This F*cking Wait


Just like most people I hate waiting.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

Especially when I am waiting for answers concerning work possibilities!

I'm currently waiting for a mail (or phone call because some people are malicious like that) on whether or not I will move further in their recruiting process, that is, will I get to go to an face to face interview on site.

The work position is at a game company as a junior level designer. They called me for a short interview while I was at Dreamhack working night shifts, so when they called, I had basically just woken up (let's not mention that I was told they were going to call the next day so it was also a bit early). So there I am, just up from bed and completely unprepared.

So now I am trying to keep myself from turning into a mess and over-analyzing every intonation and thing that I and the interviewer said and what could be turned against me.

Was I wrong in mentioning my long term dream of wanting to work as an art director for games? But I'm pretty sure that I already wrote that in either my cover letter or my CV? Should I have said something else? Does my assignment that I made over throw it, since they said that they liked it/had a positive view of it? If my friend who didn't even know what the position entailed get to go to an interview and I, who studied and really want to work in games don't??

Because yes, I applied this position with a friend. She's really talented, but she doesn't have experience with games and on top of, she has already gotten into one of the harder schools to get into!

Can't I just have this one?

Because frankly, as much as I hope, I don't think I will have a chance at the other game studio that I applied to....

*sigh*

If I only could get that email, then at least my waiting would be over....
