most embarassing ever...EVER!
u know how sometimes ppl want to know what the most embarassing moment of your life was? well, i just had mine. and in this blog i shall announce it to the world.
remember how i was being paranoid about the interview? well, i was paranoid, but i didn't do anything about that. i didn't research the agriculture industry in alberta. i knew nothing. abso-fucking-lutely nothing. this is probably the first and only time that i'll swear in the blog, so enjoy it. but yeah...they asked me a ton of 'knowledge' questions on the alberta agri-food industry and i knew NOTHING!!! i hadn't done my homework. i have about 50 reasons to rationalize why i didn't do my homework, one of the top ones being that i don't really want to do this job. but that's really not a reason...it's an excuse. about 3 questions in, i felt like saying, 'ok that's it, i'm not going to talk to you anymore because i really don't have anything intelligent to say. thanks very much for your time and patience with my stupidity.' but i didn't...and i didn't cry about it...i'm actually laughing about it, but it's a lesson learnt for life to never do an interview without prep regardless of whether i actually want the job or not. it doesn't pay to make a complete fool of yourself in front of ppl u don't know. at least i will never see these ppl in my life. i don't know what i would have done if something like this happened face to face...thank god for the phone. (total about turn from my last blog abt phone interviews, i guess, but whatever...)
on a more positive note, i lost 11 pounds since i last weighed myself, which was over 2 months ago. i need to lose 4 or 5 more to be where i think i should be, about 14 to 15 pounds to get to where i would like to be. there's a slight difference between the 'should' and the 'would like' but i don't have the energy to explain why.
time for me to send a hi-i'm-stupid-but-please-forgive-me email to the alberta folks.
