UPDATE Can I get some "you got this" good vibes?

Not the news you wanted but my fingers are crossed that by the end of the week you'll be preparing for your first day at your new job!

I had my second interview on Friday and should know by this week if I get it. I applied on a whim for another job that I was offered immediately but I'm still hoping the other place offers me a job this week.

Many positive thoughts for you!! Good luck!!

Man alive, they're dragging out the process, I hope you get some good news very soon!

Even though this wasn't the offer, it certainly sounds like they're leaning towards one!

The contract that's replacing my part of the one I'm on was awarded a week ago last Thursday. This past Thursday was the "open house" with the new team of companies (Really? Three companies for this small contract?) Even though I'm listed as a critical hire, I'm not counting any chickens. The best outcome would be that they not only give me an offer, but one that's what I *should* be making (which is about $25k more than I am, because that's what the guy I replaced was making and I do more than he did so I think $25 is still well within reasonable). The new contract starts in 3 weeks (technically that Sunday, meaning I'll be unemployed for 2 days since my current company has already said if we're not staying with the company - and I can't because they aren't on the new contract- our last day is 4/29). I know it's all part of the government contract game, but that doesn't mean I have to LIKE it.
