Me = Nervous Wreck

I just got back from a two hour job interview. It ran so long because it wasn't just me, it was me and seven other people they were interviewing all at once. The job, working as a Mac Specialist at the local Apple store. I want this job so bad, I can't even tell you. I'm a Mac addict, I've been using Macs for 21 years now (figured that out the other day when I sent them my resume). But it's not just that, all of the seven other people I interviewed with were people I'd love to work with (not to mention the two people running the interview). I mean, these were the most awesome people. They were interesting creative, and all of them seemed to be hard working and not slackers.

The good news is I should know by tomorrow if they want to hire me or not, and they're hiring several people (I'm not sure exactly how many). And if I get this job, I will fall down on my knees and thank Steve Jobs for the iPhone, because usually they aren't hiring, because very few people leave Apple. They only hire when they are expanding, in this case because they are about to be in the cell phone business.

Luckily in a few minutes I have to go look at an apartment, which will distract me for a bit. Then it'll be running to check my computer every few minutes looking for the e-mail that tells me I'm hired.

Good luck with the job. Sounds like fun for you.

If you get it, ask them why the hell their 17" notebook doesn't have a full size keyboard with number pad like HP and even Dell. I need a new notebook and would buy the Mac if it weren't for this. I find it hard to believe HP has better designers than Apple.

Thanks, I did get the job, and you have a good point. I have a 15" notebook, but i probably would have bought the 17" if I could have gotten a built in keypad. Don't they know how useful keypads are?

Thanks so much. I'm still vibrating from all the good vibes and the job they got me. And I'm mezemrized by your icon. I could watch them kissing all day ;)

Good luck. I'm rooting for you!

Thanks. I got the job, so it must have helped. And your icon reminds me that I need a new ipod (I still have the very first model). Maybe I'll get a nice employee discount.

Hope you get it. I love Macs. My nice new OS X 10 is so great.

Thanks, and I did get the job :) Yes, I love the mac. Hmmm, maybe I now need to make myself a mac icon.
