Flat Topics

My neighborhood Starbucks ran out of flat tops this afternoon so they had to use the bubble ones. It says a lot about my neighborhood when most people not only notice the change in tops, but actually complain about it. But seriously, can someone explain the importance of having a regular flat lid to me? It’s not like the lid shape changes the drink at all. 

Some things I just don’t get, like the hiring process.

I had a third interview for a job this morning. Can we say corporate tease?

I actually can compare this situation to a guy taking out a girl on three dates without making a move. There would be no question that he acknowledges her presence in the universe, because he is communicating and spending time with her. But at this point is he just bored and killing time, or is he into the girl? Corporate environments don’t waste time, especially HR, so what’s with the long-winded getting to know you process?

I’ll give it a couple days before I get antsy, need to feel in control and call them to check in. 

Have you ever noticed the similarities between getting a job and getting a boyfriend? So similar it’s scary. In my opinion an interview is a date: by the time the interview is over you want to have charmed the interviewer so much that they’d buy you a drink at a bar. A date is an interview: if you know nothing about your date by the end of a meal, then you aren’t asking the right questions.

Anyway keep your fingers crossed and send me good-jobey vibes.
