Screaming Bean |
Thursday, July 17, 2008
Interesting thing happened on Wednesday. I went in to an interview for a job I wasn't sure I wanted, and actually came out feeling better about the job and the organization when I was done. That hasn't happened before. Perhaps it was being relaxed and trying to be myself that did it, perhaps it was a lack of pressure on my end. It had its fair share of odd questions, and a fair share of odd answers on my part, but how many group interviews have you had where you actually got the interviewers to laugh? I did, more than once. In a way, it was sort of a surreal experience. We'll see if it goes anywhere, but even if it doesn't, it was a fun afternoon. And to bring me screaming back to reality, upon my actually trying to do work this morning, my boss thought it'd be a good idea to totally change the file structure on the server. Documents I needed, I couldn't find. Documents I opened, I couldn't save. And my boss couldn't understand why I got upset about this. Could it be that you're doing it in the middle of a business day? That you might actually be impinging on my attempts to do something billable? And what exactly do you bill to "sitting on my ass waiting for the boss to figure out how to make the files prettier?"
