Huh?
In my quest for a new job, I e-mailed my resume to this "elite" public school here in town. This is a public school, but the students must apply and be accepted-basically it is for high achievers. Anyhow, I got an e-mail from them today that stated, "we are in receipt of your resume and will be arranging interviews the week of June 6th. Thank you for your interest in xxxxxx school." Now does that mean that I am supposed to call them to schedule an interview? Will they be calling me to schedule an interview? Is it just for my knowledge? I wish that they were more specific in their contact. Am I just completely clueless?
So, I did run today. Most of the day my upper hamstring/glute/piriformis area was really tight. I was using the tennis ball almost all day to try to get the knot out. It really only bothers me when I'm walking. I did my regular 7 mile loop, the first time since the marathon. I could feel that I am still tired from the race. The warm weather may have also played a part in the general feeling of being tired. I wore the heart rate monitor, but I have decided that I do not particularly care for it. My suspicion is that it is not completely accurate on me since it registers awfully high readings even when I am very relaxed. For example, while I was driving, it was registering something around 188-it just does not seem right. I did my 7 mile loop in 50 minutes, a little bit slower than a regular day, but none too shabby.
I went to the gym and rode the bike for an hour. Again, the monitor was picking up interference from the machine. With about 15 minutes to go, I had to get off the bike and buy a bottle of water since I was absolutely parched. The weight area was really crowded and I had every intention of lifting. I got done on the bike and decided that I only had time to stretch well or lift. Since I have been tight tight tight, I decided that stretching was the better option. I was able to get some of the kinks out. It was already getting late, I was hungry and still had to go to Trader Joe's. I made a quick trip to TJ's and then came home, ate, and here I am....

I would take that as "we'll call you" but what do I know, I've only ever gotten one job.

I second Alison's instinct, but I would totally be paranoid with that kind of response. I am so happy that you are searching for new jobs :)

I've found that following up is magic in itself. I wouldn't incessantly insist or anything, but it can never hurt to leave a message or write an email saying you're looking foward to hearing back from them or something. It shows that you're interested.
