If they do, then they stole the maintenance plan of the YMCA.

( fix one this month, wait three months for the next and tell the members the parts on are back order)

Apparently the gentleman who interviewed me oversees the maintenance for part or all the San Diego area locations, and told me I would be responsible for two, a small satallite plus the primary one. I would be going to instruction seminars regarding the electronics in the "upscale" machines as well as the corporate policies. As far as the machines with "computers" from my past experience with such devices you pretty much replace boards. Of course you have to have the replacement on hand (which I have a feeling is not SOP).

I didn't know such devices had rebound boards.

Go, San Diego.

It's not quite a done deal yet, but it's looking real good.

[metaldad]

I KNOW you got this!

I think I may have jinxed this, haven't heard back and I just got pulled from one of my temp services jobs allegedly because I wasn't "picking it up" fast enough for them (I hadn't put in even eight hours yet). I have a pretty good idea what was going on, but I won't go into it here.

Very sorry to hear that.

As Tavis Smiley says: "Keep the faith"

Wow! Just read your two most recent posts. Looks like your spirits went from stellar to cellar.

I hope everything works out for you. We're all pulling for you. Please keep us updated. Good luck!

Sometimes it helps if they get a "follow-up call" of sorts from an applicant. Just to remind them that you are still interested in the position... I hope you hear something soon, Dutch.
My son just went through a battery of interviews for a librarian position at a university. It took months and months of correspondence, phone interviews, personal interviews, etc. before he was finally selected. Sheesh.
