Time Waster Central

I have an irregular schedule when it comes to posting on my blog. Anyways lets summarize what has happened since my last visit:

[1] Job interview

So I applied to the ERCB in October of 2008 and didn't hear back until this past week. The ERCB is short for Energy Resources Conservation Board and they are a government agency that regulates the flow of oil and energy within Alberta. What I would be doing at this agency is network and do tech support stuff....fun fun!

First off let me emphasize the fact that I am not punctual even though it says so on my resume. A fine example of this is that I was nearly late for THE interview HA. But I ran there in my suit and dress shoes and if I could see myself I would say, "boy oh boy what an elegant and majestic sight! Look at that man so determined!!"

So I get there 5 minutes before the interview sweating and gasping for air. Check in at the security, get my security pass, set off every alarm I pass through, ride the turbo elevator, check in with receptionist and wait.... I swear they make you wait to psyche yourself out.

ohkai so finally after 15 mins or so waiting they get me in a room with a panel of 4 very intimidating people and they started to explain my duties/benefits if i were to get the job.
They are one of Alberta's top 40 employers and I didn't have to work for them to know why.
They offer flex hours and flex days. Which means I can make up my own schedule. All I gots to do is come in anywhere between 7am and 5pm and work my 8 or 10 hours and if i do work more than 8 hours than i can accumulate these hours to take a day off hence flex days. =O ZOMG dream job I'll never be late because in their eyes I'm always ontime MUAHAHA. Next they have gym in the building and I get to travel. By travel they mean within Alberta but still... One of the interviewers said that i would travel weeks at a time and that i really work 2 out of the 5 days I'm away. WTF is this a real job?!

After all this they started firing questions and me left right and center and it was all based on situational and behavioral questions.

Examples are

1. Tell us a time when you were disappointed.
What I wanted to say: When I did not get what i wanted for christmas
What I said: Blah blah blah something work related

2. Tell us a time when you took initiative.
What I wanted to say: When I went out to buy my 50" plasma beast of a TV and Xbawx 360 waddup!
What I said: *Shoots Bullshit out of mouth

3. How do you deal with an angry client?
What i wanted to say: Are you serious?
What I said: uh something along the lines that made them drop their jaws yeaaahh..

In a nutshell I think i did well however I'll only lose the job if someone is more awesome than me. Oh well...
