Although it makes for a humorous story, it was and it wasn't. I drank an entire bottle of wine by myself that night. I still think I'd like to go back and shoot him almost dead (so he has time to hear me tell him why I killed him and to think about it a little.)<br /><br />Okay, not having a good day. Sorry. Should stay off the computer. Yelled at the dog, too.ari_1965https://www.blogger.com/profile/00184925473746713999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-45087471594673418292011-08-26T11:19:33.804-07:002011-08-26T11:19:33.804-07:00Best job interview i ever had was with a guy who w...Best job interview i ever had was with a guy who wanted to date me anyway.

Whether that's translated into my indoor sauna -- er, I meant to say house -- is another question.

He seemed happy with my answers. At the end of the interview, I realized she was really irritated with me. I don't know if she felt that I wasn't looking at her enough or if it was something else I said or did. Since she was the principle hiring person, needless to say I did not get the job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-4829641584711231872011-08-25T20:14:12.861-07:002011-08-25T20:14:12.861-07:00I did have one horrible interview where I was a co...I did have one horrible interview where I was a co-interviewer, and my colleague decided she should talk for the full interview without interruption. The poor woman being interviewed must have thought we were nuts. <br />Granted, she was the equivalent of a Ph.D applying for an intern position, so I'm not sure what she was doing there in the first place. Even so, I could see her giving us a look as if to say "are you guys kidding me?" as we each tried to ask our questions.<br /><br />The nicest thing about experiences like that is when you remember that they're in the <i>past</i>.The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-88849387450141132302011-08-25T19:59:29.406-07:002011-08-25T19:59:29.406-07:00I should think the least you can do when you inter...I should think the least you can do when you interview is to try to appear interested.
