Job follow-up? Call, write, or wait?

I had a job interview last Monday. The lady interviewing me said that she hoped to make a decision by the end of the week. She also said that if she didn't hear from me, she'd assume that I was still interested and that nothing had changed.

I waited until Friday, but she didn't call me or anything. **If you don't get the job, do people just not call you and not tell you so?** Do they not contact you and expect you to get the hint? This was my first real interview, and I thought it went well.

**So, should I call to ask about it (also with a thank you for interview and a reiteration of my interest the job)?** I also saw online that you should write a letter, but promptly (about 2 days after the interview) so I don't know if I'm too late for that. Plus, she said "If I don't hear from you..." so I thought I wasn't supposed to contact her.

What should I do?

    In the mean time send a thank you card by mail or email to express the fact you really want and need the job and you will give 100 percent and thank her/him for their time. People that tell you thank you cards and thanks do not work are probably unemployed.
