Bramble Tamble

I know that I said that I would post no further updates on the job until I heard something for sure. It still says so over there in my Twitter widget.

And still, I have heard nothing, mind you. However, what I'm about to share is so deliciously random that I couldn't help but pass on the weirdness to you.

Remember the one basic fact: I have heard nothing - nothing more than positive rumors as to any near-future change in scenery. But as far as even something "unofficial" to keep under wraps - nothing. And I wouldn't lie to you about that; I can't keep secrets about myself.

But. Keeping this in mind (that I have heard nothing):

I do know for a fact that they are already in the process of interviewing for my current position.

(I have heard nothing.)

I have been asked for a list of my duties so that the job description can be written.

(I have heard nothing.)

And - here's the capper that compelled me to break my "no new posting about this job till I hear something" promise:

This morning, I started receiving e-mail sent to the group of which I would be a part in this new job.

At the very least, this has dispelled most of the notions that I've had that this "new job" looks more and more like an elaborate hoax played on me, extending to the highest levels of my company's middle management. And no, I am quite aware that they wouldn't go to such great lengths to do such a thing. A little paranoia is healthy, though (and I'm not differentiating between "thoughtful, well-reasoned paranoia" and "stupid paranoia").

But remember: In spite of all of this - I have heard nothing.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm already supposed to be at my new position and someone just didn't make a phone call. These things do keep me up nights. That's kind of a Charlie Brown thought, isn't it?
