Did I mention that I hate interviews?
In a way, it’s almost worse when I feel things are going well, as it makes it so much harder to prepare for a negative. If an interview goes badly I can shrug my shoulders and think “Well, that’s that then, better luck next time”, but when things looking up I have to resort to hoping that everyone I’m up against are complete idiots and to try and make myself believe that that can not possibly be the case so that if I do get a negative I won’t feel too bad about it.
And I really do want this job. I don’t think I’ve wanted a specific job this much before, ever. It would be such a challenge at the same time as I am quite sure I’d be able to rise to it. And there’s a lot of familiar ground as well, so I won’t be going in blindfolded. And the people I’d have to work with all seem really nice.
The waiting is the worst part. At least they are aiming to have a decision quickly, so I should hear something in just a few days. In the meantime, I will try not to obsess about it (all right, all right, I said TRY – don’t expect me to be successful all at once here).
Oh, in case you started wondering earlier, as I did, what the Seven Wonders of the world actually were (well, can you name them?) – here’s a list:
The Pyramid of Giza
The Colossus if Rhodes
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
The Temple of Arthemis at Ephesus
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
