I'm only on the 12th floor. I think this place goes up to 49 or something. That's quite fine with me to only be on #12. I get motion sickness just coming up here - they have these glass elevators and they go pretty damn fast...
I bet you are all wondering:
- why I just sneezed. Well apparently I was not vigilant long enough. Yesterday as the reception was winding down, I started to feel my throat closing up. Yep, sick. Snotted all night, didn't sleep well, and had to lay down three times during the day today. I'm feeling better now, but it's going to be a very very very early bedtime for me.
- how my interview went. Well, kinda hard to say. I did not feel like it was great, in part because I rambled a bit. I think it was difficult to feel professional when 1) I'm sitting at home in my very cramped sewing room with a suit top on and jeans on the bottom 2) occasionally I could hear my voice on the other end which just throws me for a loop 3) they had a written list of questions, only half of which were really very good, and it was very stilted 4) they were all dressed down - OH, did I mention there were about 8 people around the table plus people on speaker from their end? Amazing. They said at the end that I had a very impressive resume or was very impressive - not sure which. I was focused on the fact that I had called a cab to arrive at my house at the time I needed to be at the airport, so I had to go call another.
- if I like my hair any better after 3 weeks. nope.
- if I"m still getting spam. yep. I had 7 emails that comment moderation stopped. So far that's working well for me. I want to avoid passwords...
I'm not sure what else you'd want to know. I'm tired and signing off. I'll try to check in right now on people's blogs, but we'll see...

I LIKE it here. :-)
Feel better soon!
(and ick to the circumstances with the interview.....I'm sure it went well, but geeze!!!!)
Interviews seem to be becoming crappier and crappier as in the situations you find yourself in. I had one where one person was on a speaker phone...as in I was brought into an office, sat at an empty table and had to talk to a speaker phone. In my brain I was talking to Charlie and I was an angel so that helped.
(the above was me too. I somehow was logged in under my OLD blog)
I have enough problems with one-on-one interviews let alone eight! It sounds like you did fine! Good luck, I hope they come back soon with good news!
I babble when I am not sitting in front of someone in person. That's why I hate talking on the phone and also why I would have failed that interview.
Good luck!
Yes, panel interviews are tough under the best of circumstances and that certainly sounds less than ideal. But who knows?
I hope you feel better soon :-)
Hi Mel - way down nthere~! I'm getting better, thanks.
Susan that is NUTS! Wow... Did you fling your hair back and jiggleyour boobs?
Oops, hit enter too soon.
Thanks Tara - I will respond re: the news.
Churlita...I can understand that. Babbling is not the best in an interview... But I'm sure yours is very intelligent babble.
Laura, panel interviews suck!
