Woot! I had an interview two weeks ago and even though it was very positive everything went dead. Cattle fasteners thought I and on we go. they just called back apologetically, people were away and they had a problem scheduling, sorry for not keeping me informed, etc, etc, etc. Can I do an interview Monday afternoon?
They've had me CV, they know the money I want and they still want to talk. Things are now crossed.

Good luck! I've had 4-6 week dead zones before callbacks. Two weeks sounds absolutely spritely.

Watch out for the bait and switch. I once aced a phone interview, they had the numbers on the table ahead of time, they loved me but just wanted an in-person so I drove from West Palm Beach to Tampa to seal the deal. Everything went great ... when I got back home they offered my half; I sent them an invoice for the drive.

Okay, I give: what, prithee, is the meaning, in context, of "cattle fasteners."
A reference to "barbed wire;" the sting of rejection analogized to being "cut" ?
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

HR turned on the benefits enrollment portal this morning. Not only are the benefits they're offering unchanged from last year (confirmed via email earlier); but the total rate hike I'm looking at is 19 cents/pay for the vision plan. Everything else I'm getting is exactly the same cost to me.

Your lucky indeed.
In July they changed our plan and the rate only went up 50 cents per pay, however out-of-pocket/co-pays/deductible all went up.

Some questions from a normal mortal:
What is a benefits enrollment portal ?
What is the cents/pay scalar ?

It's an internal website with delusions of grandeur that allows you to pick and choose among selectable/optional benefits. ex healthplans A, B, C, or I'm Getting My Coverage Elsewhere (Military Veteran, Spouse's Employer, Obamacare exchange, etc)? If I want a vision plan that offers discounts in designer glasses frames or not. Who the beneficiaries for my employer paid life insurance policy are, and do I want to buy more coverage than the minimum my employer is offering?
Rage wrote: What is the cents/pay scalar ?
Depending on how what you count my premiums are ~0.6% or 2.2% of my pay; with the difference being the amount I'm contributing to a non-taxed savings account to cover my share of health related expenses as a sweetener for taking a plan with lower premiums that has a higher minimum amount of expenses I have to pay before it kicks in. (This option is a good choice for someone who is young and healthy since it allows accumulating a fund for future expenses; but is more questionable for people with larger expenses.) My employer covers the majority of my health insurance as part of their total employment package; and if I was also buying coverage for a spouse/children I'd be paying substantially more because they cover a lower share of that part of the plan.
