hi fg friends!
i'm writing you because i have no analog carbon life form based friends.
i don't know how japan specific this is, but i'm an fg in japan, so here goes.
my company is shutting down it's japan operations and is closing down everything now. so i'll be jobless in a couple days or a week or so.
and there are no job possibilities for me for reasons i wont go in to except one chance one that came up.
i had a first interview two weeks ago at the japan office and passed it.
and last week i had a second interview over the phone with the asia head for an hour and passed it.
and about thirty minutes ago today i had a third phone interview with the global head.
after speaking with the global head on the phone for 60 minutes, he said "well thank you so much for speaking with me erik. i think this discussion went very well. i'm going to phone our HR department now and tell them..."
and then the phone went dead.
we have two ko-ki's, baby extension phones, and the battery went dead on the one i was using. so i did an emergency tap tap tap on the wall and said to my wife, "the battery went dead in the middle of the phone interview! quick! get the other ko-ki!!!" ^o^)/
then a second later she ran back with the second phone in her hand and handed it to me. i put it on the futon in front of me and stared at it waiting for the global head to phone me back. i waited one minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes for it to ring, but it didnt. it was just silent. he didnt phone me back.
and then i heard a small tap tap tap on the door, and my wife popped her head in and said "hanashite nai no?"
I said "no, of course i'm not talking, i'm waiting for him to phone back."
my wife said "but he was on the line when i handed it to you!!! that's why I handed it to you!!"
i said "oh no!! you should have told me!!! i didn't know!! i didn't know!!"
she said "i thought you heard it ringing! it was ringing so loud in the other room! i thought you heard it!"
and then i sad "oh no... oh NO.... OH NO!! fuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUxxxxxxxKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" and streched the UUUUUUUUUUUU vowel out about twenty five seconds so it could reverberate through every corner of the room.
and then five minutes later i thought.
"wait a second. oh no. maybe the interviewer was still on the line when i screamed the word of words, the sound of sounds."
i think there is a 97% probability that he didn't hear it because i heard a buuu buuu buuu after 5 minutes, so i think that's when he hung up. but i'm not 100% sure which was first, the buuu buuu buuu or my fuuuUUU... 20 second death scream.
so there's about a 5% probability i passed the first interview, passed the second interview, spoke on the phone for sixty minutes with the global head and passed the third interview and then screamed fuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU into the third interviewer's ear for about twenty seconds.
just wanted to tell someone.
good night!
