I actually nailed the interviewing, but issues about this company are going to keep me from taking the job.
Today has been like Friday the 13th instead of Friday the 1st!
(It also is my un-Anniversary, but I actually didn't have much time today to dwell on it! )
First I get to the interview to find out the manager just left to deal w/their customers. I was kept waiting for 3, yes....3 hours!
He did have others to show me around and I can somewhat understand that the customer comes first. But all the others were just sitting there telling me how great the company is doing. (so why are they having customer issues that took 3 hours to resolve?)
This of course led me to get stuck in all the Friday traffic jams of Chicago. And as soon as I get out a ways, I try to call the kids to let them know I am on my way home--my cell phone battery is dead. (completely and no recharging will revive it!)
I get a bit farther and almost to the state line, less than a couple of hours from home and WHAM......
I blow a tire out!
well, lucky for me, I do know how to change one, and have a decent spare and a skirt on to boot!
Of course, this is my Friday the 13th, so the only help I get is a roadside emergency guy that would have been much better suited to being a plumber.... if you get my drift!
I finally make it back home after being gone for 13 hours just to hurry to Walmart and get a new one before tomorrow's trip. (and noticed they don't stock my cell phone battery at this store!)
I think it's time to write this day off and start a new celebration next year. But I will wait until then to figure out what to celebrate. Maybe it will be the day to get my tires checked before I'm making any trips!
