interviews, 2.11.25

i had an interview for a higher position at work today. all weekend i was anxious, even today, until i sat down and they began asking questions. for whatever reason, the nerves went out the window. i had prepared a 30 minute scientific presentation, but it ended up being an hour long. i think that’s a good thing. there were a few questions i fumbled on, but i tried my best so i can live with that. going through the interview process feels like i’m giving up on my dreams slightly. this 9-5 slowly wears down on your creative aspirations over time like a river does stone and i’m in deep waters swimming upstream.

i hope i don’t drown.
