I enjoy your blog, and have made it a daily read of mine! <BR/>Sorry your interview didn't go so well, but pretty funny story for you and for your interviewer(s)... I'm sure eventually they both found a little humor at your expense... I too joke around too much when I'm nervous... at an interview one time I was asked which of two positions I would choose, I told them we'd have to host an arm wrestle tournament and name the winner... funny thing was that they actually offered me both jobs! I turned them both down, not because of the jobs but because of the relocation hassle... I guess you never know! :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599048382234757313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-29453359079283710732009-03-24T01:56:00.000-04:002009-03-24T01:56:00.000-04:00LOL!

Well, I don't even remember what exactly I said, but I said something ... to the musician! <BR/><BR/>What were the freakin' chances of that?<BR/><BR/>Next day though ... he stopped by my business with a gift CD. :) Precious!rose AKA Walk in the Woods - she/herhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697387190111527024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-74407116759149987062009-03-24T01:53:00.000-04:002009-03-24T01:53:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490321009366097080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-80013624524815725302009-03-22T22:08:00.000-04:002009-03-22T22:08:00.000-04:00Deronda, that made me laugh out loud!

Like you, I tend to say things when I'm nervous and it's not always good. I'm tired of this PC world we live in--it's just so ridiculous .<BR/><BR/>I thought it funny that you referenced "The Jerk" as I was just singing the thermos song in the car today and my daughter thought I was nuts. "Didn't you ever see 'The Jerk'?" I asked her--she looked at me like I was nuts.
