ooohhhhh...the things we women have to go through. I think my change of life cycle is starting - maybe a little early. I’m beginning to have a harder time concentrating and some days I get really tired and irritable. I'm up--then I'm down. Sometimes I forget things. Just go blank. Today is one of those difficult days. I keep trying to concentrate and get things done but the hormone thing is really getting to me. I had an important teaching job interview this morning and I don’t think it went too well, mostly because I felt so run down – not at all like my normal self. Plus, the main guy interviewing me was a tough one – he wanted looonnng, detailed answers and a lot of specifics about my teaching choices, the kind of teaching material I would use – blah, blah, blah. I can normally handle those types of questions. But not today. It was really hard to outline how I would deal with certain students, and so on. It's hard to even pretend to focus when my mind just wants to kick back and my body's whacking out. I think I could have told a woman how I was feeling, and she probably would have understood and made some allowances in the interview – but definitely not this guy. Even on a normal day he would have been really tough to deal with. I got the impression he wasn’t all that impressed with my answers either. I must have seemed so out of it. It was a little easier to be interviewed by the second guy. He was more laid back and that helped me relax and focus more. I don’t know if I got the job – but I’m not holding my breath. I know it’s personal, but any feedback from the ladies would really be appreciated….
