-heeled shoe between thumb and forefinger. She looks at me, looks at the shoe. She looks back at me, releases her grip, and the shoe falls with a soft thump on the carpet. She turns on her heel and walks away. Nothing more needs to be said.
(Except I would be sitting there thinking, "So, does that mean I'm dismissed as of right now? Can I count the time cleaning my desk out as being on the clock? Should I say good-bye to people or just leave? I need to delete my web history!")
So yeah, I didn't post yesterday because I didn't have anything to say. I waited all day to hear something, and then around 4 my boss left and said "See you tomorrow!" So I assumed that meant I was employed for another day.
Here it is, another day, and I'm just twiddling my thumbs again, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

As long as you get both shoes, you're in good shape.
I was just going to e-mail you and ask what the scoop was.
About your word verification question -- I guess that's faster than having all the comments e-mailed for approval. I run the blog for my alumni group, and I have everything sent to me because most "comments" are blog-spam. I'm not sure anybody reads that thing anyhow.
