This is really kind of a work story but hang in there w/ me....Coach appears in the story! hahahaha
We are very short handed at our office right now.... we have a ton of work and need people badly. We have several ads running and quite a few interviews set up for this week.
My cube happens to be close to the reception area and I can hear when people come in and out..... Our receptionist spends a lot of time playing "runner" as well (bless her soul) and there are times when I'll hear someone come in and I know she's gone so I peek around the corner to make sure it's not someone who needs assistance.
Today a very lovely young lady stepped in and I said, "Can I help you?"
She said, "Yes. I have an interview at 10:30 but I can't remember the name of the man I'm supposed to see."
Needless to say in my head I made this face:
Instead I said, "Well, what position are you looking for?"
So blah blah blah I get her figured out and hand her a clip board w/ an application and ask her to have a seat in the foyer. She grins and flips her hair and turns and there...on her shoulder...is THE WORST FAKE CARLY I'VE EVER SEEN. The "C"s were wrong...the strap was wrong....it was just WRONG.
Needless to say in my head I made this face .... instead I kept my mouth shut.
But ummm yeah....when you go to a job interview do you at least make an attempt to remember who you are going to see???? I was floored.
Since I'm the only one in the office who cares if the bag is real or fake I just had to share w/ people who DO CARE if a Carly is real or a horrid imposter. I don't judge her, however...she probably wanted to look great and didn't think anyone would notice the fake bag.
I hope like crazy they don't hire her. I know I may sound kinda mean but COME ON.. .... rule #1 of trying to find work ...remember the name of the person who you wants to see you!
