Really?

I got an email tonight from TFA and.....they have invited me to the final interview. Wow. I was more than shocked. There is some poor kid on the east coast sobbing in their dorm room on their Ralph Lauren pillow case and I beat them...weird. This thing is about as hard to crack as a petrified walnut and my crappy interview and candid answers on their stupid internet crap impressed them enough to let me in. Go figure. This is the one thing that I have really put on the back burner and have cared the least about and I really am in awe that I have made it this far. I will say that I am proud of myself for beating out some snotty kids who wanted to put this on their resume to Goldman Sachs, but who knows how it will go. This is pretty much a crap shoot and they may think that I suck in person. I still just want a job and if they can get me there faster then so be it.

Oh yeah...another reject as of recent was from MidSouth Bank...."we had a large applicant pool and we have found others whose resumes more so meet our needs at this time"....blah blah blah. If my resume said GED and manager at Burger King for 2 years I would have been hired. This over/under qualified thing is starting to bug me. Even my father commented on the fact that he never thought it would take this long for me to get a job...me too Dad, me too.

Today I introduced Stacey to Hot Pot and it was OK. Obviously the Hot Pot in Xi'an was amazing and amazingly cheap....Little Sheep here cost us around $50 for 2 people and in China it would have been around $8 bucks with way more veggie and meat options. Alas...we are not in China anymore. I got a $10 off coupon valid through March 31 if anyone wants to go with me...any takers...crickets...crickets.
