grueling interview

the interview was grueling. and I'm glad it is over with. I didn't do horribly but don't feel I made a stunning impression. It was a panel interview and they had a list of questions that were very elaborate. I have to admit it was hard for me to think fast enough to describe my experience in the way the questions were worded. I was prepared for the standard line up of questions like Why should I hire you, Tell me about yourself, What are your weaknesses...but the questions about medicaid billing, third party insurance, and accounts payable threw me for a loop. The original application didn't list the exact job description so I had no idea what I was walking into. I have a feeling this panel was part of the screening process, and that if I made it there will be more interviews ahead. Anyway I am zonked.

too irritable or stinky

totally excited! got a random call this morning for a job interview at Eastern State Hosp. in the reimbursement department. I have no idea if this means insurance reimbursement or accounting reimbursement. And I am kind of freaking out because I haven't interviewed in three years and have put so many applications out there with no responses that I feel like this is the only interview I will ever get...which increases the nervous factor.

Summer, my least favorite season, is dragging on and on. I hate sweating and feeling all sticky all the time. Andi and I tried the Jamestown Beach last week...it smelled like dead fish, looked like a giant ashtray, and was filled with the obese and little debbie snacks. Andi sat on my favorite sunglasses and broke them. I still have that dollar tree pair from her childhood dress up box that I can't seem to lose of break, but every time I get a pair I love they last 2 months tops...less if I spend more on them.

Van is in the shop again...getting the AC fixed. I guess Ara decided I was to too irritable or stinky make me wait much longer without AC.
