Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was

« Last Post | Next Post »

Quick note from Yelli's kitchen on the North Shore:

I'm all dressed up in my brand-new suit, and I'm chopping at the bit to hop on the T and do this thing. Interview starts in a little under two hours. I'm not quite nervous -- more full-of-dread. My Engligh snafu forced my confidence to take a nose dive for a few days, but now I'm over it and ready to be amazing and get this damn job.

(After thinking of many Seinfeld-ian fixes to this resume problem, I realized that my life is not a sitcom, that woman was unprofessional, and I'm human. I made a mistake -- albeit it a huge, horrific mistake -- and all I can do is bring a new copy of the thing. It'd call the misspelling of my English degree a bit ironic, but I was such a bad student that I'm not sure if that's the correct use of the word, or Alanis'. But I digress...)

I guess what I'm really worried about is not wanting this job after all this. I'm getting a worse and worse impression of this job, these people, this school -- and though it sounds ideal (I'm qualified; it's up my alley; it includes housing; it's in Boston), I'm starting to think that maybe it's gonna suck.

Either way, wish me luck... Chin up. Happy face. Let's do this.

Good luck with the interview and if asked, say you're "champing at the bit", not chopping. One chops broccoli; one champs at the bit. :)
Just trying to help!
