horribly difficult

I cant believe this. I pass the Microsoft test, put the logo on my res, and 3 days later I get a call for an interview.
That is the good news
Well, during the interview, I get slammed all at once with a mid-range hit. No rampup, no warning, just BAM!
Luckily the interviewer was looking away when I got hit, and did not see me jerk back in my chair.
I managed to get thru the interview, (how I dont really know) and was told that he will be calling me in for a second interview next week.
I hurt enough that I am not even sure just how good the job is, but I have time to inquire later.
It is not the job I have been wanting, but it could very well be a better paying job. I just dont want to go from a job I hate to a job I wont like.
I hate when I am whiney like this.
I have something to show you guys shortly
talk later

Lance, it's OK. You get 3 whine sessions per year and then you need to renew your whine license. 
So what you gonna show us?? hmm?

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

It's OK to whine, sometimes, Lance. Sorry that happened.  Maybe it'll still work out OK.
hugs and pf wishes, nani

Thats the whole point Jonny. It took every ounce of will power I had NOT to do just that. He did notice, because he asked if I was ok. But I made it thru the interview.
Afterwards I walked to my car, drove a block up the road where I wouldnt be seen by the employees there, and held my head until I could drive home.

Lance,
until you know more, believe in what Jonny wrote: the job is yours. 
I am so sorry that the beast surprised like that...  It can be sneaky! (I recall freaking out one professor, when I got hit in the middle of a feedback discussion about my essay.)
I believe that good things are coming your way, though.
Best wishes,
Sanna

Not to worry you'll get the job. The hit was probably brought on from the stress of publicly admitting you have a MCSE Cert.

Even at the same pay rate, a job you "won't like" is better than a job you "hate." With the former, you can buy some time.

You know you hate the job you have, so it can't be any worse. I'm about to do the same thing. I am applying for a job I don't think I will like, but I hate the job I have. Maybe by the time I'm 60 I'll be happy in my job. Something to look forward to.
I'm practicing for my last job......."Fries with that sir?".or maybe ......."Welcome to Wal-Mart!"
