interview

The Interview:

It started ok. I did my homework. Reviewed the most popular interview questions. Made some questions to ask them. But then the technical guy got there. OOOH boy. I tried my best but he would say "yes thats right" even when I'm pretty sure I was wrong. So that got me killed. Then there was questions on system administration, which killed me. oy. After that the CEO came in, or co-partner, and he gave me a history and asked me if I had any questions. I asked a few but the interview went on for like 1:20 and I could see the first guy was getting antsy so it wrapped up around then. On the way out the first guy told me I did OK interviewing and that I shouldn't be worried about my future if I continue to conduct myself like that. THEN, as in after, he said you'll probably be hearing from me again in the future. yeah, when you say you're sorry you can't help me out. Also, the job pays fairly poorly in the first year, but you make up for it in experience, so its kinda like an internship I suppose. I'm ok with the low pay for education it just means I'll have to wait another year for all that cool shit.
On another note, the Men's Warehouse sucks dick, at least the one on route 1 in the mercer shopping mall. I went there and got a white shirt and a blue tie. The shirt was picked out by the guy working there and the tie was picked from a table of regular length ties. I get it home, try on the shirt. Neck, Check. Arm lenght, check. Room for my other guests, check. WTF, I could fit another person in the shirt with me. Next, the tie. Tie it up and ooops way too long. Try again, still too long. So I take it back and the lies start rolling. First I get "maybe you tie the tie wrong" then, "Its a standard length", THEN "oh sorry its an extra long". And about that shirt, "OH yeah, thats how they are, you just have to tuck it in the back, see...", he says showing me the back of his shirt. Uh, ok. Then why do I have shirts that fit properly at home if thats how they are? Dick. So I pick another tie from the table, which after the first one all suck, and goto JC Penneys to get a shirt that fits. The next day I put the tie on and go into the bathroom and the fucking thing looks PURPLE. Its a wonderful color shifting tie. Blue in some light, PURPLE in the rest. DAMN YOU MEN'S WAREHOUSE!!
