I mentioned in my last blog that during my interview on Wednesday, there was one professor that was a real jerk and seemed to have it out for me.
Well, you'll never guess what! It turns out that not only is this person a high ranking administrator at the same university that I work at, but he also happened to be at 2 meetings that I had to go to during the two days following the interview!
Upon discovering that not only does he work here, but that our offices work closely together, I immediately emailed him to ask him if he had known that we worked together prior to the interview since he hadn't mentioned it and I definately talked about what I do and where I work during the interview. I guess I just wanted to find out if he didn't know and was a jerk to me, or if he did know we were colleagues and was a jerk in spite of it. (It's not that I would have expected special treatment or anything, but as a colleague, I would have expected him to be a little friendlier or to at least have acknowledged that we work together)
Well, as it turns out, the latter is the case, and he was made aware of it 2 weeks prior to the interview. Oh well...that's one coworker that's not getting a Christmas card this year. ...well, unless of course by some miracle I end up getting the scholarship afterall in spite of him. haha
Anyway, this has been one CRAPPY week, so as is often the case, I've decided to buy myself something nice to make myself feel better. The two contenders are a new iPod (because mine is all scratched and the battery doesn't last more than an hour or two now) and a sexy new iPhone. I'm leaning towards the iPod, and not only do I get paid on Friday, but I also just got a phatty big raise, so I definately see some purchases in my future :)
Okay...gotta go in to the office now to get caught up on some stuff for Monday...yep: even on a Saturday! :(
