"Tell me a little about yourself"

Hello sports fans!

Tomorrow I interview for another job. I did fairly well on Friday but tomorrow will be another day. I really want this job. It's another night shift gig but it could lead to more. I am hopeful and nervous. When I'm nervous I always blurt out the weirdest crap. So figured this video might me important. The reason I rocked the dealership interview was because I simply didn't want the fricking job but I  (and the manager) worked hard to find an appropriate time, I figured I would give it the old college try. So, I rocked it. I even recited an ad they had yet to release verbatim. Why can't I do that for every job? Dang.

It's a great video. I laughed. But I laughed because it was true (*cue wanh wanh*). I usually try to plug my dust collecting, next great American novel that is subsequently unpublished. That and I've decided on yet another set of rewrites that I really MEAN will be the last ones. I hate talking to complete strangers and trying to pretend to be normal. It's a lot of work. 

 It was also pared with an article on tardiness. I've never been great with arriving on time. I feel a dime late and a nickle short. I could leave an hour before I have to be somewhere just by the wire. Example, I had to be at the airport at 9:30 am. The person driving me decided it would be best to leave at 6:30 am. No issue right? Be there with more than enough time to spare. Try a whole lot of "Not gonna happen," Randy did his damnedest to take every short cut and I mean every short cut to get to the airport and I literally ran to the check out counter tugged a ragged or at least a little worse for wear suitcase behind me. I bolted through the terminal like a crazy woman. Thank god that the plane was later than I was or else I was going to have some explaining to do.

But the following people have much better excuses than I did. They are as follows:

• Employee dropped her purse into a coin-operated newspaper box and couldn’t retrieve it without change (which was in the purse)
• Employee accidentally left the apartment with his roommate’s girlfriend’s shoes on and had to go back to change
• Employee’s angry wife had frozen his truck keys in a glass of water in the freezer
• Employee got a late start because she was putting a rain coat on her cement duck in her front yard (because rain was expected later that day)
• Employee’s car wouldn’t start because the breathalyzer showed he was intoxicated
• Employee attempted to cut his own hair before work and the clippers stopped working, so he had to wait until the barber shop opened to fix his hair
• Employee’s car was attacked by a bear (had photographic evidence)
• Employee drove to her previous employer by mistake
• Employee claimed to have delivered a stranger’s baby on the side of the highway'

I kinda wish I was that creative. I'm going to get up early and study good interviewing tactics.  Anyone else have interview anxiety?
