For an interview, it's OK to wear black slacks and a black jacket as a suit even if they're not the same fabric, right? (I gained about five pounds, and my usual interview pants don't fit me anymore, and I don't remotely have time to buy new pants and shorten them to fit me, but I do have some other black pants that fit. I'll be wearing it with a tan shirt with black trim.)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Unless you're interviewing for Vogue or someone, I doubt they'll notice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, seems like that should be okay. I'd wear it, anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would also totally wear that.

OK, thanks.

Is it an in-person interview, or Skype/video? They won't notice on video, but in person it might look weird?

It's in-person. I already did a Skype interview, and they've having me come for a second interview and and demo lesson. I'm not sure I even could get pants that matched the jacket -- I got it at Ann Taylor about five years ago, and it doesn't look like they still sell pants in that fabric.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am having a super hard time adulting today. I started the Lexapro exactly 2 weeks ago, and I know that's too soon to notice any improvement, but I was still hoping to see some. (And also, the headache from it can go away any fucking time now.)
I leave tomorrow for the quick trip to Chicago, and while I CANNOT WAIT to have dinner and see AoU with Buffistas, I really can't handle 2 trips in 7 days. Two flights, 2 strange beds, 2 situations full of people (not Buffistas) that overwhelm this introvert, 2 instances of being yanked out of my comfortable routine.
I wouldn't like this even if my brain were working at optimum performance, but it sucks in an epic way right now. (Plus, my former Mean Boss is also a freelancer for the AMA who will be at this meeting; it turns out we are on the same damn flight, which is really empty, so she's going to want to sit with me and talk, which ruins my plans to read my Harry Dresden book in an Ativan haze. Bah. But at least I can ditch her for the evening.)
And I have a bunch of work to still do today, and receipts to enter, and I need to run to the library to pick up the aforementioned Harry Dresden book. And pack (though not much, because it's a super quick trip and we were told we can wear jeans to the meeting Friday, which means I am flying in jeans and wearing them the next day, so all I have to pack is a shirt for Friday).
And I'm a jackass who is walking another 5K Saturday morning, even though my flight gets back in Friday night. Have I had a chance to work out -- or even take a walk -- since the last 5K? No I have not, unless bowling counts as a workout (IT TOTALLY DOES).
Super stressed, the house looks like a bomb went off in it, and stuff just KEEPS HAPPENING. Family things we have to go to. Pets that need to go to the vet. Friends who are all, "Hey, didn't you suggest in FEBRUARY that we should get together for dinner?" Yes. Yes, I did. Get back to me in June.

Oh ugh. That is totally not on. I hope you can somehow side-step this.
