This week has been interesting. This is the first time I can say that and not have it be like the Chinese proverb.
I had a rather slow week as far as interviews and such go. I had a phone interview and I got a call for a face to face interview on Friday. I'll extrapolate on that later.
Tuesday was St. Patrick's Day. Now, I love going out for St. Paddy's day and get some Irish food. I found a place in Mountain View that looked like it actually served a lot of Irish pub food. However, it was St. Patrick's Day. That means you get a ridiculous amount of people out to drink copious amounts of green beer and that's about it.
So, instead of Irish food we started looking for other places to go. We wound up at a place called Xanh. It was Vietnamese Tapas. My God, was it good. The food was amazing. They had great martinis as well. There was one called the Fortune Cookie. It's a chocolate martini with crumbled up fortune cookie on the rim of the glass. It tasted amazing. I could certainly go for another one of those.
I was looking for a shirt of my SO's that was appropriately green for the day. For the life of me I could not find it. We looked all over the room and couldn't find it. The same thing happened to our mail key. I searched everywhere... in all the pockets and I just couldn't find it.
So, Thursday I'm sitting around online. I found a good friend of mine that I met at Burning Man back in 2005. I hadn't talked to him in a couple of years. It was great to finally get to be back in contact with someone who I was quite close with.
The next day, as I was getting ready for my interview at a cemetery I wound up finding two other things: 1)the green shirt we were looking for everywhere in the bedroom, and 2)the mail key that had been missing for like a week. Like out of nowhere these things just showed up.
I then went to my interview. The men I interviewed with were really friendly. It was a really good interview. One of the guys said I had a beautiful personality and sounded like he wanted to hire me on the spot. So, I'm hoping that this pans out for me.
This has been an awesome and interesting week...
Hey, Vietnamese on St. Patrick's Day. Why not!! I don't quite remember what I had because we didn't go out that day, but I know we didn't the traditional corned beef. We did have that later though. Well, Mike had it. :D
ReplyDeleteHoping that interview will come through for you. Please let me know.
P.S. Say hi to your SO for me!
I said hello for you.^-^
ReplyDeleteBut I wound up not getting the job. At this point, the only thing I can think of that I'm lacking is a degree. *sigh* But I'm still working on getting a job.
Hehe... yeah, I like Irish foods on St. Paddy's Day (even though I can't eat a lot of it). Usually I've been successful at getting some. Just not so much this year.
It is a b%*&# to find a job right now. Lots of competition from overqualified people. It happened to me during the dot com bust. I just got my degree and then all the tech companies closed. I was competing with people that had been working in the field for years. Totally sucked, so I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. I find myself going out for jobs that I'm overqualified. It really sucks.
ReplyDeleteBut you know what, it's the times we live in. I just take it as it comes.
