Signs It Will Be A Bad Inteview

1) It starts raining on your way in and you don't have an umbrella
2) The guy at the garage thinks he speaks coherent English yet is sadly mistaken
3) The receptionist looks like the whore bag receptionist you hated at another company you worked at
4) The woman interviewing you looks like Anna Wintour's younger, bitchier sister
5) You want to leave 2 minutes into the interview


Yikes. It was the interview from hell today. Apparently my interview cut into her "talking about myself" time and she needed to fill in that gap for 30 minutes as opposed to attempting to suss out my qualifications for said job. I was really over it when she asked me about a dictaphone. All I could think was had I been magically transported back to 1954 where dictaphones were relevant? Apparently, I indeed had.

What really made it especially bad was that I couldn't tell for the life of me what the fuck the women was thinking. Half the time I thought she was thinking I was perfect for the job and the other half I felt like she wanted me and my non-Ivy league ass out of her office. I mean how do you go out of your way to make a company sound elitist to a prospective candidate. To be honest I really feel as if she did not want me because of my educational background. She didn't care that I worked directly for some of the biggest names in the finance world and they had no problem with my pedigree (if you will and I know you will because you have no choice).

She just made me mad. I hate feeling as if someone can judge me based on where I went to schools. I got into better, more well known colleges but I chose the college I chose based on the environment. Honestly everyone knows that the majority of Ivy League schools aren't even giving you a better education you are paying for the name. Assholes.

Here We Go

Well tomorrow I have an interview. The first one after a whole summer of searching for a job. My recruiter thinks that this is going to be the perfect place. I suppose I will be the judge of that. I'm nervous but not about the interview. I'm nervous that the place is going to be stuffy and too corporate and that I'll go in and people will suck or my boss will be a first class schizo like at my last job. I would like to have a decent work environment for once in my life. The shine gets off the penny pretty fast for me so I'd like someplace that I'd actually still want to be going to every day in 6 months as opposed to wanting to stab myself in the eye with a rusted, dull fork.

Keep your fingers crossed kids!

BTW - New York & Co (the clothing store) has totally redeemed itself in my eyes (as if they've been sitting around waiting for me to approve). I needed a new suit (riddle me this Batman how is that I've lost weight and yet my old suits don't fit from when I was heavier?) and New York & Co was the only place in the mall that sold suit separates in colors other then black. So me and my navy NY&C suit will be rocking out with our theoretically cock out tomorrow.

Thankful

A few big things to be thankful for:

Italian restaurant offering wheat free pizza, pasta, garlic bread and cake.

Having a waiter at said restaurant slip you extra cake to go

It has been YEARS since I've had an Italian meal out and I literally wanted to eat everything on the menu. I can't wait to go back and get one of their paninis. I believe we have a new obsession here kids!

Seriously? Really No One Wants Some Pie?

What has been the accepted norm is that girls under size 6 get the choicest pieces of apparel while the rest of us flounder. People who make clothes need to accept that women come in all shapes and sizes and heavy women don't want to disappear they want to dress well just like anyone else. What's worse is that the clothes they make in larger sizes are just an expanded version of a size zero sample – bastards. They never have consideration for body shape they basically give a size 12 a giant size 0 and gals wonder why clothes look so bad on.

I think what they do is deplorable. Models should eat and all be at least a size 8. I think if designers had any talent they would love to dress curves. It's easy to make something look good on a hanger but on a real women THAT is a sign of a real gift. It's just a big joke. In this country of abundance people starve themselves, why? In other countries people would kill for the availability of food we have. We really only accept one standard of beauty because it has been shoved down our throats. If all of sudden designers started making larger sizes proportioned right and began using models that looked like real woman we would all change our mind about what is beautiful. Fashion and style are not unobtainable anymore. Practically every woman can look fashionable and sophisticated without a high price tag. This idea that fashion is not for the masses is antiquated and frankly stupid.

Hot designers now design for Target for God's sake. That's high fashion for everyone. It's time we saw all of that reflected. I'm personally starving for real women. I want to hear magazines tout the latest celebrity fad, eating real food and not dieting! Headline reads "Paris Hilton Gained 20lbs…That's HOT. Read How She Did It Inside!" or how about "Cupcakes! The New Fad Sweeping Hollywood!". How awesome would that be?

We are a nation obsessed with eating disorders. We are obsessed with overeaters, under eaters, those losing weight, those gaining weight. Jesus, whatever happened to just loving yourself and occasionally having a piece of cake and feeling okay with it?
