Job interview #1

So...I had a job interview today. First one since I've started applying to places.

I was greeted by a rather large and intimidating German Shepherd at the door--I could see him peering through the glass door, looking at me hungrily. So, I open the door a crack (like that would prevent this enormous creature from knocking through it and eating me anyway, pppffft!) and shakily ask the receptionist, "Is he ging to attack me?" She replies that he could only kill you by licking you to death. I walk in and realize the large monster is actually ridiculously sweet.

Point is? You're allowed to bring your freaking dog to work. I like this place already.

I'm forced to wait in the lobby and play with the dog for a little while (such a stress reliever!) while I wait for the VP to interview me. She comes over and invites me into her office. We sit and she asks me about my hobbies, family life, what my grades in school were, etc. Not typical interview questions, but I like it. I felt more at ease--like they were getting to know me.

She leaves and this is where the freakiness begins. I'm sitting there for a few minutes and this girl comes in and introduces herself as "Karen." I take a good look at her. She looks almost exactly like me. Like, this girl could be my freakin' twin. Long-ish dark brown almost black hair, dark eyes, pale skin. Same facial features. And her name's Karen to boot. Really fuckin' weird. And I thought I was exaggerating things until she mentioned that she felt as if she was looking into a mirror. We get a good laugh out of it...and then she yaps for an hour and a half about the job description she could have told me about in 10 minutes.

So, the job sounded good...very people oriented. It's for a licensing and credentialing specialist for a nursing agency. And I'd get to do some PR work, too...and help organize the yearly company trip to the Carribbean for a week and all the company parties.

Yeah, you read that right.

Company parties.

An all-inclusive trip to the Carribean.

Sign me the fuck up for this place. I'll get my lonely ass a doggie and go lay on the beach for a week for free.

They'd better call me back.
