had a 3rd interview at a hedge fund today. it was via video conference to the states, but the guy that was supposed to interview me couldn't make it so he got someone else to fill in for him. she kind of got told at the last minute so didn't really have much prepared so we just chatted for about 25 mins and that was it. she then said that her boss would still like to interview me and that they would call me in for a 4th interview. i was a little annoyed. 4 interviews for the same job?. i have been through this shit sooo many times. i am not even sure exactly how much money they are paying but it had better be a lot!. :-)
the guy i sit next to was a little pissed off because i told him that i needed to take a long lunch and that i had cleared it with the boss, who has been away from his desk most of the day. he just looked back at me with a dirty look and said ok. he was annoyed because he likes to go to the gym in the middle of the afternoon for an hour or two and this would mean he would have to stay and man the phones and systems, as there are only 3 of us scheduled here this afternoon. anyways, i just got back and guess what?. he has gone to the gym anyway and left one guy here on his own. its not busy but its still not the right thing to do. very poor showing indeed.
anyways, with regards to the whole employment situation i feel positive and relaxed, despite 4 interviews for one job. i have a course in a couple of weeks time and i also have one week holiday coming up as well. my contract ends here in december and then we are out of here and thats a good thing. i did what i had to do and now its time to move on and so something i want to do instead of 'have' to do. 2008 is going to be amazing......i hope/think.
london is grey today. am going out in shoreditch with a bunch of friends tonight.
today i have mostly been listening to david grey - babylon.
take care.
