I hear you on that! It's like catch up and stall...
I wish you the best of luck on the interview. May I suggest a little PubMed time with a few wnt review articles? You're going to wow them anyway cause you are brilliant in your non-stoned state, and even if you weren't he's already created this position for you... which says something.
Yeah, lots of PubMed. Also he told me I need to know the protocols for embryo sectioning and fixing . . . I got a couple online, and Dame said he'd walk me through what he's done with brain. I actually really would like to impress Dr. H.
I totally understand what you mean, about working at a braindead job and wondering if you can do a smart job anymore. I feel like I'm in the same boat right now. I got a call back from World Publications, sent a few e-mails back with the guy I talked to this morning, and he asked me my salary needs.
I hate that question.
How much do I want? $100,000 a year of course. What? You don't want to give me that much? Then what are you offering. Oh, upper 30's? Well WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL ME!
I actually asked for $47K/year. For a managerial position, in Orlando... I couldn't afford to live on much less. But I suppose upper 30's could do. But then I'd have to move, I can't get my house that I have ready for December that I could make $30K on by just buying and reselling... *sigh*.
BTW, your interview technique is amazing. I wouldn't have hired you for a job at McDonalds with that. LOL.
Yeah, salary "needs" crack me up. I've never had to state what I wanted to earn though. Except for once, when I went to a really busy restaurant where people had to wait ages to get in, and I said "I'll do magic tricks for the people in line to entertain them!" and they said, "Okay, for how much?" I just stammered "Ummm.... $20 an hour?" and they agreed. I was like, 16. I had no idea what to say, but that turned out being some really good money.
And yeah, bad interview much? Especially when you really need to be a cutthroat gunner to get anywhere near the faculty of medicine. I don't know what this man is thinking, I tells ya.
I just emailed some random prof at Villanova who's looking for someone to collect some seaweed and send it to her in exchange for $125. I'm all over that like fleas on a dog!
great interview chica. Really hit the spot there :) Good luck with getting the job.
now I must run to hire a violin player. Would you like to play for me? I'm desperate!
and i'm sure you can handle smart work still. i'm a full time musician...the other day i forgot that the world was on a tilt, causing it to be winter in brazil, and i forgot that 10 x 50 = 500. so i think you know where that puts me :/
Sorry . . . I haven't touched a violin since I was seven. And even then, I was more interested in my teacher's comic book collection than her teachings.
*Fun fact: There is a picture out there of me playing my violin naked at the age of four. It is located in my mother's house, and not a visit goes by where I don't try to steal it and burn in to a crisp.
that interview is fucking priceless. I love it. Well, all things considered, if you were hired stoned without even trying, I'm pretty sure when you actually try and give a shit you'll be in good shape m'dear.

It wasn't by chance Dr. Robert Downey Jr. was it?
