Remember when I wrote about that horrible job interview that consisted of 10 guys, some with Russian accents, screaming stupid questions at me for an hour and a half? Well, yesterday afternoon I got a letter from that company. It was a thank you for interviewing and notice that I was not chosen. No duh! “You possess a very good skill set and an impressive work history. Unfortunately, we chose a candidate who has a similar skill set, in addition to significant experience in our business sector.” No, not UNFORTUNATELY, very very fortunate. I would never work for a company that conducts interviews in such an evil manner. Can you imagine what it would be like to work there? Ugh!
Looking through the Sunday paper I found that the Rotunda will be screening 2 great movies this week! Last Year at Marienbad and Hour of the Wolf! I have never heard of the Rotunda but I will be there Thursday to watch this fab double feature. Trying to find a little more information on the Rotunda, I found even more cool movies playing in Philly. The Cinema (Between 39th & 40th and Walnut) is playing Even Dwarves Started Small (By Werner Herzog!!!!) and Santa Sangre on May 19th. Good stuff! I hope I remember to go to these movies. Heck, if I remember, I hope I am not so terribly exhausted that I decide not to go.
Tomorrow and the next day I work in NYC. I look forward to the opening of the Philly office. When I signed on for this job I never imagined that I would be working from home or commuting 2 hours each way to NYC and back. I don’t mind working from home since that’s how I spent most of my last job, I guess I was just expecting more of a change in environment. The thing is, I HATE working from NYC. The office is loud and I find I have a very hard time concentrating. My calls don’t go nearly as well because I think the prospects can tell I am struggling to hear and be heard. I also know people are listening in so it’s difficult for me to feel at ease and free. When the Philly office opens, I will be the only salesperson so I just hope there will be a place where I can sit and work that is private and quiet. We shall see. Hopefully I will start feeling more comfortable with this job. This transition has been tough for me. Maybe it’s because I had it so easy for so many years or because I am not used to such drastic change in my life? It’s too soon to say that this job is not for me. I know I need to give it time. I keep telling myself that after 6 months, that’s when I will know and can make a true decision. It’s really not horrible, please don’t think that’s what I am saying. It’s just different.
