The informational interview I went on for the UA tech editor position was interesting. I don't think I'll be called back for a formal interview loop, because the hiring manager admitted that they are looking for a senior editor - someone who could mentor a junior editor. I probably could do that, but it would be a stretch.
However - the very helpful hiring manager told me about a group that is forming (that I already knew about, and have been in contact with the head god manager guy), AND gave me another contact name for that group to talk to. Time to write some email and request another informational. It's the group I want to end up in (heloooooo downtown office!), so having the name of someone who will be involved with the writer/editor hiring is of the good.
Because I'm a sucker for these sorts of things, I followed a link someone posted to the Colorgenics site. After going through and clicking on spinning colored cubes, I got:
Is it that you are working - or even playing - too hard? Because it would seem that you are experiencing a great deal of pent-up emotion at this time which could possibly take effect and lead to irrational behaviour.
You need an atmosphere of peace and quiet and you would like to share a bond of understanding with the 'right person' - you have the belief that with the right person, your stress and anxiety could be minimised.
You lack confidence and that is a great pity because deep down you are indeed a warm caring person. This lack of confidence is making you wary of being drawn into any open discussion or conflict and so you feel as if you should let matters lie and leave well alone. But there may be a pleasant surprise in store for you. You are beginning to grow and very soon - sooner than you believed possible - this warm loving new you will be available for all to see and to appreciate.
You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.
Huh.
Goodness, that is accurate on a couple different levels. "Pent-up emotion leading to irrational behaviour"?
(I know what sort of face The Husband is making at that. Stop it.)
Hmmm ... lack of confidence ... Do I want to talk about that? Nope.
