I couldn't sleep the night before my interview. The night before I didn't look at the slide deck... I didn't really "prepare" as the normal me would have prepared. I sorta just figured "if I don't know it by now..." and that's what I went for... that was, until my brain popped on somewhere in the middle of the night and I proceeded to wake up every couple hours or less thinking "What the hell am I going to say?" Around 5:30 I got up, looked at my computer and planned to spend a couple hours "studying" but that lasted 15 minutes and I went back to bed.

The day before my interview I went and bought some new shoes. I only had 3-4" high heels with me and I thought it wouldn't be smart to be wearing those on a 7 hour interview day. So I cruised by Nordstrom's and bought some 2" pumps... The shoes began to hurt before the second interview... and I formed nice blisters all over my feet. So after my 2nd interview and then the presentation, my 3rd interview asked me to go for an interview walk... thinking a stroll I readily agreed... but the stroll was an hour long walk... which I enjoyed except that every step I thought my feet might fall off and I still had 2 more interviews to go!!! Needless to say, by the end of the day, I could not wait to take those shoes off and my feet haven't felt the same since.

The interview went well. I think I did fine and we'll see what they have to say. I'm not 100% sure about the role, I need to think a bit about what I learned yesterday and I need to hear salary and scale. The whole package though is going to require consideration as this big software company, well, they are world respected for their benefits package.

I think I need some coffee today... it sounds good.
