Lovely

So the second interview with the tech company went well. I met a couple of other employees there and they all liked me and they want to check my references but, subsequent to my meeting with them, I went on another job interview and I received a phone call from the company that administered that really difficult Excel test on Wednesday (I guess I failed it less badly than all the other candidates, and perhaps "Mooooo" was the correct answer) wanting me to come in for round two, plus another call for an interview. And all these other jobs are more appealing than the tech one.
I need to email the tech company back and politely decline. I feel bad. I feel like a tease. This whole thing is a lot like dating and I want to make sure I land the candidate with the most money and who treats me the best. Dirty.
Bumped into an ex coworker as I was getting off the seabus. I really enjoyed working with him and it was great to chat with him for a few minutes. He actually lives on the North Shore as well. He and I drank too much beer one night and missed the seabus twice, it was a pretty funny evening.
Alrighty. I had plans to go to the gym but I don't know if I can squeeze it in. Nap time?
Perhaps.
UPDATE: The recruiter that sent me on the interview this afternoon called to tell me that they liked my personality, that I was "well spoken" and that I'm "at the top of their list". Sweet. I emailed the tech company and the GM emailed back to wish me good luck and to call them if I change my mind.
