I hate being under this much pressure..

This job interview thing is dragging on.  and on. and on.  I'm so frustrated I could scream.

I've been stuffing around at work all week because I've been in limbo over it.  I've never experienced this type of interview stress before.  I need some more irons in the fire so I don't feel so anxious about it.

The second interview involved a trial in the office for a couple of hours, which the guy who rund the business did not stay around for.

Anyway, he has said that he is happy with my skills etc but he feels he does not have a picture of what I would be like to work with. So he wants me to have another trial half a day. He asked me some pretty tricky questions and told me that he felt he needed to break past the facade.  (Hmm…  it's an INTERVIEW.. I'm supposed to be acting PROFESSIONAL) Anyways, I'm cranky that he didn't stay around for the first half day and now wants me to do another half a day.  I have to make those hours up and it makes for a very long week.  He should have stayed for the first "trial" time I was there.. or made an alternative time if he couldn't make it the first time.  What a waste of my time!!  And now he wants me to do it again!! :(   Tempted to tell him to get stuffed.

I can't keep taking all this time off for trials. I've had two interviews with this lot so far, one of which lasted 3 hours.

I don't know what to do. I asked for the contact details of their last office manager, called her, she said "yeah, main dude procrastinates." Sure does!!

I've never had this many interviews with the one company in my life.. it feels like I'm being strung along. I think the bottom line is that this guy recognises that I'm good but feels intimidated by me, and isn't sure how that is going to work.

AND I have an exam tomorrow.. AND tomorrow is baby making day.  Not that that is likely to happen with all this other crap going on.

I'm seriously feeling over my life this weekend, I want a new one.  Where do I resign????
