Sick and have a job interview
« on: March 14, 2011, 08:11:02 AM »
I barely have my voice back and am weak as a kitten. This is going to be an interesting job interview.

Most employers would understand given the circumstance but mite overlook you for the next candidate. I say suck it up for 2 hours and make the best of it to make sure you got yur foot in the door. Or tell the interviewer yu finished a full week at mardis gras with the girls gone wild crew.  8)

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Interview went well. These guys are the 3rd largest online retailer of motorcycle parts and accessories. Pay isn't the greatest but it's better than not being paid. They did mention a very nice employee discount though, which is always nice.

Good to hear it went well. Could be a good thing with parts discount and think of the contacts you could make.
