Interview Adventures

So the other day I had an interview in the morning. No big deal - 9 am isn't that early! I got up a little earlier than usual and was getting ready, had a few extra minutes before I was planning on leaving (eg, 30 min) and decided to print the directions. I open the email up and scan it, noticing that it says to arrive by 8:15 am. I look at the clock on my computer: 7:30. AGH!

I made it from downtown LA to El Segundo by 8:13 am. In rush hour traffic. It's probably some of the worst, "typical-LA" driving that I have ever done and it's something that I feel guilty about. But I made the inteview and I thought that it went well, so c'est la vie.

The guy asked me if I had any other interviews coming up; I told him that I sincerely hoped that this was my last week of interviews. It's strange: my plan at the start of the semester was to look for jobs for about a month, have a few offers by Thanksgiving, and make a decision by Dec. 1. At this point I was assuming that something would come from JPL and as long as Matt was staying in LA I would just take that and continue along my merry way. I suppose we all know what they say about the best-laid plans...

I have my third interview with a company tomorrow morning at 10 am (yes, I checked the time!) - wish me luck!
