Just talked to the Chief - to remind him of my vacation next week. He immediately let me know of the plan to interview the candidates for the promotion and that the interview team will be he, the new Assistant Chief (who started Monday), and my boss. They were thinking of doing the interviews the first week of August, which would be right after I get back from my trip, but that maybe they would push it another week so that I have a chance to recover and get back into the groove. I told him knowing of the possibility ahead of time will make it easier to deal with if they decide to do it that first week.

Having two new people evaluate and interview will be interesting. It means real objectivity in the selection, so I’d have a hard time getting irked if they don’t pick me.

So still a few more weeks until we know the final decision. *sigh*
