Thrive to spite them

I have an interview with the company looking for temp employee. It's casual, jeans are fine. I had an outfit picked out and realized the sweater has a run at the bottom.

So I'm thinking of wearing jeans, this top [link] a loose cardigan style sweater (no buttons) and black flats.

I don't want to be too casual but I don't want to be too dressy.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

IMO, even if the place is casual dress you should be dressed up for an interview. Nice trousers, not jeans.

And the person I spoke to at the temp agency was like "I'm going to send you some interview tips and also all the info about this in an email." That was 1 1/2 hours ago. Still no email. So I called again "Oh, I'm sure you are wondering where that is? I'm sending it right now." That was 10 minutes ago.

ChiKat - according to the temp agency the company specifically said jeans were appropriate and acceptable. I even said "well I wear a pair of slacks and a sweater" and she said "They restated when they set up the interview time that jeans are fine."

Okay I've switched to a pair of gray jeans cut pants. I had a pair of black jeans that almost looked like trousers but they faded and I don't want to wear faded clothes to an interview.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That sounds right, askye. I had an interview once where the guy was in jeans and a tie-dye shirt, and even though I wasn't super dressed up, it was a big gulf to try to overcome.

Always Anti-fascist!

Wish me luck, people. Have got "birthday" dinner with Dad and Grandma tonight. Here's hoping that they:
a.feel like talking
b. But not about ways in which I suck, or things like how upset I must be that my cousins got all wed-and-bred ahead of me.(Not even, ftr.Grandma thinking that upsets me far more than changes in their status.)
Bonus points if my brother can keep his fledgling gimp humor under wraps for the occasion.(It's totally awkward for me and I'm not sure if it's because he'll probably get better or because I don't feel like he's earned it yet.)

erika, I hope you have a good evening with little or no family drama. Are they taking you out? Don't forget to order something pricy.
