So I went to a job interview yesterday, and I concluded that Its been longer than I thought since I last worked a real job, or interviewed for one for that matter. I should have known it wasn't going to go very well when I couldn't find my other shoe, thus forcing me to wear heels and of course I'm one of those people that when they wear heels clomps around in them like a transvestite. I show up for the interview and things seem to go OK until she asks me if i could pass a typing test..uh oh..it went something like this :
her: "Could you pass a typing test and achieve at least 30 wpm?"
me: " um well I failed two semesters of typing in high school, but not to worry I believe I type at least 50 wpm, I am a very fast hunt and pecker"
Oh crap, I think you should prolly refrain from ever using the word "pecker" in a job interview.
me: " I probably shouldn't say the word pecker in an interview" crimony..I made things worse I think.
her: " You are very charming"
oh dear she called me charming, in a way that someone would tell a person that has down syndrome "charming"
me: "You think I have down syndrome, don't you?" Oh man why do I keep blurting out inappropriate things..whats wrong with me?!?
her: "no, you're very funny"
me: "yeah I get that alot"
So, then she says that she would like to get a copy of my resume emailed to her so she has one in the system in addition to the hard copy I gave her, she hands me her business card. I rush home thinking oohh yeahhh im going to impress her alright I will email that resume right now and really show her how on top things I am. I email her and thank her again for her time, and consideration oh and here is the copy of my resume you requested. 24 minutes later, to my delight she sends and email back. oh goodie! I think, I bet she was impressed! the email is as follows.
"hello Magan, it looks like you forgot to attache a copy of your resume, could you send it again? Thanks, Amy" Of course I didn't attache the resume, I have down syndrome. I guess its back to the drawing board for me. Good one Megster....real good.

Don't you hate it when stuff like that happens. You are very funny. I got a good laugh. So you'll have to email me or call me. I want to hear what happened at coart.
I'm laughing all by myself! That was quite the interview. I would hire a down's symdrome transvestite pecker. You weren't lying when you said you blurt things out when you are nervous. Good luck! Hope your "charm" works for you!
