FWD: How long to wait after an interview...

[Anonymous Poster <anonfwd -at- raycomm -dot- com>]

Hi everyone!  I've been lurking around the list and noting lots
of details about terms, processes, etc.  It's extremely
interesting plus, I can learn the lingo a bit by reading how you
converse.  

My concern is this:  I interviewed for a position recently over
the phone.  I felt that the interview went well and I answered
his questions promptly, but without sounding too arrogant.  I
then heard back from.  He wrote that the decision was delayed
due to.....and that I would hear back from him soon.  It has
been almost a week since that email.  How long should I wait
until I write, call, or should I just drop it.  
I know I'd make a great TW. I've taught English for 8 years, am
writing a newsletter for the teachers in my district, and  
I'm completely fascinated with technology; I have been learning
to program in C, C++ and VB.  The tools like RoboHelp and
FrameMaker are a bit difficult to learn on my own, although, I'm
considering buying Frame.

Anyway, so my next chance to interview is in June.  Otherwise, I
need to interview now for a start in January.  It's easier to
leave a school in January or the summer.  HELP!  Is this to be
expected in the business (TW) world? I usually have heard from a
school within days.
