It is good that you came away from the interview feeling positive. What 
did they say that gave you the opinion that they might hire you?

Well, they seemed convinced of my technical capabilities. If anything, 
they seemed more worried that I'd get bored and leave in five minutes 
flat. But seriously, everything they had a problem with, I gave them an 
answer that appeared to satisfy them. They seemed pretty on-board with 
what I'm saying.

Usually an interview leaves you feeling that you did absolutely 
everything wrong. This is the only interview I've ever seen where it 
seemed that it could hardly have gone much better. I mean, the interview 
itself; the job could /always/ be better somehow.

It'll be interesting to see whether my assessment of the interview is in 
any way correlated to reality, of course...

If they need an informed opinion about that, they can ask here. We can 
all testify that you will never leave your job, no matter how boring and 
underpaid.

Oh, I think they're already convinced of that. 10 years working for one 
company will do that... ;-)

I just got a letter today.

Apparently I am not good enough. (!)

At this point, I'm stunned. I seriously can't imagine what more I could 
have done...

Oh well, I guess I'm back to being bereft of hope.
