I mean... I feel happy and relieved that I have an explanation of what went wrong with that interview.
I feel very annoyed that she came out and (totally unprompted by me) looked me in the eyes, smiled, and said 'you did really well'.
Was the idea... 'This person has no social skills so it is okay to lie to them?'
The connection is more important than the content. That is it. Just like personal training. Just like physio. If x is wrong with you and the doctor could figure it out by doing their job... People would rather have the doc who didn't figure it out because they weren't listening particularly, they were too busy looking and smiling and laughing (appropriately) and connecting to actually think about the symptoms...
And while one might think a range or variety might be important there is hatred for those who actually do their jobs properly... For making others look bad.
I suspect I'll end up in science.
Who knows.
I need to stop jumping to conclusions / making assumptions. Especially now... After telling the girls across the hall to be quiet on no less than 2 occasions in the past 2 hours.
They are kids. Honestly... Emotionally... They are just like those 13 year olds chattering constantly next door. They aren't considerate flatmates because... They are children. FFS.
