Days Twenty-three & Twenty-four

Wow, I am really bad at keeping up with this!

Day 23 - Most awkward first impression you feel you’ve ever given
January of 2007 I had a sinus infection. I was put on antibiotics for it, and then I got a call asking me to come in for a job interview. I said it was a bad time because of the antibiotics—I was feeling really ill from them and would not make the best impression—but somehow this girl was able to convince me to come in. I remember feeling very woozy and disgusting by the time I finally got to the place; it was within walking distance so I guess my walking while on the antibiotics made them kick in faster or something. Anyway, I could not for the life of me figure out ways to answer the interview questions! They were really nice, the women interviewing me, but while I was all drugged up—I believe I even said that I was drugged up—I felt like they were purposely trying to make me fail the interview with their questions about my previous job! I just remember a whole bunch of “I don’t know”s and even “I’m not sure how to answer that question…” It was the most humiliation I remember ever feeling, when I left that office. And then that afternoon I got a call saying I got the job. To this day it’s actually my favorite former job; they are a design and marketing agency in Downtown Long Beach, and maybe it was just because we knew the job was temporary (because my then-fiancé and I had already purchased a house in the SF Bay Area and would be moving into it maybe five months later), but I loved it so much.
