When registering with any agency I always say the same 3 things:
NO RECEPTION WORK
NO DOWNTOWN LOCATION
NO BITCHMOND
When you read that sentence does it not seem pretty straight forward? (I'll bet you know what's coming....) Anyway- the agency MORON calls- he has an interview set up!!!!! Oh Yippee!!! (although the CORRECT procedure is to call me first, tell me about the job and ask if I'd like to apply for it) It would seem Mr Over Zealous skipped that part and sent my resume to a place in BITCHMOND!!! GASP!!! And now the place in Bitchmond wants to meet with me. (Most likely to ask "why" would you want to work in such a hole???)
I'm trying to keep an open mind so I have agreed to go. There has been road construction done over the summer so perhaps the highway to (Hell) Bitchmond has been improved. All I can do is try. So instead of having a pleasant nap this afternoon- I will be zipping towards the land of weirdness. I'll keep you posted. Later that day........ I met with a lady named Christine. She is, no doubt, the nicest and coolest person. She'd be awesome to work for. I really liked her. BUT, I found the office way to conservative for me. Since I'm rather, um.... unconservative - I have learned from the past that putting the 2 types of us together would not be a good blend. Conservative people don't get laid back me. (Yeah- I ponder over that myself) (Like what's not to love??) get this: The work area is in a different room away from the main office. It has a swipe card door access so only staff get in. 8 or 9 staff work in this area. Oddly, while discussing the dress code Christine was insisting the staff maintain this "image", afterall their clients are very la de da. WTF?
I really don't enjoy dressing up to impress my co-workers. The last 5 jobs I have had have been jeans. The focus is on WHAT YOU DO and NOT what you wear. Christine tells me what I'm wearing is perfectly acceptable. What she doesn't know is that I have on my (only) best funereal suit. I live in Roxy and Lucky Brand.
The job duties itself were decent but it's offset by the suck ass drive to the land of suck ass drive to the land of unreadable signs. I don't think I'm going to pursue this.
