Soo0o0o.. I mentioned the Google job way back on Jan 5th in this thing. And I finally got my resume in (which they lost first. Had to get a second one in). Then I was called, said I could only work part time, was told they need full time. Call back when that changes. I work crap out at school which consists of me dropping the one class that would finish my Sexual Health Educator Certificate, and going to the evening lecture for the final four weeks of my UNIX class.
I am going to the evening UNIX class tonight, because, well, the morning one started a half hour ago, and I have a physical scheduled at 2. The UNIX class would have ended around 1pm, and I would have had to rush rush to my appointment. I'd rather just go in the evening than be late, since this appointment has been planned since December.
So.. here I sit. Waiting for a phone call about me getting the job.
Want to hear about the interview? I'm sure you do!
I waited in the lobby for Matt (the supervisor) to get me. I filled out the application and all. Matt finally came, we went into a room where there was one other guy. I'm not sure how to spell his name, but it's pronouced "Qua." Matt asked me about my work at Evan's (the telephone surveyer job I had for a month). There were the usual questions about how I dealt with difficult people on the phone; can I handle repetitive jobs, etc etc. Then "Qua" asked if I liked music, and if I played any musical instruments. Apparently you need rhythym for this job. I told them I played piano once or twice. "Qua" then did a demonstration on this little set up. I repeated it for a while, and that was the interview.
Matt asked me if it was okay if two other people could ask me a few questions. Yeah, sure, I replied. He brought me to an office with a guy named Manny (Maddy? Matty? I dunno. They call him Joker too, so I heard) and a girl named Abby (however she spells it).
Joker seemed nervous, Abby kept the same quasi smile on her face the entire time. Joker asked me about Evans.. Asked me what I did in my spare time. Abby asked me if I was in any extra-curricular activities at City College, and what degree I was working on. Joker asked me if I was a tree, in a forest ("because you mentioned that you like camping."), what kind of tree would I be? I said, after some bewildered thought, that I would be a tree kids could climb on. Later down the line, he asked me, if I was a dog, what kind of dog I would be. I said I wouldn't be a dog. I would be a cat. [I just can't relate to dogs.] "What kind of cat would you be, then?" I dunno.. Not a pissy cat? Something like my cat, André. In terms of looks, I would be a cute cat? I dunno. That was basically awkward.
Some other questions flew, like, Joker said he arranged the chairs in the room a certain way to see which I would pick. (They were all folding chairs, two blue, one lime green, and I think a red one. Along with one of those giant
exercise balls that was yellow.) I, of course, sat in the green chair because green is my favorite color. I said I was going to sit on the ball, but, decided it wasn't *makes quotes with fingers* proper enough for an interview.
After all that.. They asked if I had any questions for them. I asked them what they do. Because I wanted to know why they had enough authority to interview me. (but I didn't say that out loud) They looked at each other in a nervous way and said "We can't tell you." ..... Yes. I know it's a project that they are working on, and it's big, and not for the public. But that was just silly. I told them that Matt said he was a supervisor, "Qua" was the lead.. So.. what were they?
I think they just said that they were in the same department. Whatever. You. Fucks.
After all that, I waited in the lobby for Jason. Ryan came in, because he was going to go home. We talked about how the interview was. He said that Abby had only been there for two weeks. We shot the breeze, me telling him the stupid questions I was asked, and us laughing about it. I had Jason's truck keys, so, we went and sat in the truck waiting for Jason.
I told Ryan, I kinda wish they didn't know that I was friends with him. That way he could listen in on any conversations about me. Right after I said that, Abby, Joker and a few other people from the department came outside. And when in hearing distance, I heard Abby say, "she said, 'I would be a cat.'" And then she laughed and I heard some other people laughing.
I told Ryan they were laughing at me. He said I was paranoid. He didn't hear what she said. I told him, and there was a little moment of "was she talking shit?"
Abby's not planning on making very many friends.. So, I think Abby's a shit-talker. And I don't like her already. I told Jason about it, and he said "choose your friends. It's like high school in there." That's alright. I had one or two friends in high school, and I stayed away from everyone else. That's how it's going to be in this job, I guess. At least I'm friends with Ryan. He'll be around for a while, until he starts the driving job.
James said I should have said I would be a pitbull, so that I could rip off the dude's face for asking such stupid questions. :oD Amusing: yes. Good for the interview: No. Hehehe
Okay.. I still haven't heard from them. *pout* *gets anxious* Life goes on.. I still think I fucked up the interview. Goddamnit. Anyways.. It's noon. I have to leave in an hour for my appointment.
