Sucks dude!

Well - I had a job that I was interviewing for the last couple of weeks and it looked very promising. They asked for my references and I called them all to check in with them and tell them what to expect and such. That included my previous manager who is generally a good guy and I knew would give a good reference.

So; they call one of my personals who reports back instantly that it went well and then I don't hear anything for a few days. I call them today and they call back and leave me a message that eludes to a problem with my references. To my knowledge they have only called one of the personals. So I call my old boss and ask him about it and he says "dude, I totally forgot to call them back."

Alright; I haven't actually heard back from the hiring folks to see if that's the reason I didn't get the job but if it is - well, I'll never use him for a reference again.
