Second Interview

I inadvertently went to the second interview wearing a blue sweater that was the exact same color as the blue wall. And by exact same color I mean that I looked like a disembodied blonde head floating in the sky.

I know this because the first person who met with me said “You look like a disembodied blonde head floating in the sky.”

I half-turned and noticed my shoulder merged almost seamlessly with the wall. “Huh. Freaky,” I said because I am very witty.

The man stared at me in wonder for approximately ten seconds before continuing with the interview.

We’ll see but I can’t imagine this was a good thing.

It probably just means you belong there. It's fate, CB, fate all the way!

yeah, you probably were just in tune with the company colors, always a positive.

You should be glad that he or she said something about what you had on at all, and the fact that he or she made a joke means good things for the CB.

You are toooo funny

one of you should have said something about "fitting right in."

There is a way you could use this to your advantage, I'm just not sure what it is.

I agree, it sounds like good karma that you blend so seemlessly into their office. It might just be decorative, but dammit you belong there!

I hope you weren't interviewing in front of a blue screen to be a weather reporter, because a disembodied blonde head floating over the map of Manhattan's forecast might turn off some viewers.

Sounds like an improvement on the first interview, if you ask me.

Airam said...

Perhaps blue is his favourite colour.

lurker and decided to say hi- crossing fingers for you if you want them- if ok, I've added you to my 'daily walk'- just trying to add new, fun people to my repertoire. Happy job hunting.

Duh, CB, you should have said "Yes, exactly as I planned."

Renovatio said...

Wait, those weather reporting screens are green... Do you have a sweater that matches that shade of green too?

Hey, at least you'll have left a mark on his mind! If I was him, I would remember you for sure. That's a silly thing that happened, and he noticed it. That's good for you.
:-D

That's one clever little Yvonne said...

Who wouldn't want a bodiless head floating around the office? I bet they hire you.

Ha ha, have you ever seen Garden State? The floating head in the bathroom decorated in the same fabric as his shirt.

You almost had me rolling on the floor laughing there...Good one :D

Did you laugh a lot? In that case you would have looked just like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.
