That was it?

I can't believe how worked up I was over the testing needed for this potential new job.  I sat home doing timed typing test, I severely burnt dinner and had to take my daughter out to eat, I had trouble sleeping...I got to the testing facility about 20 minutes early, I had never received the promised e-mail from the testing guy, so I didn't have his name.  Luckily, the receptionist was nice and willing to help me figure it out.  I started the test.  It was something that had absolutely nothing to do with medical anything.  No timed typing test (thank you God!), just some weird program that no one has ever seen before and a set of earphones.  The program was supposedly a windows type (or windows based, I don't remember), but I had the hardest time getting to where I needed in it.  But, I was good with the supposed customers.  I was also fast.  I failed the test the first time I took it.  I was so bummed, then the guy told me that I would just take it again 'cause he was sure I would pass.  So, took the test again, It was the same pretend customers in the same solutions so I was able to go a bit faster.  This time when I was finished, the guy had this huge smile and says "do you see this smile, this is a big smile!"  I passed, he said that it was one of the highest scores he had ever seen.  How exactly does that happen?  you go from failing the first time, answering the questions the same way, still having issues with the soft ware, but somehow, magically, now you have a super high score?  Totally crazy!  So, now I have a job interview next week!  Yeah me!
