Third time is the charm?

I have two second interviews at Sony on the same day. I was not surprised about the IP department, but I was shocked that Product Development Department wanted to interview me again, and yep, with an admin from the department. At Sony Playstation, as it turns out, the admins run the show or they sure try to.

My first interview is with the woman in the IP department. It went ok. She was a single mom, working full-time and taking classes at night to get an undergrad degree. Gotta give it up to the single moms. Don't know how they do it and it makes me tired thinking of it. But they certainly understand why someone takes a job that they are overqualified for in order to pay the bills. The interview seemed to go well, though she definately had a different vision of what I would be doing on there than the manager did. She felt I needed to file an entire cubicle of papers before being allowed to touch her precious database. Ummmmmmmmmmm--I used to build databases, really I can handle the data entry. I choose not to mention this. I was not worried. The manager was new, the department was still forming and there was no way I was going to get out of filing some paper, even if the department manager was excited that I can run linear regressions and monte carlo simulations in excel. Though I know there will be days of drudgery, there is some hope for something interesting too. Oh yeah, and I am DESPERATE!
