Which I UTTERLY AND SPECTACULARLY BOMBED. fml

what kinda phone job

Did you tell him what you were wearing?
-
Yes, I was wearing a -3 cloak of complete inability to write code or reason about problems or speak coherently

is ulillillia your idol

In retrospect, probably a mistake.

It was on sale at Macy's

Wouldn't this be a good thing though? Like if a +3 cloak of stealth adds three stacks of stealth to you, wouldn't this cloak be removing 3 stacks of complete inability to write code, etc., better enabling you to do those things?

Father Mike?

I am not capable of evaluating this proposition as it would involve logic and critical thinking!

Maybe it's -3 to the base stats of a cloak (defense? flamboyance?), besides carrying the debuffs to coding, problem-solving, and speech.

Without which -3 the clock would have allowed me to take this failure in my stride, mention it to no one, and continue on my unflappable way!

Reflecting a bit, I'm actually happy and sort of excited about the situation now. It would have been disappointing if it were really that easy to get a job as awesome as either this one, or the one I interviewed for in person at Amazon. Even though I think I did fine at Amazon, and assume it's just due to either one of the interviewers randomly not liking me or another candidate being amazing that I didn't get the job, I know that if I'd completely aced all the interviews - like I did for 1 out of 6 of them - my THAC0 would've ensured success in the face of all but the very lowest of d20 rolls. And even though I think I could've done way better in the phone interview for Windows, if my brain hadn't decided to lock up on me, the truth is that the problems were simple enough that if I had REAL badass engineering chops I could've solved them effortlessly even while in a shitty mental state (not to mention if my sleeping and eating habits didn't suck I wouldn't be in such shitty stats so often). So these experiences are just telling me that (1) the jobs I really want aren't that far from my reach but (2) I need to seriously step my game up first. CUE TRAINING MONTAGE :punch

Good luck in the training montage. I can link you some good YouTube playlists for energy and inspiration.
