Maybe We Should Shake On That

From my buddy Ronia at The 100 Day Season:
Listen you! You better update your blog!!! I'll be blogging in less than 3 days!!! You better get blogging my friend! Make me laugh .... I need to laugh!
Sorry about that. I've been interviewing the past couple of weeks and I've been a little stressed out.  I generally do ok with interviewing but I have had some mishaps along the way.

I remember one interview I had many years ago when I was moving from the medical field to information technology. To my surprise, I knew one of the woman in the office. We hugged and kissed on the cheek as old friends do. I interviewed with two or three people that day. I was happy with how things went and was fairly certain I would be offered the job. I walked back to my car , all pleased with myself. I got in the car, buckled myself in, and looked in my rear view mirror before backing out of my parking spot. Then I saw it. My friend in the office wore bright red lipstick and apparently thought I needed some as well as she had left a big red lip print on the side of my face. It would have looked ok if I was interviewing for clown school but it wasn't such a good look for your typical office.  I just wish I hadn't worn such big shoes that day.

That would be exactly the kind of person that I would hire! If someone else loved you, I might, too. Not to mention a woman with a kiss mark on her face is kind of hot.

I feel your pain! I once left an interview sure I clinched it when I looked down and realized that my pants had been unzipped the whole time.

Hey Sinnerviewer - Aren't you a sweetie. I never thought of it like that. That makes me feel better about the whole thing. Thank you!

LMAO Trinity. That is too funny. I mean, I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but it is giving me a chuckle now. Sorry you had to experience that!

CJ, when I was younger and just starting to use the internet there was a mad scramble for a dixie cup used by a certain hot actress that had a lipstick mark on the rim. Nowadays they would just put it on eBay. I know you can't put people on eBay but a lipstick mark really adds curb appeal anyway!

You've been missed.

And I was sick and tired of looking at that ugly building.

LOL!

Hey Blondie - Yes, I got the job. But I hated it and quit after two weeks.

Hi OC! Thank you for the well wishes. All this looking has made me a little weary.

Thank you John! I know, that building isn't too pretty to look at. Hope I didn't permanently damage anyone's eyes here.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
