LOL!!!!!! When I am looking for employees, I normally call the day after the interview! But then too, I am in a Large county with a Low population. COUNTRY!! (But I love it). I suppose that it would depend on the number of applicants, the number of positions etc. I still wish you much good fortune. When you get in, I sure hope that you learn to love it as much as I do. Keep notes (no names) cause if you stay in it long enough, some day you are going to want to write a book about all the things that you have heard over the years.

Hi there! Have you had your interview yet? How did it go? If you haven't had it yet, I wish you the best!!

So you have already had your surgery? Did you have RNY? How long post op? How much have you lost so far? When you get sick of me asking questions, just remember that it is in my Blood!! LOL!
