Canceled Interview

Today I faxed my resume in for a receptionist job. A few hours later I received a call. The woman from the company said she’d like to set up an interview. Part way through she stopped and said, “I just realized that you live on the same street that I do!”

I replied with something like, “Really? Wow!”

She asked if I lived at the end in the cul-de-sac. This sort of confused me. The end of my street just curves around and changes names…I forgot about the cul-de-sac in the middle.

This street is actually broken up…it starts at one spot then ends where there is some undeveloped land, cul-de-sacs, and then the street (with the same name) continues again, so the addresses can be a little confusing. I told her I must live on the other end from her, because I live right at the beginning of the street. She asked the color of my house. I told her, and then she gave me the colors and address of her house. I realized she was indeed on my end of the street. I looked out my window, but didn’t see the house colors…no biggie. She said her house is the one with the dogs and cats…as if no one else on the street has animals. I continued with setting an appointment for the interview. Nine in the morning tomorrow…Great! I’ll see you then…click.

After I hung up I looked beyond a tree that blocks my view of HER house. OH MY GAWD!! It was the bitch that let her dogs run free off her property and onto mine while my dogs were politely staying in our yard. One of her dogs attacked and bit Petie, my old Malamute.

Just before closing time she called back from her work and said she had to cancel the appointment. She told me she had just hired one of the boss’s daughters…yeah RIGHT!
