Ack, job interviews can be horrible, especially when you get off on the wrong foot or are just having a self-conscious day. It doesn't mean the next one won't be better, though!
Given that the job isn't something you'd like to be doing, I'm not sure if I should wish you luck for getting it! But I do wish you all the best in getting a job you'll enjoy doing, whether this one or - more likely - one that suits you more. :-)
But I want to say one thing: Babe, please don't worry about not being eager to chat with strangers in a tense situation like a job interview. That is not at all an unusual thing; in fact, I bet that not all of the other three women were really feeling as chatty and social and eager to connect with the others as it seemed. They might have thought it would make a good impression, might have been trying to cover up their nervousness...
And no matter what, not being aggressively extroverted and/or eager to engage in small talk is *not* the same as not being good at making friends!
I'm feeling a little better about the interview a couple of days away from it. I definitely think I did better at it then I've done in others and hopefully I'll do even better next time.
Thanks. I'm not sure I want the job. Part of me is kind of dreading the thought that they will call me back.
I got the impression that at least one of the other girls was as nervous as I was and was talking to calm her nerves.

I know - 3,000 calories is ridiculous. It tasted good but not worth all that. And the carbs and sugar content was ridiculously bad as well.
