off to a job interview wish me luck. will report back in a few hours. EDIT: went well fluency wise (otherwise too). I think it helped that I looked up the company website and saw a picture of the people who were doing the interview, made it seem like more of a chat than an interrogation which helped a lot. It is a job answering phone calls for software support so that could be stressful but I made sure to let them know (truthfully) that my stutter is much more pronounced during the interview than it will be when I am in my daily routine. Stutter ranking: probably a 5 out of 10. (on a good day i would say i am a 3ish, on a bad day a 6ish, normal job interview is 7ish.)
