Interviews
Man, over the last week, I've gone to three interviews but the one today took a lot out of me (kicked my ass)...Because of the rain, and Peeps on the Kennedy not knowing how to drive, I was 5 minutes late. But after the intro I was shown to a room with a computer, and told to login with a user name and password. Then proceed to take a test that would not be timed, and on the desk there was a note pad, pencils, a calculator, and some type of slide rule. I was like "you got to be kidding"...But I used all of them. It took me one hour to answer 30 questions, involving fraction, gross profit, net sales, gross margins, % rates, and a bunch of other stuff that I wondered if I would ever use on this job. I knew I had fail, and almost did not care, but after it was graded I was told that I passed and would be interview in a moment. That went well, other then feeling like I was being drilled by a female "Drill Sergeant". So the second interview was set up for this coming Monday. Man, if I did not have go back to my job, I would have slammed two beers and a shot. What we go through to better our careers, get a more paying job, or just to get out of the "pain in the ass" job we have now...After it was all over I inhaled....
You Football fans, did you see the halftime interview that Terrell Owens gave tonight, during the Packer's vs Charger's game? He and his agent laid into the Eagles front office, after being asked to leave the Eagles camp. Terrell was like "I Can Wait You Out Because You Need Me So Much." LOL, I love it......
Keep it up,
