sielwolf's Journal: Another Phone Interview (with You Know Who)

I had a phone interview today with, surprise, The Company again. Not only that but it was the sister group of the guys who didn't hire me last time (the ones I had the ad hoc run through when I went in for my face-to-face).

The first thing the guy asked was "Did you interview down here?" Second: "Didn't I talk to you?" Yes on both counts. Towards the end he actually said that he was impressed with me but he thought that the other group would have snatched me up. Of course I needed to have a good reply. So I mentioned my concept of good synchronicity between the guy they selected and themselves. It is probably true. The other guy probably made a better "I can work with this guy" impression.

So the previous interview might sink or swim me. They might call up and get only bad PR or they could hear solid gold ("I don't know what they were thinking. This is our kinda guy."). So its another two weeks of phone interviewage, possible face-to-face fly down, then possible offer. I'd still love to work for The Company. I loved their attitude. I loved The City. I have close friends there... and I'd be employed ;p

Oh well. Tomorrow I'm going to Pittsburgh to help pull a bus out of a cave (no lyin'). Yep. I'm kin to an international group of Bus Nerds... people who buy, own, refurbish, and talk ad nauseum about buses.

On the diet front: my doctor put me on the Atkins. Says I was a "pre-diabetic". Atkins is good for losing weight, yes, but its central tenant is combating hyper glucose conditions that leads to weight gain. He was more concerned about this later part. So its been nothing but eggs, cheese, salad, salmon, chicken, and bacon for the last three days. Gonna go have steak tomorrow. 'Num!

dammit...

[gmhowell]

My wife rode those buses for many years. First as a resident of Kent, later as a student at KSU.

Don't forget, you are allowed *some* carbs on Atkins.

Good luck with the job.

Re:buses

[sielwolf]

Because of the state education funding cutbacks (booo!) they are eliminating all non-campus bus service. What a shame.

On the carbs front: I had some bread today for a sandwich! I'm such a skamp!

Re:buses

[gmhowell]

I'll have to let Angie know about the buses.

And don't waste carbs on bread. That's what beer is for.

Re:beer

[sielwolf]

Actually I was going to hold off on beer and just do hard liquor. Tequilla shots from dusk til dawn baby!
