so i had an interview today.... i think that it went well, not sure... see, i was nervous... and what happens when i get nervous, kids? yep. bad jokes and rambling occurs. *sigh*
i want this gig. they have an office dog (jack russell puppy) and the people i met with seem like swell eggs!!!! really swell eggs! plus they have some decent sounding clients!
the it guy was asking me slight code questions... i know this stuff, i just sorta froze though... not totally frozen, but, nervous blank head sort of frozen. ya' ever get that?
and i said "well, i know how to code, you know, html, css, a little javascript, etc etc, but i haven't done real fancypants coding"
fancypants.
i must have said fancypants about a dozen bloody times over the hour and 20 minute interview.
fancypants.
then i was asked what i wanted from a company... and here's where my vocabulary took a siesta... "well, i want to be at a place where i'm not stagnant, and a place that keeps me occupied... wait, not occupied... i mean challenged, yes. challenged...."
not to mention the comment that i had:
"well, i'd like... and this is gonna sound hokey... i'd like to be at a company where it's like a good marriage... not like, walk down the aisle marriage, but someplace where i'll be happy for a long time"
hokey? marriage? y'all don't need me to have a webcam to be able to tell that i am shaking my head in disgust at myself.
oh well, what's done is done. take me as i am. hoping that they at least bring me in to freelance so i can prove that i will be a kickass asset (*a kickasset) to their agency.
so, everyone... i need you to cross your fingers, click your heels 3 times, clap your hands and sing "give erin the job!!!" at the top of your lungs!
