My SO had his in-person interview today with the "dream job". He said it went very well, albeit exhausting. He was there from 9am-3pm! He interviewed with six different people, got a tour of the plant, went out to lunch, and even had a little quiz at the end (they gave him two pictures/problems and he had to tell what was happening, why it was bad, how it could be fixed, etc). He's nervous about the quiz part because he wasn't allowed to use internet and therefore no translator. His written English still sucks pretty bad, he really needs to work on that.

BUT he says everyone was extremely impressed with his knowledge level and work. And also that he got along really well with everyone and more than one person told him "I hope you get the job, you fit in with everyone perfectly".

The guy doing the hiring will be gone for a while so he probably won't hear anything for two weeks or so.

THE WAITING!!!

Anyways. The one thing he said they reiterated constantly was his need to travel. Often. Very often. Last night while I was waiting for him to come to bed I was just thinking about how damn much I'm going to miss him when he's gone. Ugh it'll totally blow. But we'll make it. I figure he can put in a good 2-3 years and then maybe they'll transfer him (us) over to a European branch! This company is all over the world! If he's really going to be traveling that much then maybe it's best we continue to stay with my mom. So I won't be lonely all the time. Or it might be better for us to get a place so when we're together we have alone time. Who knows, we'll see I suppose!

Also- he told them about our India trip and it seems to be okay with them. One guy mentioned that my SO will have to get a visa for Russia, China and India. He told them he already has an India visa, they asked why, and he answered. They seemed to think the trip won't be an issue, as long as something important doesn't come up last minute. (I later told him he'll still have to apply for another India visa, the one I got for him is only 6 months).

SO- I'm really super psyched and happy for my SO and I'm trying to not think about all the time he'll be gone.
