The train has left the station

We so often hear the expression the train has left the station. I so often think of the expression the train has left the station as I did this morning trying to catch the train for a job interview. It had indeed left without me on it making me late for the interview. Maybe that would explain why I didn't get the job or i kept hearing the receptionist outside the office where i was being interviewed hiss under her breath " Sid Vicious".

Or, Maybe it was because I kept calling it a company after she told me "it's a cooperative, not a company. "

It might have been because i kept calling her a manager after she told me she was a partner.

Whatever it was, the train had left the station.



Catching the train is not always so easy.



And when you do finally catch it, make sure you're going in the right direction as i did not do when I hopped on the wrong metro. Must get out at next station and get back on the one going in the other direction to make job interview no 2.



My favorite question in a job interview is always 1) How do you deal with stress? and 2) How do you feel working for 10 $ or 8$ an hour or however much they are offering.

No 1) the answer is simple: valium - I never actually say this

no 2) I don't like it much but what can you do? (I never say this either) I usually then start to act out like a 6 year old.

There are things we often don't say to each other's faces. In my case, it is the train has left the station.

Job interview no 3 involved a questionnaire. It needed an overhaul.

I'm still looking for a job.
