No entirely random but since I don't want to post another failed online application, I'll add bits and pieces of what not.
-----
So, I got into an online interview this morning, Got an email invite yesterday and this is a work from home job which is what I'm looking for. I log in 15 minutes early and got a queue number, 27, not too bad. So I got in the interview room and was given instructions to answer a short questionnaire. No biggie, 15 questions and I was done. I type in the public hat box that I'm done with the registration form. Two hours past before I was called. There was a mix up and the recruiter was apologetic. Now, before I got transferred to the actual interview room, another set of qualifying questions were asked. Not sure if it was the universe conspiring against me but I was informed that the interviewer had to go and won't be available until next week. Oh well.
-----
Did my grocery run yesterday and I bought some cleaning products - glass cleaner, rugs, powder detergent, cleaning solution , among others. I figured I'll scrub this place clean so I can get rid of the frustration I have when looking for a second job. Love the glass cleaner. I used it already in my shower door and bathroom mirror. Will use it to clean the glass in the balcony door and the windows as well in a bit.
-----
There's a super typhoon in the Philippines. Metro Manila and the rest of the nearby provinces are under signal number 1. It hasn't rained though but it has been gloomy the whole day. Hoping there are no rains later in the evening.
-----
Lunch was egg and tuna sandwich. Made an egg and tuna spread yesterday. Boiled four eggs and mashed it together with a canned tune. Added mayo. Didn't add any salt or pepper. I prefer to add pepper in my sandwich. Same thing with fresh ingredients like carrots, onions, and bell pepper.
-----
That's it. Hope everyone is fine this Wednesday.

I understand the challenges of online application but don't get disheartened by mix up or delay some time this things happen and it is important to stay positive

@thebos true. That is why in some instances, companies encourage applicants to apply onsite.

I don't like canned tuna... Can I just eat boiled eggs?
If you want, you could come and clean here... I already have all the cleaning supplies but don't want to clean windows and mirrors.
I wish you were fine today. I'm sorry about the weird interview problems.

Knock yourself out with the boiled eggs.
Send my cleaning fee via PayPal as well as the funds so I can purchase a round-trip ticket from your place back to Manila.

@allen0187 I like chicken or egg salad, though...
You'll need to come do the cleaning and then I'll pay you before you leave. That's how it works in my part of the world.

I could eat tuna everyday.
I do my groceries every two weeks.

I usually eat scramble egg with canned tuna with toast.
I hope you are going to be okay with bad weather under signal number 1.

What an eventful day, and so sorry to hear about your interview. These things do happen, but it does not make it any better. At least they are still wanting to interview you next week, which means that they still have interests in what you can offer.
Good luck!

I understand your frustration and the need to clean. I'm glad it helped.
I've made tuna/egg sandwiches many times.
I hope the typhoon veered away.
