"I wish alcohol was calorie free . . ."
-or-Things I wish I hadn't said aloud.
I got to schmooze with the big cheese this morning. In other words, I had an interview at the uni. I don't really want to blog about it because I feel like that will jinx it. However, it was the most chill I've ever felt before, during, and after an interview. Granted I spent all of yesterday studying interviewing tips and reading about the office where I applied - but this morning, sitting outside the office - no butterflies, no nervousness, no urge to run out the door. Meh. Now, in keeping with the title (or rather, subtitle) of this blog, they did ask one question to which I wish I had either kept to myself or lied.
Them: "What are the two tasks you least enjoy doing?"
Me: "Hm. I didn't enjoy dusting at the bookstore."
Seriously - what are you supposed to say at an interview for an ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT job? "I don't really like doing those things that other people don't have time for - like filing, copying, typing, answering phones . . . you know. I don't enjoy working, actually. I'd much rather stay home and watch Weeds. So those would be the two tasks." Come on. Really, all I've ever "not enjoyed" doing was being a chummy, pushy, phony salesperson at the bookstore. And dusting. So I was honest.
Let's hope my *cough* midwestern farm-charm . . . or something like that, won them over.
Some closing notes:
-watch Weeds Season 2. you will bust a gut, then be begging for Season 3.
-i wish i could have been a cast member of arrested development.
-i need to apply for more jobs. out.
