Stupid

Today was the interview with Microsoft. I wanted this job. I screwed up the interview. I have no chance at this job. Dammit. I'm going to be kicking myself over this for weeks, especially after the rejection letter comes. I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail I fail.

It was such an easy technical question too... but I just couldn't get it. I havn't had enough experience with manipulating ASCII characters. GAAH!

I'm just no good. And when I am good, I'm just not good enough. I'll never be good enough.
...
*watches more people make posts about having more internship offers than they know what to do with*
*wishes he could be good enough for even one company to hire*
:(

Edit: I'm feeling better about things now, at least. The Fog Creek interview went very well (I got the question, more or less, after a bit of prompting to simplify my solution). I also found out I got a 100% on my 312 midterm, which means I'm currently doing very well in that class. And, on top of that, I'm now on Spring Break, so I'm free for over a week. Yay!
*sigh*
I still regret screwing up Microsoft, but Fog Creek seems more interesting in some ways... less structure, but more personal and you have a bigger role in product implementation. I mean, I was interviewed by the company founder himself. That's pretty neat.

Hi, would you mind to share the question asked by Microsoft?

Internships Sminterships. Who wants to work for the corporate machine making coffee anyway?

Do something creative. It looks more impressive on a resume. By creative...I don't mean card games ; )

Also if you have any experience with SQL, ORACLE Database 10g or any other database management platforms...we need to talk.
