Vibes for J's job again... UPDATE (loooong, sorry)
J has an informal gtg with the Regional Manager (boss's boss) tomorrow. Hopefully, this reinforces his approval of Jason and solidifies the job!
Please send job vibes and help us find a last minute babysitter vibes!
UPDATE:
J's cousin is going to watch Scarlett. (YAY) It's good practice for him and his gf since they are expecting a little girl in a couple of months. The gf's mom is there to help out, too.
I feel terrible. I kind of let J have it last night. It wasn't fair.
He got an update from "Bob", his "boss," last night that the regional manager (RM) was not interviewing the Monster interviewees, even though he was in town. He has also been calling them in for same-day interviews with Bob, so these candidates are probably not interviewing prepared. (Good news.)
But Bob also said that Bob got his job because another candidate wanted too much money. The RM has been talking to that other candidate and wants to bring him in. (Bad news.)
The stupidity of this is that the RM told this candidate that he would have hired him for Bob's job except he wanted too much money in front of Bob!!!!!! So if they do hire this candidate to work for Bob, Bob has no more authority because the candidate knows he was more desired than his boss. RM is an idiot.
We are hoping that J can charm RM today and persuade him to go with J because J is way cheaper than the other candidate, J won't cause an authority problem with Bob, and J has worked extremely well with Bob at their previous job and knows and can uphold Bob's management style.
So J get's off the phone convinced that he won't get the job. I just lost it because he doesn't know how Effed we are if he doesn't get that job.
I'm really mad at myself because I have allowed us to spread ourselves and our budget too thinly. On the other hand, I have to make all the adult decisions in our house and that irritates me to no end.
So I tried to apologize to him this morning about losing it last night, and he didn't say anything. That just breaks my heart. I guess we'll talk about it tonight.
Thanks so much for all the vibes, girls. I know J can be supercharming, so I hope that the RM can see that J is the best choice.

It has got to be tough being the "adult" most of the time! I know J knows you're sorry you lost it on him, and all will be good. It's a super stressful time for both of you.
