this is driving me nuts - mini vent
the job i got is contigent upon a background check, which should come back either today or tomorrow. my current job wants to send me to dallas next week...I'm trying to avoid planning this trip since i'm about to give my notice. BUT, I'm not saying a thing until i get this background check back. Anyway, I talk to HR at the new company this morning to ask if there is anyway they can expedite this so i can avoid this biz trip. they say yes and will let me know. well the HR person is leaving for vaca so if it doesn't come back tomorrow for some reason then i'm in a really bad spot on many different levels. i asked her if there's someone i can talk to in her absence - no response. grrr...
UPDATE: She finally got back to me via email with a "I'll call you about the background check. I leave for vaca tomorrow." So I guess that means she's expecting it back. This whole process is really

Re: this is driving me nuts - mini vent
I would call the HR person directly. I know from her POV that she has to be careful what she says to YOU before she gets the results back, but I would just call and ask her who is backing her up while she is vaca. If you still get no response (voice mail etc), I would just go on the business trip - the new potential job has your contact info and you can give your notice when you get back! good luck.

I know it is stressful-- but as far as you are concerned-- it's business as usual until you get that formal offer in writing.

I would go ahead as planned with your current job & business trip. you don't want to jeopardize anything with them until you know for sure.
