Yesterday was my interview for the higher level training position. Pheobe advised me to review my resume and practice some of the sorts of questions that people ask in interviews. Personally I can never imagine what those might be, they always take me by surprise. I nearly always have walked out of interviews going, "what kind of a question was THAT, for heaven's sakes!?" So, I tried to prepare. My idea of preparation was to take a dose of Zoloft the day before (which was supposed to be my off day, if I'm weaning myself down), sleep late the day of the interview, and floss my teeth. We shall see!
If I don't get it I hope Skipper does. Or PC. I just hope KA doesn't get it - there's something off about that kid. He always seems to talk a good game and have all the book answers, but I get the impression that his understanding in the situation, something about his comprehension, is lacking. Maybe it's just that he's young and cocky. Skipper used to be a flight instructor, and was a fighter pilot in Vietnam. HardCore* was quite surprised by that, as he said he always had the impression that fighter pilots are all alpha dogs, but Skipper is one of those beta wolves - he may have been alpha in his time, but now he's content being the experienced consultant.
It was a hair-raising interview. During the second part of it I was given a topic and had to organize a presentation in 20 minutes. Oddly, I actually think I did much better on that part of the thing. I'm glad I hadn't known about that in advance; I would have freaked. Honestly, I'm not at all positive that I want the position. I get the impression that Pheobe stresses. But it would mean mid-day hours, and maybe I could get more sleep that way. Although granted, getting to sleep before 11 is difficult with our upstairs neighbors. Last night they left a huge fan going in their bedroom (it sounded like a single engine prop plane) - they've been having a lot of renovations done up there, so something was curing I guess - and had sex loudly and for a long time in their living-room, which is right over our bedroom. And them having sex is really not something I want to think about, let alone be entertained by.

*HardCore has left us! I should have posted about his going away party, last Thursday, but for some reason I've been just so inconsistent about writing anything, lately. I'll miss him. *sigh* His name was still on the manning report on Tuesday. :P Although he sounded almost like he meant it when he said we should get together.
