Its casual friday IM IN FLIP FLOPS AND A TANK TOP! I want that job so bad too it would be a HUGE increase in pay with benefits. Im freaking out!! So I get off in 7 mins and am supposed to go for an interview. Please pray for me!!

How awesome - that is exciting!! Good luck and when you first walk in, just make little joke about it being casual friday!!
 
LOL!! That happened to me before.
 
gOOD LUCK - WHEN WILL WE HEAR IF YOU GOT THE JOB?!?
 
If they are as spontaneous in offering a job as they are as asking for an interview....she might know right away!!!
 
Good Luck!!!:D
 
Good luck.
 
I once landed a job right across the hall from my old job. It was a little weird for awhile, but no worse than my ex marrying the guy next door.
 
Really, KG, I think the ex thing is weirder :eek:

Or is that more weird?

Either way, have you ever noticed how weird the word weird looks when you type it? Or is it wierd? No ... I don't think so ....
 
It's worse if you're wired.
 
Now that could be a shocking experience ...
 
You guys gave me a real jolt!
 
What a charge! You all just brighten my day!
 
I'm starting this again - sort of revolting.
 
So, what about the job?????








...and I am just shocked that KG would hijack another thread...well, not really...by the way KG, I waved as I passed by your area over the weekend (both times). :)
 
I had to read KG post twice, then realized it was KG who posted it!!
and the ex wasn't someone's husband. Hey! it's Monday and my mom and inlaws have left after spending NINE days here!! I'm still a little frazzled :)

Actually, I had a pair of closed toed shoes in my car luckily, I changed before I went and wore a sweat shirt over my tank top. Still not proper interview attire but it worked I guess!
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! It was flip flops and a tank top right???? :)
That is AWESOME!
 
Oh... I posted that while you were too! I hope you can begin your new job right away!
 
Excellent! And it was a hiring of convenience. Saved them postage AND phone calls :p

Hope you like the new job. Do you get to dress casual?
