Need a break
T asks if I like to go for a play this weekend. I am not sure it is a good idea to hang out every weekend, knowing the way I feel. I decided to cook up a excuse. I think taking a break is a good idea.
Beside my hesitancy about meeting too often, I am really feeling tired from all the drilling questions about who I am, what are my strengths and weaknesses, my future aspirations, my past experiences, family background, values, personality, etc, etc, etc. The constant selling of myself to perfect strangers. It is like someone trying to dissect my mind into different parts and me trying to pierce together different parts of me so that they will like what you see.
Social Animal?

Work I interviewed for the position I was very interested in this morning. I made a blunder. Quite a obvious one. But, I think I have a reasonable chance for the second round of interview because of my experience. I get the feeling that the interviewer is quite neutral about me but she does have some reservations if my personality suits the job.
Why?
Because the job requires a vivacious character who enjoys entertaining and socializing. The money is good. Very good. But, entertainment is part of the business. It is part and parcel of bringing in the business.
I have to admit I have my own personal reservations too. Of course, the remuneration is tempting. But, I can anticipate my stress level is going to be high in such an environment. The work stress is only one aspect of it. I can probably adjust to that. My main concern is the entertaining part. I have never been a party animal. I can be sociable when the occasion calls for it. But, I won’t enjoy the entertaining scene as a regular part of my life.
I have a feeling this is not the life I am seeking.
Anyway, it is not time to ponder since this is only the first round of the selection process.
