Second interview.. I hate the Mass Pike..

Today I had the second interview with Comcast and I think it went very well. I will know around the end of the business day tomorrow if I got one of the eight positions that are available. I like that this company doesn't drag their feet when it comes to filling positions. Some companies take weeks to call back and weeks between interviews. One thing I hope is that they don't call if I didn't get the position. They said they'd call if I did, so if I don't get a call it is understood. I think it would just be unnecessarily awkward to have to hear that I didn't get the job and say something corny like "Well thank you for the consideration." Screw that, I'd rather not get a call at all. I like my chances. It appeared that I was the first interview of the day at 11:30 AM and they're only doing interviews on two days. How many people could they be interviewing? Not too many I hope. Only time will tell. On the way to the interview today I hopped on the Mass Pike (I-90) that essentially goes from Boston, MA to Seattle, WA. The portion of it in MA is the Mass Pike, in NY it's the NY State throughway or some crap, and so on. Well as I was going east on the pike I was running late and received a hefty speeding ticket. The limit was 65 and the state trooper said I was going 87 ($220). I don't believe I was going that fast, but I was speeding. I'm going to fight it because I have nothing to lose. They could reduce it, the officer may not show (as was the case with the ticket in VT), or I'll have to pay the full amount. It's worth a try. In my defense all I can say is that I was running late and lost track of my speed. I wasn't purposely going that fast, it was just a reaction to the importance of the interview to me. Until tomorrow.. --------
