ateolf | it was an interview! (sort of)

i went to the interview thingie w/ that company that i "applied" for online...i went at 6...i made it through some initial like 5 min or so screening then they had the main 1 hr interview (w/ several other applicants too)...up to here i didn't really have too much of an idea what this job (or company) was...(the company is Vector Communications, for the record) a good first half of this "interview" was a product demonstration for the company...they sell knives...it's some company called Cutco...i don't really know what the deal is w/ all these different company names, Vector was also a sub. thing of some parent corporation...i dunno...it seemed kind've decent except i'd have to be going to ppl's homes and giving them demonstrations on the product...fine except for my little crippling shyness problem and utter phobia of dealing w/ ppl and all...well not completely, but i definately couldn't handle doing a one on one sort of thing on such a regular basis...i was hoping for some job where i could hide behind other ppl...so after the hour when they started doing the personal "yes/no you do(n't) get the job" when he asked me, between 1 and 10, how excited i am about this job or whatever i said something to the effect of hmmm...i'm not sure...then he was like i sense some doubt and i can't hire anyone unless they're a 10 and bouncing for this job...or something like that...then i said that i wasn't very good in dealing w/ ppl...yadda yadda...it was kind've cool turning a job down or something i guess...i dunno...another thing, when i first went in for the inital 5 min interview thingie, these girls started laughing...i was wondering why they were laughing at me...when i got home i found out: there was a big tear in the ass of my pants...hoo-fucking-ray for me (and my total geekdom...) i doubt the job guy saw it (not that it matters) as i was mostly sitting, and not having my back turned towards him...i could feel embarassed, but i don't...i don't really care in the slightest...

a little later i went over to The Apartment and chillded w/ Paul...we went to the sucky Apocalypse Cafe and it was even suckier than usual...ppl were louder and obnoxiouser...Paul and i played chess, just when i thought i was going to win he kicked my ass...bollocks...then i played this other guy that Paul knows and i don't (some gamer-type) and he kicked my ass too...well, there was a while i could've had him, i did a few good moves, but i also did a few really stupid moves that i would've taken back, as i noticed right after i did them, if it were Paul or something...but as this was some guy i didn't know i left them...he really stomped my ballz bad too...oh well...then i ended up taking him home...then dropping Paul back off at his...and now i'm at mine...
