INTERVIEW STATUS: Complete


Please proceed to the next level.

In the next week or two, someone will be contacting you to let you know about the status of your application with the Abbotsford School District. Thank you for your application.

Excerpt: "Tell me about yourself"

"Well, I think that I have a great sense of humor..."

"Let's hear a joke then"

Oh shoot, he just asked me to tell a joke. What do I do? I can't think of any on the spot, it's more of something that just flows. And even if I could think of a joke, I don't think that any of them are repeatable - especially in a job interview. Well, I'm just going to have to smile and laugh. Smile and laugh.

"Ha ha! Well, it's not a 'tell a joke' kind of humor, just something that comes out... haha"

Oh crap, he's looking at me funny now. Why did I say that right off the bat? Why couldn't I have just said that I was really nice or something? Nice is easy - just smile and nod, but I have a good sense of humor? Now he's going to expect a regular laugh riot. What if he doesn't think I'm funny? So he'll go back to his meeting today and be like, 'Well, I was thinking about hiring this one gal but then she told me she was funny and she wasn't funny. I told myself, if this girl can make me laught= 3 times, then it's over - she's hired. I think I only managed a chuckle and a slight gaffaw so I wrote her off...

J/K! I think that it went well and I'm hoping for the best - it's in the Lord's hands now. So as I'm writing this I'm realizing how much I miss creative writing. Perhaps I'm going to have to turn this blog into some sort of little saga - like the many adventures of Missy Pumpkinhead or something like that and everyone will read it and I'll get rave reveiws and make millions and then live on a beach in Thailand drinking pineapple margaritas all day and people will phone and I'll have my people call their people and we will do lunch. Sounds like a plan. I'm in:)
