It looks like the other department will hire the beautiful blonde temp that's been in the position for two weeks, so my interview will not occur...or at least it has still not been scheduled.
And the promotion story about my boss--that was just a rumor that got started by one of our (irate) department members after a heated discussion in a private meeting. When I confronted my boss to ask when he planned to tell me about his promotion, he said he was still hoping for one, but probably couldn't expect it for 4 months or more.
So now I'm left to wait it out. Feeling a bit under-utilized, but in the economy our state is in (Michigan), I guess I should be happy to have a job!
