Blast from the past

I had the interesting experience of talking to someone who interviewed me for a job over a year ago.

At my current job, I have a client who was wrongfully garnished by a hospital. I have been working for - literally - months to get this money returned to my client. I have opened an internal case file with the hospital, escalated that case file, and waited the required amount of time. I have talked to their collections, finance, accounts payable, customer service, and legal departments. I have spoken with various other people and everyone transfers me to someone else. It's been a nightmare.

I thought to myself "I think I've talked to every person who works for this hospital by now." Then I had that epiphany moment. I went home and dug up the business card for the guy that interviewed me (in the REGIONAL COUNSEL office *facepalm*) and I gave him a call. I don't want to be too hopeful, but I think he's going to help me resolve this pretty soon.

The shocker is that, even though it's been over a year, he actually remembered me. Since he didn't offer me the job, it makes me wonder if that's good or bad...
