Interview drama


Ok ...so i had a job interview today, and the day started off a mess but ended just fine.
1. I couldn't find my black pantyhose that i just brought, and anyone who buys pantyhose knows that you cant just pick up a pair from the bodega on the corner.
2. I found a pair of brown pantyhose still in the wrapper.....now where the hell is my brown pinstripesuit? Crap it is in the cleaners. Ok...brown pantyhose with my black suit new, pantyhose once i get into the city.
3. Had to stop in Ann Taylor to get pantyhose....only the best you know. So why is the lady in front of me unaware of how to sign her name on the screen to make her purchase. i want to grab the pen and sign for her. Almost threw the money on the counter, instead i decide to put the pantyhose on and pay after. The lady gave me a funny look but what the hell.
4. 1 min late for interview, raining like crazy and I have a shopping bag with me....ok... so there was a sweater on sale that i had to have.
5. Things start looking up! The guy is running late himself so I can stash my bag in the closet with my coat and not look like i was late because of my little $$$ habit.
6. Interview goes great... we run over the time. He says he'll speak to HR about $$$$.... actually $$$ cause he is offering a little less than i want but still more than i make. That is a good sign.
7. I am back in the office and should be returning phone calls but updating my blog instead! Cross your fingers for me! If i get the gig i am going to do something really indulgent...any suggestions?

    Wow, daily insight into the mind of an Oyo. The internet is truly an amazing tool.

    Good luck, Bing. Whenever you're around DC-way, celebratory lunch on me. Not dinner, I'm still cheap!

  6. Hey you! I finally logged on. OK, I guess I like the blog. Do you think you can keep it up? I think it is really great that you are close to a new opportunity. As you know, I am in the market too, and you really have to brush off those "I am great" skills to do interviews.

    I agree with Enilolobo - save, save, save!! (But of course one nice treat like that bag you've been dying for.)

  8. naah, don't pay lesley no mind...leave that bag you've been eyeing right in the damn store window. you have more than enough already. (trust ur big sis ...--i have at least 4 walk in closets plus half of my garage full of material belongings collecing dust. how many bags that i don't wear, and shoes and grown folk toys that were all little treats to myself). oh wait i tell you what, you wanna shop? come out here to MI and go shopping in my closet. cuz at the rate ur losing weight you'll probably fit most of it.
    ...and i know you & Les went out this evening...running around behind my back. shame shame shame.
