I found out last Thursday, as we were leaving for our trip, that they decided to make me a formal offer for the job I interviewed for! I was really excited to hear that they were offering me the job, so I accepted it on Tuesday, and had my pre-employment physical exam on Thursday.
I don't know my start date yet, but I'm thinking probably in September. They are still in the process of performing the background check and of course they have to get the results of the drug test. So it will be a few weeks yet.

Congrats! I figured as much when I got a phone call. Did you hand-write your application right handed? They had my first name as "Arne"
Carrie
You rawk!
Congratulations!
Thank you all for the congratulations!
No, I didn't hand-write my application at all. It was an editable PDF. According to my copy I typed your name correctly, Carrie, so the investigator must have made some sort of transcription error or something.
YAY!!
Outstanding news!
