The current time is 1pm. It's Friday. I still haven't gotten a call. Not even to say "sorry, but we decided to hire another candidate. Best of luck." Is this the new way of doing that? Instead of calling to say you didn't get the job, they don't call you at all and figure you'll put 2 and 2i together and understand on your own that you didn't get the job? I mean, what is this crap? Even my dad was getting annoyed last night. Whatever. I'm already over it. After all, I did think soon after that I'd blown the interview. Maybe I'm just not a great interviewer, similar to how some people aren't great testtakers. But then again, it shouldn't matter if I'm not a master wordsmith or speaker or don't say exactly what they want to hear. I gave them completely honest answers to each of their questions. And that's all they should expect. I mean, they had my resume and it fleshed out a lot of other details. I don't know... What bothers me the most about this whole thing is the limbo I had to endure all week. I mean, I had plans for this week! At some point, my good friend Steve from HS was going to call me and we were going to go see the new Clone Wars movie. With me in limbo however, we couldn't. We're going this afternoon, but still. He's leaving to go back to college (he's doing five years) tomorrow and we could have made more of us meeting up than just seeing the movie, had we gone earlier in the week.
Maybe I'm just unhirable. If the school that I student taught at for an entire semester won't hire me, who will.
Well, time to break out the next Star Wars novel in line, I suppose. I'll be starting the First Corellian Insurrection trilogy.
One last thing. If you love or have always wanted to try your hand at making custom ringtones for your cell, check out www.myxer.com . Somebody in the off-topic forums mentioned it to me last night, and I checked it out this morning to awesome results. Now whenever my brother calls, the first 30 seconds from Funky's Fugue from DKC2 will play and whenever my friend Steve calls, the first 25 seconds of the Cantina Band song from Episode IV will play (if you couldn't already tell, he likes SW a lot too). It's completely free, save for the text messages you receive, and there are no catches. If you click Customize, you can even choose which part of the song to use, the ringtone's length, and its volume. Such fun. :)
