So I have this job interview tomorrow. Well, today, technically. No good vibes needed--it's for a crappy adjunct job; all of my others the interview was basically to make sure I presented as more or less sane, and when I showed up bathed and dressed and managed to refrain from responding out loud to the voices in my head they had me fill out employment paperwork right then and there. So there's not a lot that could go wrong.
But anyway, it is a good idea to be awake and alert for this kind of thing, so I was pleased that I managed to get myself on a being-awake-during-the-day kind of schedule. Except today, to maintain the this schedule, I got up at the crack of noon and went to a matinee of the new Harry Potter movie. (Good. And--I realize this is not an original observation, but--damn! that refreshment stand is expensive. I paid $3 for a bottle of Dasani. I wanted skittles, but they were $2, for a regular bag like you can buy at the grocery store for 55 cents.) The problem came when I decided to lay down and read for a bit after the film. You probably know where this is going: woke up at 2 AM, having slept for seven hours.
So, yeah, I'm now presented with the choice between going to the interview after having been up all night, or after having slept for close to 20 hours. Either way, I'm sure it's gonna work out just great.
