Relaxed. There's a job interview in under an hour, why so relaxed? Thoughts speech prepared static protest: you should be nervous. Why don't they have their address on their website? Alouettes game and Schwartz's later but it's to early to think about such things. Should have written it then but I had a job interview that I was supposed to be nervous about at the time and had to stress about not being nervous instead. There's really no way to precisely prepare. You don't know what they'll ask and if you aren't interviewed frequently you can't prepare answers for the questions you've already been asked. You're excited by what she says but remember not to cut her off. Miles Davis's music consistently progressed because he always lived in the present, constantly reevaluating and reinterpreting. I'd be more nervous if I wasn't on vacation. Elastic riveting contracted announcement: successful propaganda. Little sticks and pebbles and weeds and ants. Different sources say there are somewhere between 250,000 and 900,000 black bears in Canada. That's a pretty serious discrepancy. It's hard to learn the dialect of a language in the beginning if you're not gifted linguistically. They don't use the forms you're presented with in class in the street. It's tough to progress because you have to try and generate meaning from fragments and tone and you can never be sure if you've understood correctly and can't have your only contributions to the conversation being points of semantic clarification but need to say something so as not to appear awkward, that something that you need to say often being awkward. This job pays really well. We're not meeting in person and I like the distance. That question's too basic, that one's alright, that one, asinine. Like walking through 17th century buildings. There's nothing that I can recall from In Search of Lost Time that covers job interviews but I read a couple of pages still. In the office now waiting to be shown to my videoconference room. Someone is having their picture taken professionally. The person next to me's suit is worth more than I made last year and he regards me with disbelief. Expectations simmering, hypothetical projections reverberating, non-related thoughts presenting themselves, chair, comfortable, receptionist, cute, reaction, volatile, sure, I'll watch you hula hoop for twenty minutes, wild boar-cerf-bison burgers, should have brought some water, looking forward to the film Machete, bubbles, that's the word I was searching for, be precise yet comprehensive, enjoy yourself, poker's a good way to test your intuition, they didn't give you much time to prepare, rules, regulations, should have said "hi," you're on vacation, cataracts and seamless tact, moving towards the room, sitting down, the screen will eventually light up with 4 people asking professional life altering questions to which I must spontaneously provide well rounded incisive answers. Oscillating arguments integrated tenements hope he found his way back; you'll be on display, every syllable judged, every movement taken note of, the painting to my left is dull, wandering, investigating, inquiring, cat friends scoot past, pyrotechnics, eclectic skeptics, this job could lead to a house if I play my cards right, you've prepared and have done this before, you can't categorize objective uncertainty in this instance, the movie was good, a lighthearted entertaining romantic comedy; there's a football game later plus Schwartz's, you tried the Malédiction at Le Saint Bock, you found a place rent free, you're in a city with a theatre and a métro and it's a beautiful day. First question: "tell us something about yourself that isn't mentioned in your resumé." Deep breath, synthesize, focus on the moment at hand, and speak.
