Bob (1) Children's Hospital (0). Optimistic Pessimism. What's the deal, what comes next?

I am Harry Dunne (baby blue suit) Children's Hospital interview is Lloyd Christmas (orange suit).




That sums it up nicely I think. I didn't overly prepare, that usually turns out bad. The last thing i want in an interview situation is for my answers to appear scripted or rehearsed. Honesty is usually the best policy, and it worked in my favor today. I really think she (the interviewer) felt i was over qualified for the position in some way. She kept asking me if i was sure this wouldn't be a step back, and if i was prepared to take a level one position. There was no doubt in her mind that i was capable of doing the job, but she was just stuck on the notion that i wouldn't want the job. It was weird. How do you answer that at a job interview? Are you sure you want this job Bob? No, not at all nice interviewer lady, i would hate to make more money for less work. The thing that gets me is the amount of money they are offering for the job it is literally ten to thirteen dollars more per hour than i making now! For the kind of work they do it just seems too good to be true, and every time Ive ever seen that scenario it usually is. I suppose it is for a Hospital and their computers and hardware are helping to save lives, so if you look at it like that its very important which means they need quality people and they need to pay them accordingly. I have a foot in the door, but its a long road ahead. I have to interview with two more people, not really sure when or if i will meet with two people at once or what. Only thing i can think of right now is Op-Ivey "all i know is that i don't know nothing". Patience is rewarded i suppose. OK more on this later.


NEW PRESIDENT?


I haven't seen a knock out like that for a long time, it really was a landslide. This comes to mind..


Now, don't get me wrong i am by no means a political person. But, for now you have to realize that no matter who the president is the world will go on. There will still be death and taxes. The president is never going to be able to fix everything that is wrong with this world, they will never have a cure all. All we can do is hope that they point us in the right direction, it is up to the people to make change, that's how democracy works. I'm not going to tell you who i voted for (mind your p's and q's buster) but i will tell you that i think Obama will do a fine job. The entire world is looking at us now, waiting to see what happens next. Time will tell but his message was pretty simple, if you missed the speech here are some highlights.
Obama:

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
**************************************************************************************
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

I liked the speech, and i hope he delivers. Enough politics for one day i think.
