recapping.

so, the interview went well, once i got over my quivering fear of squaring off against two men wearing power suits (something about men in shoulder pads just alarms me). i was too flustered to give a coherent answer to the "so, tell us about yourself" question, and i didn't get to spring out my perfect answer to the "what is your greatest weakness" question. but, i did get to walk them through my portfolio, and i did get to reveal that i'm simultaneously ridiculous and resourceful: about five minutes in, they asked me if i'd seen the website. i said yes and started chattering away about it, and my thoughts of how it could be improved...

never mind the fact that i was chattering about the wrong site. whoops.

lost ground there. fortunately, i got it back when they asked me how i'd ended up on the one i'd seen. i said my phone had cut out when the guy called, so i'd only caught his name, and not the company's. so, i did what any self-respecting web-jockey would do: i googled him and matched up the addresses. they liked that. anyway. it went okay, though it was short. they did ask me to send them my thoughts on the site, so i sent a seven-point manifesto with detailed explanations of why and how certain things could be changed. i'll find out what they thought by friday--they want a quick hire. which would be great for me--the notion
of handing in my resignation on the very day my boss returns from maternity leave is almost too irresistible to entertain. plus, there are rumors that they're moving the whole department to palm beach, which means layoffs.

so, i'm sure you understand why it is that i am so desperate to get out of here? ironic justice aside.
