My sit-down

I'm taking a break from cramming for today's job interview, and again, I feel like Sarah Palin. Memorizin' catch phrases, stringin' words together into subject-free sentences, feelin' like a fraud and wonderin' what the heck to wear. Let's hope fifth time's the charm with this Interview Dress I bought in August and have been trying to keep seasonal by adding tights and a cardigan.

At my last interview, the woman ahead of me was wearing a nearly identical outfit. I wonder if she was hired instead.

This job is full-time, so I could actually accept it if offered. I was actually offered the last one (eventually, after probably being the third choice), but had to turn it down because they hours were way more than half-time, while being paid as such.

In other news, Goodwill and other thrift stores in Bellevue are awesome. Here's a sampling of what I've found in recent months:

* Laundry by Shelly Segal jacket
* Theory pants (though I couldn't buy them, because they were from back when a 0 was really a 0.)
* BCBG sweater
* Banana Republic shirt
* Ann Taylor pants

I'm not a slave to brands, but it's nice to know that my $7 blazer probably cost its original owner at least a hundred bucks. I'm all for labels when they're cheaper than new stuff at Old Navy!

Off to get costumed up and practice reading off the teleprompter!
