i'm not all together sure i'm the best fit for it, but i want it.

this leaves me wrecked (wracked?) with worry and fretting about all the things i should have said and done in preparation.

you see, i've largely taken what seems to be a novel approach to interviews. sure i do some stuff everyone days -- read some articles on the company/industry.. but i basically view the interview process this way:

all our lives we engage in conversations with people we know and people we don't on what we do for a living -- it's basic small talk question to ask. we are, by and large, very comfortable with this type of question and it's a smooth converstaion, be it short or long.

an interview is just the same.. it's a conversation about what you do (did) and what you'd like to do.

no more. no less.

as a result, i tend to be very relaxed and friendly.. i'm talking about something that interests me (my future) with someone who can help make my future what i want it to be.

anyway.

i got a bit of a curveball this morning.. when i checked my email, i got a message from someone i knew in high school -- yeah, like 10 years ago.

damn. 10 years. well, 12 really.

damn. that's a long time.

made me feel really good to get the email though..

i'm hoping the good news for the day continued through the interview.. and i'll be getting a call in the next few days...
