How did the interview go Trillian?

[TrillianAstra]

Hard to tell, they spent a little while at the end telling me how the job was going to be boring, so that's a bit weird.

[JustKeepSwimming]

Is a bit weird TA.

I once went to an interview for a job i didn't know much about and totally talked myself out of it and i listed all the things i was good at/liked doing - not need in that job and said things i didn't like to do - all in that job, doh! I would've hated it so didn't want it at all but felt pretty stupid for not checking it out properly.

Really need an energy boost today, totally lethargic...
