Geez, what a day. Yesterday I had a job interview and here is how it affected  the interview I had today. Today: They asked me questions. Nothing I wasn’t expecting. My mind was fuzzy ‘cause I was...are GREAT answers!  Not serious, but great nonetheless. Too bad I didn’t use any of those. Those answers describe people I know and know of.  But the rest of the diverse populations HATE ME.
