Tomorrow and Tuesday I've got a job interview I really, really, really, really want to go well. On the short list; only two others hoping the exact same thing. Spent the whole weekend preparing. Wonder how it'll go. Wonder how I'll manage being fatalistic, waiting for the word. It would be a good job I think, but I sure do hate the process ....

In any group of three, at least one will be crazy. Assuming it’s not you, and assuming the potential employer is capable of recognizing craziness (and does not find it attractive), your odds just improved to 2:1.

Some major assumptions there … but thanks for the thought, anyway!
