Well, should I've lied??
Well I had a job interview today, the job was fairly simple. It is related to what I'm studying now, but it is the easy side of it. I have been to many job interviews and I have heard all the possible questions. I actually have a couple of answers to every single one of those questions. Well the question that shut me out of the deal was:
Alright Mr. MLS where do you see yourself in five years??
At this point I gather my thoughts in about half a second, I give my million dollar smile, I inhale and answered it the best possible way I can... So of course I said, I see myself being a lawyer and so on and so on, I told them my plans of working for a year then getting accepted to a law school, I was more elaborate then that… As soon as I finish answering the question I said to myself damn, what the hell did I just say... When going for a job interview, the employer is looking for commitment and I had just told him that I'm only good for a year. I should have just told them what I actually thought, I should have just said that this job is the most pathetic job I have ever interviewed for, why don’t you just cut the crap and give me the damn job already, or I could have just lied straight through my teeth but I know better then that… Well I'll see how everything goes, I mean I never know I could have just been so good that they overlooked at my answer.
Going back to Monday night though I was suppose to write this Monday night but I was a little faded to write on here so I wrote later: I haven't been out in a long time as a matter of fact I haven't even drank alcohol in a couple of months, well some of my college friends and I went to a restaurant at the town to catch up.
Well as usual I arrive fashionably late, find the table where all my friends are at, greet everyone there then go straight to the bar to order my usual Belvedere martini with three olives. As usual I scope out the scene for potential ladies that attract my eye. I saw two ladies sitting at the bar by themselves, to make it more obvious I try to order my drink right next to them so I can take a closer look. I sit there for about 3 minutes to make slight eye contact so they notice me. I look away soon after not to make it look like I planned it all, I sit there and I get inpatient because the bartender is nowhere to be seen. I go around and get a hold of him, I order my drink and go straight to my table. Little do those ladies know is that, I have just planted a seed, and I will build up on that. I go to the table and talk to my friends for a little while; as I’m talking to them I wait for my opportunity to go back to the bar to get to know the two lovely ladies. Soon after my opportunity arrives, one of them stands and I assume that she is going to the restroom. She leaves her lovely friend at the bar all by herself. I finish the rest of my martini and go back to that same spot that I had originally made eye contact. To my luck there is no bartender there so I sit patiently waiting to order my drink, so of course here is my chance, so I start to make little conversation I find out her name, where is she from and who is she. Well they are both sisters and have recently moved here from Tampa Florida so far so good, I order my drink and keep asking her questions… well her sister soon comes back and I get to know her also, well I was out of questions to ask them, I begin to get nervous, I wanted to ask them to join me at the table but my fellow engineers aren’t so charming with the ladies. I was stuck, so I did the next best thing, I bailed out. I said nice to meet you both and you ladies have a goodnight and went on about my business…at least I didn’t make a fool of myself. Pathetic, how pathetic was that, I could have done better then that. Well I was disappointed at myself. Looks like back my pathetic single life… well besides that, the night went well. I probably won’t get to see one of my good friends anymore and I’m going to miss him. I’m glad that I got to see him for at least one last time. He just got a job with a good company and he is moving out, I am sure he is going to be ok. Well I better get to bed; this is getting kind of long.

Humm...I don't really know what to tell ya, even though I've been through this myself.
