Sunday night I headed over to Millbrae, because the next day I had 2 job interview type thingys. The first one was at 9AM at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco. I WANT THAT JOB! It's awesome, right across the street from the Embacadero center thingy, and there's a BART station right in front of it. There's a BART station right around 6 miles down 280 from where my new place is, and Millbrae is even getting their own BART station in a couple months. Sure beats driving and paying for parking and fighting traffic.

They said they will give me a call on Wednesday to let me know how I did, I was among 3 other candidates chosen for an interview. Considering the amount of unemployed tech support people applying for jobs in the bay, being 1 of 4 made me feel pretty proud of myself. I hope I get it, it's exactly what I am good at and exactly what I want in a job.

Interview number 2 was at 3PM, and ugh. It wasn't exactly an interview. It was more of a screening test to see who is lying on their resume or whatever. It was at EA Games in Redwood City, around 15 miles south of Millbrae. The job sucks, it's a customer support position where I would be doing phone support to people who can't figure out why their game won't work. It pays very little, has no benefits, and is a 3 month contract.

I passed the test in, and I quote, "flying colors," and they want to see me again tomorrow at 2PM.

I don't want the job. I would be grumpy and pissy and I would just end up watching the clock all day, counting how much money I'm making per hour and estimating how much more in debt I would be per month. I'm gonna go to the interview anyways, hopefully the Federal Reserve will call me en route with an offer so I can go have fun at the interview for the job I won't take. If the bank doesn't give me a job, I will probably take the EA job if they offer it to me. They let you work as much overtime as you want, so that's cool.
Anyways, I'm crossing my fingers. Wish me luck.
