Scary, isn't it? The first one I knew I rocked, the second one I knew went halfway decent, but the third? Well, even though I was there, I still don't know what happened.
We started off by discussing how I got started in the office and what originally prompted me to pursue the field of criminal law. My answers were solid and I was happy. The conversation then turned to my affiliation with Mensa. Mr. Boss-man suggested that the group was made up of a bunch of fuddy duddy's who got together to discuss relevant social and political issues over expensive cigars and snifters of Brandy (I immediately flashed to that one scene in Titanic). I had a solid response to this also. He then asked if I was familiar with the DA website and I told him that I was. He asked about another website, excapingjustice.com, which I had never heard of. I suggested that he write it down so I could check it later, and quicker than I could shoot myself in the foot the man replied, "Well you're in Mensa Ms. B Lawyer, you should be able to remember that." (Ouch. Baaaaaaaaad answer kiddo.) The Chief Deputy then asked me what I did to prepare for the interview upon which I disclosed that I had researched the two of them online and had talked about their history with the office with several of my bosses. I ran through the Chief Deputy's entire background, which I'm sure he was at least somewhat impressed by, and then it was Mr. Boss-man's turn. When we got to him I told him that I knew he lived by my parents (and me of course) and he proceeded to give me directions to the front door of his house, warning me that if I walk by with my dog on Sundays I might catch him out in the front gardening or washing his car. I was so stunned by this that I completely lost all track of the conversation and I'm sure I got this baffled look on my face and/or turned bright bright red. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE INTERVIEW FROM THAT POINT ON!!! The last thing I remember was the Chief Deputy giving me the boilerplate about hiring. Then I stood up, shook their hands (with yet again, the clammiest mo-fo's anyone's ever seen this side of the Mississippi) and said, "thank you for the interview" before quickly making my exit.
Ahhh Christ. Knowing me I said/did something absolutely retarded, or just stupid enough to not get hired during my momentary time lapse. I swear, I can't take me anywhere.
Update: I just heard today from one of the DA's that he heard Mr. Boss-man told a law clerk that he frequently washed his car in the buff and she should come by and check him out. Next thing I know he'll have some secret love child with said law clerk. Talk about a game of telephone!!!!!!!

Dude, I know what happened...you NAILED it! I am positive. When do you find out??
you got it don't worry
and the buff comment, that sounds like sexual harassment
Ha, what he actually said couldn't have been farther from sexual harrassment. Funny how things get interpreted when people have bad information. :)~
And H, I find out sometime in, as they said it, "the first full week of Feb". Aaaaaaah, all this waiting is killing me!
Oy - I'm sure you aced it but I'm still anxious for you.
I'll be continuing to think good thoughts until you find out.
The suspension is driving even me nuts, I can't imagine how you must be feeling now.
