My mom just went grandmombie on me
I called her to tell her how my interview went (horribly) and as soon as she picked up the phone, you could hear my nephew screaming. I immediately told her that the interview went pretty bad and that I'd just call her back in a few...her response was "L just wants some snacks but he's had enough and blah blah blah L is cute, blah blah blah, oh by the way, how'd it go?"
I was like, "It went really badly and as soon as I told you that you started talking about L!" She said she was sorry, but I mean, come the F on. Your kid is obviously upset and you can't STFU about the grandson. She does this constantly...she's worse than my sister with the baby details.
Ugh. I'm going to go cry in a corner.
Re: My mom just went grandmombie on me
I'm sorry :-(
Vent here instead!
I am officially the dumbest person ever. My mind just went blank...like totally, completely blank. I managed to come up with decent answers to most of their questions, but they asked me about a time I had to perform accounting research and I honestly could not come up with ONE example. None. I threw something together, but it wasn't good.
And then when they asked me what my strengths and weaknesses were - something that I ALWAYS sit and think about before an interview (except for today for some god forsaken reason) - I was stammering and saying "um um um". Ugh I'm such an idiot. I started talking about a strength (good communication w/management, very good skills documenting the stuff that my dept is involved in), I just started blabbering away and got all flustered. I actually used my default weakness as a STRENGTH. I realized and corrected myself, and I think I nailed the follow up question, but god, I feel like such a loser right now.
This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to audit these people after I don't get this job. Now they're going to think that I have no clue what I'm doing.

I'm sorry it didn't go well, Duff. And I'm sorry your mom was preoccupied with baby crap when you needed to vent.
I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you thought, we are our own worst critic's.
Sorry about your interview...
This is how most conversations with my parents go. They watch my sister's kids 2x per week. I hate calling these days.
I changed my name
Sorry about the double whammy, the seemingly bad job interview and the lack of focus on your mom's part. Hopefully you did well on all the other parts that it will make up for the questions you feel like you flopped on. I doubt they will question your competence at your current job, but I can see how it would feel awkward to work with them after feeling like that.
I am sure things went better than you are giving yourself credit for! Fingers crossed and I hope you hear positive news soon!!
Sorry your mom didn't help
. **hugs**
That is definitely not cool, Duff's mom! Sorry she didn't understand that YOU needed her attention for a few damn minutes and she could get back to swooning over L after that.
I bet that the interview didn't go nearly as badly as you think though.
