like a colonoscopy, only less fun

so yeah, yesterday's interview...

it was long. and hard. and i'm totally spent.

seriously though, i was at the tender mercy of like, 3 menopausal matriarchs who seemed to think my backround was total nonsense. i was really tempted to ask, "ok so if you think i'm this dumb, why are you wasting your time talking to me?" it was that good. they were all foreign too, i also wanted to say, "ok, so chemistry is taught better in turkey and china, all very well and good...we're in AMERICA now, so deal with it."

and today i get a request to come back and give a presentation to all these battle-axes next week. i can't say it fast enough: "i'd rather chop off my legs and put them in a chipper-shredder whilst my axons are still attached, feed it to my pet goat and throw myself on a funeral pyre in the ancient tradition of sutee." so maybe not so much.

but hey. it's friday. and it's only the end of round 1. bring it.
