aaaaaaaargh.
I’m not going to say the interview went poorly today but I will say that I am drinking a *VERY* large Cherry Pepsi Icee and this fact is the best thing that happened to me today.
Other things that went better today than the interview:
1) Received 3 books from Bookmooch. (total # of Bookmooch books I’ve read so far = 0. Can I go back on vacation?)
2) Took car to Nissan dealership. The oil change was free (yay for Nissan giftcard, which is a long story – did I tell you about this already?) but the wire in the steering column that needs to be replaced is more like $350. Wahoo. (Okay, it’s actually going to be $339 because I still have $11 on that gift card).
3) Oatmeal, walnut and cranberry break-n-bake cookies (the reason I went to Target, ha ha) are in the oven and smell freaking incredible.
4) Lunch was take out from Qdoba and was yummy. Oh, Mexican food, how I adore thee.
All of that said…here is a VERY important life lesson that I hope I have learned on behalf of each of you: When interviewing with the CE(fucking)O of a company (siiigh) do not refer to the company by the name of his competitor. (Yes, clearly I DO want to go live on the streets after my current employer goes toes up).
Oh, and the reason the company called me 24 hours later for a second interview was because the CEO was going to be out of town the rest of the week and on vacation the subsequent two weeks. So much for my “OMG they love me!” theory.
Cookies are done.
