Technically this is the 4th round. but 10 people.

I do gov't jobs -- usually 2 rounds , 6 people , but both interview are group interviews.

my sister is in biotech -- 1st interview - -8 hour day 5 or 6 people.

there are some crazy interview schedules out there

Good luck with the fuckin' ziti, sj. Sorry, since AJ on the Sopranos called it that, it's a thing. But I actually like ziti a lot. It's just going to get me in trouble because I watch too much TV. Like propane, the country of Yemen, and Bach's Toccata in B(Worst. Person. In. The Woorld!)

When I was in the application process for UC Irvine it was two full 8 hour days of interviews and meetings and teaching a class. I must have interviewed with at least a dozen people.

Dear Insomnia Fairy,

Bite me.

No love,
Kristin

Oh, Kristin. Poor you! I hope you're sleeping now!

So, I'm going to ask for a load of ~ma. I'm about to shower and head into work for what could be a very difficult meeting with my bosses. I really love my job, and do NOT want to have to walk away from it. But, I know in the back of my mind that I might have to. That would cause all sorts of other fun issues!

So, work~ma, meeting~ma, calm~ma for all of us, and resolution~ma would all be greatly appreciated!

All the ~ma in the world, vw.

And meeting ~ma for Matt.

Kristin, I hope you got some sleep and that you are, at this moment, slumbering like the proverbial baby.

~ma for vw.

Flings a boot at Kristin's insomnia fairy.

My version of HELL.

Actually, now that I think about it, interviews have always been so scary for me because a) I never had any experience (too many career changes) and b) I desperately wanted to please. Teaching may have taken the edge off both of those. Yay teaching!

(Education likes carrots.)

I had one of these for a position where I'd have been supporting a group of neurosurgeons. And it was down to me and one other candidate and I didn't get the job and the hiring person just left an answering machine message for me (at my friends' house where I was staying) after I had to call him about it. It was over 10 years ago and I'm still pissed about it. FUCK YOU Univ of MD neurosurgeon assholes!

anyway, fuck you also cancer. And good luck vw!

Sorry the interview didn't go well, meara. At least you know that the big boss might be someone you'd have issues with down the road if they did hire you anyway. I mean, who wouldn't like you?! That's insane.

I think that insomnia fairy got my dog last night. He was up for an hour and a half pacing and needing to go out and having accidents inside anyway. And I feel terrible because my boyfriend is here now and his sleep was affected too. although he was a total sweetheart about it. anyway, getting old sucks. the dog I mean. Although I'm feeling all my years pretty hard today too.
