Just wanted to say thanks to RossMAN on this. It helped me out alot, and actually raised my spirits a tad. It worked fine, and no, I do not have long distance on my phone.
In case anyone cares - I was calling to see whether the fruits of my interviewing twice with the particular company was leading in the direction of a job. I haven't heard back from them since my 2nd interview about 3 weeks ago (3 weeks plus). Well, a little relief, as I was told I am still being considered for the position, however the company has an upcoming board meeting on monday and they have been focused on preparing for that. Hiring for this position will be returned to after this meeting.
Again, RossMAN to the rescue! Thanks a ton.
