I called the hiring manager this morning and she said that they had not reached a decision yet and that they wouldn't know until next week. I'm nervous because she initially said "it's only Thursday morning," and I wonder now if I ruined my chance. I interviewed wonderfully but I took her at her word when she said that a decision would be made by end of week. I look over eager now as I had already sent a thank you card. I think what I have going for me is that I am extremely overqualified and I have connections.

That said, this is one of those times when I really feel down about my anxiety because when it overwhelms me I do something to relieve it, like call a week after an interview and then when things turn out a certain way I am plagued with further anxiety due to doubts and regrets about what I did to relieve it. It's possible that the call won't even impact my chances - it wasn't contentious at all - but now I am worried.

Sorry for the long winded reply, I will definitely update you all next week.
