Normally I can go weeks without anybody asking me what I'm doing. This one feller has asked me 5 times today when I'm going to be done and what I'm doing. It's fookin' driving me nuts! Seriously, normally I am very nice but I've started responding 'Now what?'.

Just had a phone interview. guy was supposed to call at 3, I ended up waiting till 330 and calling him. He forgot there was even supposed to BE a call. I had to spell my name to him twice (It's not that difficult a name, guy), and halfway through he began calling me Josh and I didn't know how to correct him.

But I got the face-to-face interview, so there's that.

BONUS ROUND: what do I do when I show up and he still thinks I'm "Josh"?

"What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do?"

Haha I got an email from my boss the other day that said "yeah, if you could look into [boring work thing], that'd be great. Thanks."

Lumbergh did have a cool car though.

Just roll with it. When you get hired and fill out the paperwork tell him Josh is just his pet name for you. Or reject the job with a scathing letter explaining how dumb he sounds.

I can't keep people's names straight, but when I'm doing a phone interview I at least keep their papers in front of me so I know who I'm talking to.

Lol. It also turns out that the job my friend referred me for isn't the same one he does/said it was. So, there's that.....

Just... I kinda wanna call and cancel now.

He will stop doing it when you punch him right in the tallywacker next time he bothers you.

That does sound good. I had leftover spaghetti and fruit salad.

I think I might get a blt today.
