Unemployment stories {New Chapter}

I have an interview this coming thursday. Exciting times, since it's been awfully quiet this past month. I'll be heading down to Irvine for an interview. A city which promotes itself as a planned community. The only good thing I can come up with from visiting that place a few times is that the speed limits are fairly liberal, like 45 or higher.

So, this company is flying me out, putting me up for a night, giving me a rental car. Good deal. Better than stupid Samsung. They made me pay for ticket, make my own travel arrangements. I have this sense that they're not going to pay me back. I'm flying across the country for a 20 minute interview. Can't believe it. At least I'll get a nice vacation out of it in NYC. Funny part is that this Samsung interview is for Korea. Why are they holding an interview for the Korea office literally half-way around the world in NJ? Why not the west coast? Oh well, i don't make the up the rules.

Okay, back to cramming my head with useless junk they're not going to ask, and skipping the bits they're going to grill me on. Aren't interviews fun?
