Don’t worry. I didn’t die.

Maybe it’s the old lady in me again, but by the time I get home from school all I really feel like doing is laying on the couch to watch Law & Order marathons all night. School really has me drained right now, 18 hours is no joke and when you’ve been carrying that big of a load for 3 semesters straight plus a full load in the summer, it becomes somewhat overwhelming. I’ll be glad when December gets here. Now if someone would just give me a freakin job!! I went on my third interview today, and let me tell you it was no joke. He started asking me all these logic questions at the end that threw me for a loop. For example:

If Mary and Sally caught 25 fish, and Mary caught 4 times more than Sally, how many fish did Mary catch?

I got the questions right, but I had to ask buddy to repeat each one about 3 times. I really just wasn’t expecting these types of questions during my interview. Hopefully he didn’t think I was too big of an idiot.

The company I interview with yesterday already got in contact with me to tell me that they were impressed, but unfortunately not interested. I’m disappointed, especially since I thought I did the best with them, but oh well. Nothing to jump in front of a bus over.

Maybe I shouldn’t have spent all these years learning… instead of wasting my time in the library I should’ve been scoping me out a rich husband, lol.

    hmm, wth kind of question is that for an interview? what kind of job were you applying for?
    don’t get discouraged on the job hunt. it’s definitely true that finding your first REAL job is NOT an easy process. it usually takes a few tries before you find the one that’s really a good fit.

    The position is for a Software Quality Assurance Analyst. I guess they are just trying to make sure I’m not a complete idiot and can think logically.

    I’m not used to having to work to find a job, I usually just get them handed to me. I’m already tired of interviewing, lol.

    LMAO @ Cyn!!!!! What got me was they said it was an “arduous” decision. But I’m thinking it couldn’t have been too arduous cause they made it in one day, lol.

    I can totally understand where you are comin from. I graduated from VUU in 2004. The only job i could find out of college was Managing a Dairy Queen. Now I can’t complain,because it paid the bills. After 2 yrs of that I now work kinda in my field of study(computer information),for honeywell.So just say cool it will happen sooner that you think!

    The Bee is out!

    Good luck in all your interviews. Getting pointed questions like that would get me nervous.

    Girl, I feel you on the L&O marathons…I will absolutely watch if I’ve never seen the episode before. And I’m running out of those. ;)
