Dear Diary, Day 1

So, I'm in Houston for an interview, so I'm going to temporarily hijack the blog to fill everyone in on what I'm doing.  Cuz you care...

Tuesday, March 25

- Got up at 4:30 to make the 8:00 flight to Minneapolis.

- Arrived in Minneapolis on time, ate at McDonalds, met up with some others from Edmonton going to the same interview.

- I wasn't nervous at all until I spent the entire second flight sitting beside another candidate who did nothing but study data sheets on the company and write out answers to imaginary interview questions.  Suddenly I felt vastly unprepared.

- Arrived in Houston (with my luggage!) and was taken to the hotel by a company employee.

- Checked into my room, received a gift bag, and had a shower before the next event.

- Cocktails at the hotel (I remained sober, no rum)

- Went out for dinner with two company employees and four other candidates at Yao's, a Chinese food place run by the family of Yao Ming (?), that Chinese NBA basketball player.

- Back to the hotel at 10:30 to sleep.

More tomorrow...

Sleep well,

-DTE
