it's one peem & already a REALLY FUCKING BAD DAY
i woke up too early & took nana to national airport cos she's going to las vegas this week. no problems getting in, but i go to leave & a bus stalled out & blocked the entire exit to gw pkwy, so the only other route to take was heading to DC. i take that, get caught in traffic for an hour, get home at ten ayem. time wasted: 90 minutes.
called zeno to say hello & ask how long it took to get to reston town center. he tells me an hour - my interview is at 11am & it's already 10:20. i rush the fuck out of the house, get onto gw pkwy to 495. i take north & yeah, missed the exit. i hop back on gw pkwy & get onto 495 south. as i approached the exit, i applied light pressure to my brakes to slow down. all of a sudden my car started shaking (the tires couldn't handle the pouring rain) & WHIP my car spun all the way around, leaving me pointly in the direction i was headed. my heart stopped, like for real stopped. or it skipped a beat. i started shaking & i still am. i finally reach reston town center & i made it at 10:50. ten minutes, good. no. bad. this place is no where to be found, i go around in circles & ask multiple people who all gave me bad directions. eventually i stop at an at&t wireless store & they let me use their phone. i get directions, i get there five minutes later.
this was my third & final interview, & i was thirty minutes late cos i couldn't find the place. :| we spoke about school & i asked him some general questions, then he tells me that he is concerned with me being late & if i really wanted the job i would have made more of an effort. i can agree with him in some ways, but in others i can't cos the directions he gave me were not complete. the interviews time was emailed to me, & i don't sit here checking email every five minutes. but, no excuses. i got kind of upset & told him that i was sorry & am generally punctual - that i don't know my way around reston to save my life & that working at pentagon row, ten minutes from my house, would not be a problem. so, i think he felt kind of bad cos i was apologizing profusely. but, i guess i find out next week.
on the way home i couldn't see shit cos of the rain. people talk about galcier caps melting & flooding the earth. don't fear, fine citizens. we shall be flooded with rain before the ice caps have a chance to melt & drown us all.
god i'm in a terrible mood.
