i accidentally figured wrong when making my lyft ride- or there was more traffic causing it to take longer for me to get to the interview. the other job coach that i had met me there and LUCKILY, i had him tell the people i was interviewing with that i'd be a little late- so hopefully they don't frown on that- i'll know next time to make my ride 10 minutes earlier than i did today. i got to the hotel finally and seen the other job coach sitting at a table on his computer and i went to the desk and told them i was there for an interview. the lady who i was interviewing with met with me at a table and she asked me questions and i had a nice conversation with her, while the other job coach sat at the table next to us and listened in- chiming in when it was helpful. after the interview was over, the other job coach complimented me on how well the interview went after the interview. i hope my tardiness didn't make a difference because of how well the interview went. then i went home and the ics worker called me and asked me if there was anything they could help me with. i said, "well.. just to check on the apartment in boston and if they got my application and what number i am.." then the ics worker just said, "you can call them and ask them the status of your application." then i said, "well i feel like i just called them and i don't wanna annoy them.." and then they said, "oh.. they won't be annoyed. just tell them you were wondering about the status of your application." then i said, "okay.." and called them and told them my name and i was just wondering about the status of my application. at first the lady who answered the phone said that i'm #1.. my eyes widened but i played it cool because there's no way things could work out that well for me. then she said quickly, "oh! no.. you're number 87!" a little worse.. but i think i was in the 200's the previous time i called. so i'm gradually making my way up!.. i'll take it. i'm pretty sure the last time i called was just last friday, so this waiting list moves faster than i thought. so i'm satisfied with things right now. the lady i interviewed with seemed moderately interested in hiring me.. but then i've got that feeling with a lot of other interviews where they end up hiring someone else- so that's not saying much. just have to wait to see where things go. she told me she'd call me by monday, so if i see a number pop up which wasn't from the hotel and it was her personal line- it was her and don't think it's a telemarketer/spam call. so i'm not sure if i should take that reassurance as a good sign? but i'll just play it by ear because i get this feeling about a lot of other interviews and they end up finding someone else.
