sperm swimming upstream
That's what job-hunting competition feels like. I am one of millions (ok, realistically, probably hundreds, but it might as well be millions) of teeny-tiny organisms rushing to score every time a job opening is published. What are the odds I will be the one to penetrate the great ovum-company, the one destined to thrive and finally bring home some bacon? Every time I get an interview the odds go way up as others fall by the wayside, and yet there are always a few alphasperm just ahead of me.
Today I had another interview with a nice, solid company. Looked boring as hell, really, but I kept reminding myself to keep my focus on what I want out of this, not on the pain it will cost me. Really, the people were very friendly and it wouldn't be all that bad, I'm sure. Good sign: within 3 hrs of leaving there, they called me back for a second interview next week.
Maybe this will be the one.

That was great! What a funny analogy- you really had me laughing there.
GOOD LUCK!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you, uh, penetrate this one!
Well then, may you get your pro shag! Appendixes crossed, as always!!! [And you, my dear, are an Alpha, no doubt abt that. Trust me, that's my field.]
