Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Can I get by with a nice pair of lightweight pants and a summery blouse?
Probably. If you're interviewing somewhere more corporate, you might want to add a jacket that matches the pants.
Do shoes matter?
Yes. I would say you need something nicer than skechers. You could find some good flats at Payless that would probably work.

Sounds good to me, I used to shop almost exclusively at Payless so I could have lots of flats in pretty colors. I got out of that habit when I started working where it was all concrete floors.

yes, but you should probably get a matching or coordinating jacket.
Do shoes matter? I've got a pair of off-white Skechers that go very nicely with the pants, but nothing dressier in summer colors.
I'd get some inexpensive flats. Target or Payless would have something. or Nordstrom store brand (BP Shoes) are decent.
eta: clearly, chikat and I are sharing a brain.
Another story in the continuing saga of people who are asshats:
You may recall that my sister was hit by a car a couple of weeks ago. While her injuries were mostly bumps and bruises, her doctor told her to stay out of work for a week. She hit her head on the concrete and has had a headache ever since, so the doctor has ordered a cat scan. There's an ambulance bill.
My sister was crossing the street at a crosswalk with a walk light. The woman was making a turn when she hit her. Now my sister has to hire a lawyer to get this woman and/or her insurance company to pay for any of this. The woman's stance is that she did nothing wrong, because she had the green light. By definition, my sister had the green light too, and pedestrians have the right of way.
That's crazy, Ginger. Didn't the driver get a ticket? That seems totally indefensible to me.
The woman's stance is that she did nothing wrong, because she had the green light.
Dude. She HIT SOMEBODY. The light could have been fucking fuschia, a person in your way trumps everything.
I mean, legally also, of course, but it's basic common sense that you look where the hell you are going and DON'T HIT PEOPLE WITH YOUR CAR.
Signed, Just Got Home From Commuting.
does minor victory lap
Buffalo's winning! Go Sabres!
Ginger, I think that woman is due for a smiting.
That's so ridiculous, Ginger. Of course your sister had the right of way. That's the trade-off. You don't have a car around you protecting you, you get the right of way.
Also, my mom and her partner get into town tonight. I expect all will go well, but could use any extra ~ma or prayers or whatever that we don't all spontaneously combust.
sj, so sorry about the rude 911 operator. That's just ridiculous. Equally ridiculous...no, even MORE ridiculous...is the stupid driver's excuse for hitting Ginger's friend. WTF? No bad juju vibes for libkitty and fam.
I just got home and collapsed on the couch. In the morning, when I have failed to move an inch from this spot, someone will say, "Well she collapsed on the couch. That was her first mistake."
Also, DOES THIS MEAN YOU'RE FENCING AGAIN?! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!
Not at this moment (I mean, yeah, literally not at *this* moment, b/c I'm on the couch with a laptop on my lap; but also not at this larger, more general moment, as in, May 2007). But I'm verrrrrrra seriously leaning towards going back. I just want my exercise to be FUN, you know? And the treadmill is not fun.
Fencing, though? Awwwww yeah. SO much fun.
