The Couch 150: Ceci n'est pas un couch

My therapist suggested I watch comedies and asked if I could think of any. I said the only one that came to mind is Breaking Bad, but some might not think of that as a comedy and she was....IT'S NOT A COMEDY.

I can't sleep (dental procedure earlier, painkillers now wearing off). So I am watching "Inside Out," courtesy of Info's loan.

I am three minutes in and wondering, how much longer?

I just watched Inside Out this week too, woah. My partner thinks it's a good way to teach teenagers about emotions.

I would very much like today to be over but my eldest in a school revue and I need to stay up late to pick her up.

hey couch. well i found out today why i didn't get the new job i interviewed for awhile back. my sup got some feedback for me. apparently it was solely because i suck at interviewing. they said they liked that i am trained and skilled in high touch clients and even our super-high-touchest of clients, and that they very much need someone with those skills, they like my enthusiasm for our new system, and my near-perfect attendance, they said i have a great attitude combined with great metrics, but that because i was nervous in the interview i was not chosen.

Yes I am a tad bitter. I have everything they want and need but I don't interview well so therefore I suck? I suppose I don't want to work for a supervisor like that anyway.

I told my h that I was honest in my answers - it was a behavioral interview and maybe a couple of my responses did not perfectly match the question but i could not think of a particular situation that had come up that DID so I answered the best i could honestly. My bitter side hopes they chose someone who lied their *** off in the interview and made up 'perfect' situations out of whole cloth and that they fail spectacularly in the job as a result.

But I won't admit to that at work.

Oh well. Maybe I'm just meant to keep my butt right where it's at making my just-under $17 an hour plus bonuses. That's not a bad hourly wage in my part of the country. And it's unheard of for call center work here - although we do considerably more than 'typical' call centers, but still, it's a call center. I really think I would be good at the research thing though.

It's their loss, right?

It is their loss, art - but it doesn't sound like the problem was your answers, but that you came across as nervous. That can be fixed - I have had that problem in the past.
