-sigh-
Yesterday I woke up at 1am, did my morning rituals, and drove to work. I get to the office a little before 7 and settle in. The company has a quarterly meeting that I don't feel it apropos to attend because it's an hour of grown men measuring their metaphorical sales dicks, in which two of the guys in my same service line who do considerably less proven-by-any-metric work than I do get a recognition/award for internal service. Good job, guys.
I then attend a series of four meetings in a search for the person to take on a bulk of the work I've been handling. Candidate one is sharp, inquisitive, and clearly interested, but doesn't fit the "look" the company is after. Candidate two is in a word: excitable; the right buzz words cause his eyes to enlarge and body to actually lift from the chair. Candidate three is a no show. Candidate four is disengaged and uninterested. A wrap up with the president reveals they're no longer concerned about their original requirements as long as I think I can work with them. Great, if only this information didn't come after nine prior interviews, three of which I could easily have seen myself working with. Wasted fucking time in an already busy schedule.
I leave at 3p to then drive to the next days' office, and reach a hotel a little after 6p, then go buy new shoes because the ones I had been wearing all day pinch my feet in a weird way and are starting to come apart, then go eat because all I'd had up to then was a pack of peanut butter crackers, three small packs of nuts, and enough coffee to change my blood type from A+ to Colombian Dark Roast.
The night finished out alright I guess whatever I don't want to say it was nice because she'll read this and get an even bigger ego or some shit.
