An encouraging morning. I had a good meeting with the hiring manager on the aforementioned contract job. The meeting with the project manager had to be postponed, so it may take a day or two to complete the discussions. According to the hiring manager, the job is mine if I want it. Sandra and I will talk about it this weekend and make a decision by Monday. I'll make some calls on Monday to see if any of the other opportunities are likely to become more active. I spoke with one of the other companies and may see an offer soon. These are good problems to have.
