Another interview

I finally got another phone call this morning for a opening position. It was a job that I applied for a month ago. It took them two weeks to get back to me via email. Then another two weeks to call me directly. I had a feeling they already talked to other applicants who decided they didn't want the job. I wasn't really their first choice. Whatever. I was more than glad to take a shot at it.

The phone screener was a polite and cordial lady. She asked me what time I could come in for an interview. I told her either tomorrow or Friday would work. She suggested Friday 2:30 PM, which I was ok with, then she said she would call me back to confirm soon. Strangely I didn't hear from her until 5:30 PM. She informed me that she had to cancel the said interview, and instead schedule a phone interview with me on Friday evening. She did provide a reason over the phone, in an off-the-record kind of way. Unfortunately my reception wasn't that great, or she had lowered her voice so much, I couldn't hear or understand the exact reason why. It felt like she was sharing some office gossip - She even told me not to tell the interviewer. I just nervously laughed like I understood.

She thanked me for being understanding. I thanked her for letting me know. I felt like she trusted me. That was nice. Even though I had no idea what she told me.
