besubversive: (takin' a memo)
Interview went okay. Probably even good. I just felt like I was repeating myself a little bit at times. It's the nature of interview questions; if you try to be thorough, you might answer the next question before it's been asked. And it's not as if they'll skip or change it. You have to do some remix magic and make it sound like a new answer. I'd say the first half of the whole thing was excellent and the second half was acceptable. Those bullshitty "Describe a time that you encoutered such-and-such a problem and how you were able to solve it" questions are the worst. As a secretary, I don't go on epic and memorable bouts of problem-solving, and I certainly don't chronicle it for later reference. Little shit happens and I deal with it.

Whatever. I looked good in my blue sweater, black skirt, black patent belt, grey tights, and sparkly black flats. And I was friendly and made eye contact with all five (FIVE!) of the panel members and sold myself well.

My enthusiasm for my current job is flagging, and with it my work ethic, productivity, and organization. I sigh as I type this. Every day seems more numbing than the one before. There's not a thing wrong with the work, except that it has nothing to do with what I WANT to be doing with my life. Success is not simply making enough money doing something you don't hate yet. My patience for irate parents, fussy teachers, thoroughly crazy pre-teens, and goddamn emergency cards and fucking cumulative records... NEARLY SHOT.

Universe, you know what I'm asking. Please bring me this library assistant position. I PROMISE I will make the best of it.
