Day of the Interview

I had two cars at the time. A van which allowed me leeway to jump in and change And a little tiny convertible I rarely drove. The day of my interview I opted to drive the convertible. It was a gorgeous day! I did not want to wrinkle my suit pants. So I put them on a hanger, and put them into the trunk. Thinking when I arrived I would jump into the back and change. Not recognizing that the convertible is not the van. Now here is my quandary. Change out on the street in front of three employees Or take the pants in and change there. There was one lady in the office. I hoped she was the secretary She showed me where the restroom was so I could change. A few seconds later I was put together. And she interviewed me. My new boss.

LOL…but still, you dressed for the occasion, and you got the job! You showed you could deal with a stressful situation.

It is weird but we both had the same first and middle names! And we got along great; I love her still.

She did not crack a smile, but I am sure she secretly was grinning all over.

It went okay I would have to say. She was my boss for five years until she retired.
