When is a interview not an interview

May 2, 2007

Damn 6 days since last post, much has happened some good some not so good
I put my meal to nuke and I think it will caramelize and open a hole to another universe.

Interview

After I made arrangements for an early interview Monday so I could go from the allergy shot, straight to the interview, I got a call that had me move the interview from Monday to Tuesday. I dusted off the Interview/Funeral suit, downloaded everything I could find out about the agency and studied a bit. I made a trial run to find the place, and it is easy to find. It is in a residential neighborhood behind a car dealership but has the illusion of being secluded. It looks like is has no place being there.

The Interview started out ok, the woman kept smiling but the man seemed aggressive and after I described what my experiences were, he kind of told me what the job entailed as though I had gotten the job and he was letting me know in no uncertain terms what was expected. We talked about the accounting system and I told him that I had worked with several and with a little training (I would get one month) I could manage it. Apparently since it is so small I would handle all financial aspects except for H/R. The woman seemed friendly and I think I handled her questions, but the gentleman seemed perturbed and I gathered from his explanation on how important it is to be there, and that some people abused their sick leave to the point, when they needed it they were SOL and took LWOP. I offered to show my leave balances twice but he said it was none of his business. Curious enough though, I don’t think I had a chance from the beginning, and they may have someone in mind. But I could be wrong; I’m replaying the whole thing in my head. Luckily on of my references worked there and I brought up her name in the sense that I got a heads up on what they do.

Lunch over, I need to post a card for my grandma who is over 90

Lost train of thought and haven’t written, had a plan but lost the Idea
Back to the interview, after thinking about it, they didn’t ask a lot of questions or have me sign the standard release of information. Talked to contact and she confirmed that he is a bit hostel, he is a rancher and thinks that smoking is a sign of weakness. If I am asked for a second interview I will feel him out some more, but it is unlikely because I am sure he has some one in mind.

Was asked a noncense question about a group we used to belong to by a buddy, it was fun and it wasn’t organized but when something weird happened e would say “Well we must consult the ***** about it.

The questioned concerned what the ***** would say about my predicament

I have consulted the Great One
and I must take the four steps of realization

1) Organization-eliminate any useless paper, everything including toilet paper, I must also purchase a large sponge for the bathroom
2) Conversation-Look within one self and tape or write a 2 hour interview with my self, the questions must be written, four copies mailed to the four corners of the world and mailed back, the envelopes given to a Philatelist.
and the contents destroyed, the original is read on tape and I must respond to the questions. The video tape is then to be sent to Eric Cartman of South Park, CO for analysis
3)Conservation- I must conserve energy but drinking heavily for one week and sleeping the rest of the time while listening top the entire Pink Floyd Catalog over and over
4) realization- I must realize that nothing can stop me but my self. I must take a scientific approach to weight loss, healthy environment and healthy thinking, change my lifestyle, meet women who have make radical changes, and find those that believe they are now the elite, marry them and then dump all the negativity I have fostered as a chale on to them and become a happier person with someone else money


Upon further recollection I guess you had to be there.
