Vader, is that you?

I followed up my atoning with an interview with a legal type research place located in the District. This was very odd for a few reasons.
1) the interview took place at a fairly random time
2) they had the man with "the voice issues" be on the one to intiate the phone call with me. End result? Me almost blowing my interview at the start by hanging up on the man who I could not understand.
3)The second person on the 4 way conference call interview was a Brittish female. her initial question was on the pronunciation of my name. Sure, that makes sense. I mean it is phoentic but I digress. She followed up her question by mocking my name. Now because she was a cooky Brit I'm not really sure what she said but i heard a mockery of my name and her giggling.
4) Who does a four person conference call for an initial interview?
5) This place is a non profit that seemingly can only exist if they receive funding. So I'm thinking a fair question is whether they have ever lost a grant and what happened. cause I'm not moving down to DC to start a job where if they can't keep up their grant raising I'll get canned in 6 months because they can't afford to keep all of the staff. Homey don't play that!

All in all, i think it went fairly well. They said they'd let me know within a few weeks whether i got the job or not. They might not like the fact that I said I couldn't start until Nov 1, but if you consider the time in finding a place to reside and throw in the familial wedding occurring in two weeks would they rather have me start earlier and make a vacation demand for time off immediately or wait an extra couple of weeks and keep me enslaved for months before i dare ask for time off?

I got involved in a football racket at my dad's office. Apparently my 75% accuracy (damn colts not beating the spread!) impressed some of the dude's at the office. And despite my sister-in-law's opinions on football (i blame the pregnancy hormones for her outrageous commentary) me likey the sport. me likey the fact that I may finally get to use my knowledge (gracias jw) and get some moola. Cause I need a new computer and this temping gig won't be paying for it any time soon, so its time to let the NFL buy me a new laptop!
