The computer is so fast, now. My ultimate litmus test? I convinced it to play Sims 2 with me. The old computer would play it, but it lagged a lot. Two months ago, this computer would have had a nervous breakdown if I even waved the disk at it. Now, however, I can play like anything. I did that all day yesterday. It was awesome.

My second interview at the bookstore was last Thursday. I don't think it was a very good interview. I was kind of flustered, because I couldn't find the right room, and ended up showing up at about 10:31, just as the guy came out of his office to look for me. I wasn't technically late, but I wasn't sitting calmly in a chair waiting for him, either.

I could have answered all of the questions more thoroughly. As I was driving home, I thought of about a hundred things I had neglected to mention.

I haven't heard anything back yet. Sigh.

Maybe I came off better than I thought I did. After all, they wouldn't know it if I didn't mention something. I made a few jokes, and they laughed at them. ("Where do you see yourself in five years?" "Working in a bookstore." It's the obvious joke, of course, and not particularly funny, but if they hadn't laughed, it would have been a little awkward.) Rijid said the most important thing is that I expressed myself honestly. I did indeed. I projected an air of confidence. Yes. Yes, I did. Maybe it's just taking them a while to check references and such.

Monday, I'll call them. Maybe Weds. I'm a little afraid to call, because then I'll know for sure that I didn't get it.
