The Bloody Doors Off

Went for the interview/testing today.

The end.

No, really. I FUBAR’d the testing. It was everything I know instinctively how to do, but no matter what I tried, it wouldn’t work. At one point I closed the Excel file to try and start over, and it wouldn’t open again.

It was like taking a driver’s test, when you’ve been behind the wheel for over a decade but they ask you to drive a stick shift. And the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

And I brought my portfolio on a USB key to show I could do the job (and that I’ve been doing exactly this type of work the past week) but they couldn’t view it because they disable USB drivers for security purposes. Which I should’ve suspected and brought a paper copy just in case.

Back to the countdown.
