Too Flippy

 
The condo is super-mega clean, I was so busy yesterday. Checked e-mail only later.

If, on very short notice, I would be available for a job interview with Alstom.
Read 12:05, received 09:something ... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Phone, number, phone number!!!!
I called back in panic.

The lady from ESE laughed.

"Not THAT short!!! Calm down", she said, "I would never expect anyone to be on such a very short notice - it´s tomorrow at 01:00 p.m., if that´s OK for you 😉".

By golly. One day... heart attack due to something like that.
At least I got many a laugh on this always flipping for anything straight away, also from Siemens.
"Keep calm" must become my motto.

Ohhhh. I feel sick.
Their site starts in French - my French is oooooold.
Luckily they expect English.
Place would be Braunschweig or even working from home.
 
A job interview on a Friday. That´s pure torture!
Maybe, come Monday, I just stay in bed?

It would be railway again. And they sound so interesting, I WANT this job!!!

The more I want the job > the more nervous I get > the higher the chance I blow it.

Be still, my heart, be still...

At least you even understand an inkling of French, I took it in high school but I was sooooooo bad at it.

You won't blow it. Take a deep breath, hold your head high and march in there just like you did with Siemens. Good luck.
