So this afternoon I had an interview for a clerking position for this semester.
I got all gussied up (actually that's not entirely true... I did not wear lipstick or eyeliner and I did not tease my hair or spend any time in velcro rollers. Hello! I'm trying to look professional here!)
I put on a suit dress and button down shirt (no jacket, everyone at the firm dresses pretty casual), tights, and heels, and got in a cab to head downtown. As I sit in the cab on Lake Shore Drive, I realize that I have a HUGE run up the back of my tights. Awesome.
I semi-panicked for a moment because I didn't have enough time to go home and put on a new pair of tights, and it's not like I could take them off and go bare-legged (bare legs in January in Chicago? Even hookers in Chicago wear tights this time of year!). So I just sucked it up and went in to my interview with a run in my tights.
Luckily my interviewer was wearing jeans and a sweater (told ya it was casual), so it was no big deal.
And, much to the dismay of Legal Diversions, I got the job. I'll be starting on Thursday. Guess you weren't quick enough to "steal" this one away from me.
Snagged tights be damned.
congrats!!! and tell legal diversions to blow it out his ear. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Elle - thanks for visiting me and leaving such a lovely comment! It's always nice to meet another Dane - although I scrolled down through some past posts and couldn't see a photo of you. Do you get to post on your humans blog sometime? My human really enjoyed reading your human's post about her interview - it was very funny and well-written! Congratulations on her new job!
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Congrats. Can you start looking for a job for me now?
ReplyDeleteBtw, "button down" refers to the collar of the shirt, not the front. A button down shirt has a collar with buttons (and is not meant to be worn with a tie).
Congratulations! Don't even let that person get to you.
ReplyDeleteWhoo Hoo! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteyay! congratulations! don't even let that creep into your life at all. as someone mentioned on twitter, he probably got the most hits EVER yesterday. he's a freak.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I'm thrilled for you!
