yes, i have been missing the past week or so i think. i am not sure. it has been busy.
(side note: i hate creepy people who hang around starbucks).
um, k, anyway, so i had an interview down in KC on thursday. it was a three-hour long behavioral interview with three different guys. it was tough, but i was prepared and i did my best, so that is all i can do. the thing is, i was the first out of seven candidates they are interviewing so it will literally be weeks until i hear anything. plus, as LJ pointed out, when there are that many candidates, i will either be the benchmark and everyone else will look bad or everyone else will be good, too and they will just forget about me.
(ok, another sidetrack--three teenage girls just walked into starbucks. my buddy duncman is working and he is only 20 and these are totally the kind of chicks he runs after. sigh, so pathetic).
(addt'l side note: bad 80's bangs at 1 o'clock ahhhhhhhhhhhh!).
so in the meantime i will continue to financially analyze things at the bank headquarters and look for more jobs--fun! i was so busy preparing for this one that i have kind of gotten off track. but that is also ok because i needed a break from monster and careerbuilder and the various individual company websites.
so i am pretty exhausted tonight. it was a hard couple of weeks for my household between my housemates' (i.e. mes parents) job stress, my interview stress, and just general emotional terrorism from a variety of angles.
mais c'est la vie, non?
wow, my french is amazing.
so going back to the interview, one of the questions HR made them ask was if i thought i would be ok living in Kansas City. um yeah. if i can be ok in the iowhat (pause: thank god creepy guy just left) then i think living in one of the best cities in the midwest would be fan-freaking-tastic. no really, i do like the city quite a bit the couple of times i've been there. and as i was reminded yesterday evening while i was out and about, this is a pretty small place and so i am kind of tired of having nowhere to be anonymous or have people being nosy. then of course, i've run into people i've known in some of the largest cities i've been in as well, so yes, the world is small, but it doesn't have to be as small as the iowhat.
ok, so your world is as large as you make it. but you know what i mean.
back to french, i was hoping to start practicing again (or don't you canadians say practising??) because i was hoping to maybe go visit aim in guinea but since i currently have no well-paying employment, that is not looking so good. plus, she was like evacuated to mali because of some union uprisings or something, so we shall see.
ok, btw, i got the 2007 grammy mix cd because the rental car i received to go down for my interview had a cd player but no ipod hookup thingy so i stopped and just bought a cd. anyway, i should do a better job of exploring new music and this was a great way to do it--those rock stars made some good stuff last year. wtg! even if a lot of it is pretty poppy!
ok people, smooches.
