I finally heard something definitive from HR today -- they offered the position to the other candidate. 8-(
On the "plus" side, the interview apparently went very well -- to the point that the HR lady asked me today if I'd taken some sort of interviewing training class, because I was nailing every one of the questions right off the bat. It literally came down to the fact that the other candidate was already in a leadership position in the group that performs that same function here, and I didn't have experience with what that group does nor in leading that particular type of group.
Oh, well. I'm kinda bummed out about it right now, but I'll bounce back.
