Here's a joke about what happens when you don't apply MB principles:

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife, so he went to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home. He had finished the book by the time he reached his house.

The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"

"The funeral director," said his wife.

It took a bunch of e-mails to the administrators to get my identity back. but it was worth it. I'm gonna roll out of my offic for the day. So tired. So bummed. Dark circles under my eyes and a job interview tomorrow. They've been so weird about it that I think they have someone in mind. Yuck. I'm going anyway.

Here's my take on the interview:

They acted really wierd when I called to respond to their letter. Really wierd.

(Now remember this is in state government so some, but not all the usual procedures are followed and there are specific other procedures that have to be followed in order to fill the position.)

They have to request a register (list) of qualified candidates, contact an appropriate number and interview an appropriate number, then hire from the top three or five eligible, interested candidates.

I'm thinking they have a person in mind for this job. I'm just practicing for the next interview. And I'm making my boss mad because she can't refuse to let me go for an interview within state gov't and she can't charge me leave so I am on the clock but not being productive. I could offer to take leave but I probably won't because she's being such a female dog. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> I fully expect her to demand that I bring back a note from the interview stating that I was indeed there.

Last interview I went on, she talked to me afterwards and told me how lucky I was to be working in her office because she could offer me the opportunity to use a flex schedule so that I coculd take my son to his counselor appts. Now she won't let me flex. I don't give a rodent's posterior about a lot of her stuff.

Anyway, I got the initial letter and called to tell them I was interested. They told me they didn't know when they would be interviewing but they would get back to me and tell me. A couple of hours later, the woman called and told me that my interview would be the next day at 2 pm. I told her that I could not be there as that was not sufficient notice to give my supervisor due to office staffing needs. And, anyway, I had a prior committment away from the office. So, they called me back and told me that my interview would be Thursday at 9:45. Never did ask if that would be ok.

I think thye know who will be getting the position. I also think that I want them to promote their current Personnel Analyst 2 into that Personnel Manager 1 position and then consider me for the PA2 position as I have been one of those for 5 years in a past worklife and have permanent rehire rights for that position and they could hire me without the hassle of working a register. (That is part of how I got the position I have now.)

So, I expect it to be nothing more than practice.

Plan on wearing a black dress with black tights and shoes. And a red blazer. With my hair put up.

Gotta go and tweak my resume.
