so...here's a funny story if you care to read about it. i had a job interview for the company that i work for now, just at another location (i am transferring branches because i'm moving home after i graduate.) this new branch just happens to be on base. anywho...i went to my interview on friday...black friday that is and met the lead teller in the visitor parking lot. i got into her car and we were off to the gate to get inside. we drive up and she pulls out her sponser badge to get us both in and the guy decides he needs to see my id as well. no biggie, i go to get my wallet out of my purse and shoot, my wallet did not get put back into my purse that afternoon (the reason it was out of my purse was a mistake in and of itself. black friday shopping. who wants to haul around a big purse when you are fighting for your favorite movie at wal-mart? not me!) so, the man is sitting there waiting for me while i'm nervously trying to find anything in my purse to show that i am who i am. all i could find was a check book. that didn't work. he was very impatient with us as i was trying to find this because there was a huge line of cars behind us waiting to enter. he instructs us that we are to turn around and cannot enter until i find some id. back to the visitor parking lot we go.
she calls her boss and explains the situation to him and he just suggests that we go out to lunch and conduct the interview over a nice sandwich from cutlers (yummy.) we take his advice and drive down the street for another adventure.
we get there, go inside, wait in line for our turn to order...usual fast food routine. it is finally our turn and after taking a little while to order we go to pay and what happens? SHE FORGOT HER WALLET TOO!!! of course she did. why would anything else go right in that interview? really. so we sit there laughing hysterically because nothing is going our way. we make it out to her car and i mentioned that she just take me to my house for my wallet because we cannot get on base to get hers...because i don't have my id. soon after we have decided that we are going to my house i remember i have my checkbook. we walk back in and find out they do take checks. i pay for our lunch with a reassurance of reimbursement.
you would think that after all of this hassle it could only go uphill from there. wrong!
we are filling up our drinks, i turn around to get a straw and BAM....there is a little child right by my feet and i knock her straight on her face. "oh geez," i think to myself. bring it on. haha.
well we get to our table safely and go through the interview process. i don't know if you guys have ever had an interview over lunch...it is pretty difficult! no one knows when to eat, and when you do it is usually horrible timing. but we got through it and needless to say, I GOT THE JOB! i know. hard to believe. i'm just glad it happened with someone who knew how to laugh at life. i think i'm really going to like this new branch. they all seem awesome!
sorry this was so long. i just felt it was funny and should be shared with all.
i'm off to go to the shooting range with ryan, dad, and ricky bobby. you all have a great night.
love you.
