Anyone failed an interview and got an offer?

Had my interview this morning for a micro day shift position. I love micro, but I'm a micro trained generalist so I didn't have high hopes coming into the interview.

Last night, I had to stay late was our Cobas decided to crash just as I was about to leave and the new grad on night shift didn't know how to troubleshoot it. Ended up not getting enough sleep for the interview this morning.

I got asked about what plates we use for certain specimens. As I'm not in micro every day, I almost always refer to the SOP instead of having it memorized so I don't get it wrong. I think I got some of the things wrong in the question.

Then for some reason I forgot to tell them that I did AST as well when the manager asked for my experience, though it was listed on my resume. I was just so tired so I may appear to be not enthusiastic.

At the end, the manager told me he's moving me forward to HR. I'm just so disappointed in myself for my interview performance.
