I am bored as hell today…..
Last night, after I got my good news, I needed to figure out the logistics of dealing with this Thursday interview. See, my suit is in NJ, and I needed to figure out how to get me, who is in Boston, into it. I originally thought about driving back to NJ today, grabbing the suit, and then turning around and driving back to Boston. It would be a lot of driving, but it would give me time to think as well as listen to an audiobook.
I presented this plan to my girlfriend and my family, and they conspired to convince me that this was a dumb idea. I am still not convinced, but I finally relented. So in a half hour I am going to pick
For the third time out of like 20, I ended up down at last night’s poker game. My wallet was $15 lighter when I left last night. Not many people showed up, I guess the impending holidays have busied people’s schedules and whatnot. It kinda sucks, because my strong games are full ring games of 8-10 people and heads up (or 3 seated). We only had 5 people, and I demonstrated how weak I am at short handed play. But really I just got unlucky, and every time I had a hand, nobody else had anything worth calling me with. Perhaps there was a better way to play that would have increased my EV, but I don’t know what it is yet. I am going to have to start reading some books.
So anyway, I am going to be hanging out here in Boston until Friday morning.
um
dont cut the tags off and return it
people do it all the time
Re: um
I know most people could do that, but somehow that sets off my “dishonest” radar.
Re: um
Ah your “dishonest” radar is louder than my “do what you have to do when your dirty poor” gland I suppose :)
Re: um
or, do cut the tags off and return it.
Was there no one to fed-ex the suit to you?
Re: um
The phone interview was yesterday at 4pm, and lasted about 30 minutes. At the end of that call, we had scheduled an in-person interview.
So even if my parents had gotten my suit down to Fedex last night, it would have gotten here some time today, and I would have to get it drycleaned/pressed since it was folded during shipping. So there wouldn’t be enough time to have everything together before my interview tomorrow.
Re: um
oh. nevermind. heh.
Re: um
Indeed, but Mens’ suits have tags on the outside of the sleeves, and I don’t think showing up with a tagged sleeve would be the best impression to make. :)
What sucks about buying a suit for an interview like this is that you can be certain that you’ll be the only one in the room wearing one.
Re: um
Totally. When I know I’m going to be interviewing a candidate, I try to remember to dress up a bit more to make them feel a bit more at ease. Still, candidates always stick out as they’re toured around the office.
Good luck, Sean!
