Okay, I think I should officially change my name to Klutz! I was in an Interview last week for a Position that I want more than anything, so this was huge. I was recently laid off at AAA and had been there about 6 years. So sad!! :( So I'm looking for a good Dispatch job. I found a great opportunity, dispatching, just the job I want and the most I will have ever been paid. So, they call me back for a second interview last week. Yay!!
Here's the part you're waiting for... I go in all dressed up, ready for this interview. I know I'm going to make the BEST impression. So, the Supervisor sits down, tells me to take a seat across from him. I'll set the scene; Hard floors and chair with wheels. Need I say more. Didn't think anything of it, so I go to sit down. The next thing I know, the chair pushes back as I start to sit and I thought I had a good enough grip but... NOPE! My whole body flies to the floor and the chair is laying on top of my shoulders and face. I'm laying on the ground!!! I couldn't believe what was happening. My first instinct was to run as fast as I could to the nearest exit. But, I just laughed, the guy lent me a hand and helped me up. I said "nice to meet you." He was very nice. I think it put him at ease that I was laughing so hard about it, because believe it or not, the interview went excellent. SERIOUSLY! As he was walking me out the door, he said they'd call me in the next day or two because I was their "strongest candidate." I made it out to my car and was laughing so hard that he actually said that. I wasn't holding my breath.
But, guess what?!?! This morning I get a call from them and they want me to meet with the General Manager tomorrow. I'm so excited, but in the back of my head am thinking, maybe he just wants to meet the girl that fell off the chair last week. I hope not... :) Wish me luck! I think this guy has carpet in his office, so that's a plus. ha ha ha! It seems I have too many stories like this. Anyway, other than that, life is going great. (other than me turning 29 last week) grrrr... where does the time go and where is my Husband? :) Going to the Singles Ward, socializing, trying to stay busy!

Hi Darla, I just found your blog from a comment you left on Blaine and Lisa's blog. So this is the first bit of your blog I got to read. Hilarious! And, that's sooo cool that they called you back. If you get the job, you'll definitely have a good story to tell your coworkers! Good luck.
