Phone interview today. I thought I had tanked and tanked spectacularly

I was about to say "well, you know what...screw this" when she said I was on to the next stage

Likely will not result anything (government job and I definitely do not fit the groups they need for quotas... I am male and my ancestry is where white met bread) but I can think on the fly again

I thought I had lost my wits (I mean quick mind, not 'lost my wits' as in an archaic term for being crazy)
