hired?

i had an interview for a dental hygiene position today.

i've been battling whether or not i should work.. 
but this job seemed too good to be true
1 day a week, 8-3, a salary i could pay rent for the month only working 1 day a week, 6 miles away from home, jeremy could watch London for all but 2 hours of my shift.
perfect.

oh, how did it go, you ask? 
i NAILED it! 
felt great about it... 
conversation flowed, me and the dentist's views on patient care and treatment seemed to be completely compatible
booyah

firmly and confident, i shook the dentist hand and went to grab my purse that was placed on the floor between Dr. Woods and I.
we both looked down at my purse at the same time. 

this is what i/we saw as i went to grab my purse
 (this picture is NOT an exaggeration!)

i could have crawled under a bush full of ticks and died.

nothing was said. 
but i'm about 0.5% sure she didn't see it.
i felt like i was in slow motion as i tried to snag the dang thong and conceal it in someway. 

why would i have this at the top of my purse???.. 
correction: why, not only at the TOP of my purse, but ON TOP and OUTSIDE of my purse?? 

because the other side had all my interview information on it.
address, time, phone number, etc. 
some people use a sticky note.. 
nope, not me, i use my homemade pg-13 valentines. 
screams professionalism.
ALSO, i was looking over my resume after the interview and noticed that i forgot to delete the
"part-time exotic dancer" section that i recently added for another competitive job position i was applying for.

ok, that's not true.. but it might as well be.

So funny! Did you have to take the california board exam? or did they start accepting wreb?
Good luck on the job, I'm sure he thought it was funny :)

That is so funny & definitely something that would happen to me too! I bet he got a good laugh about it & it will just help him remember you over the other applicants anyway :)

Holly said...

You KILL me! Bahaahaaa! Kate! That is hilarious! I bet he thought it was funny too! I mean come on it was just Valentines day! Let us know if you get the job! ;) Still chuckling.

PS We made those same PG-13 cookies and took them to Zach's work, his boss saw them and well everyone in the office really, they thought they were hilarious so I wouldn't worry too much! lol.

Lisa said...

Hey, I'm a complete stranger (only "know" you from occasional blog stalking) but still wanted to tell you that this post totally cracked me up. So, I mean SO hilarious! Way to go! Haha- still laughing. =)

Natalie♥ said...

LOL!! That is way too funny thanks for the laugh today :) I can't really tell you that he will forget about it someday because I am not so sure he will :)

Erin said...

You are so funny! This totally made me giggle! Thanks for sharing, you are so cute! I threw-up at a job interview once and I still got the job, crazy! Good luck!

Camille said...

Oh, you had me laughing on that one! Great story! I'm sure the dentist loved it, too! Haha! Great opportunity, by the way. That will feel good to get out once a week!

Lynn said...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man. I sure needed a good laugh. Sorry. But I am sure you see the humor in it by now, too. Right? LOL!

I'm with Lisa....a total stranger coming over here now and again. Hope you don't mind. I just love your cute little family. And so this doesn't sound too creepy let me share with you that I came over through blog hopping from Holly and Natalie's blogs. ; D

Oh man. My ribs hurt, I am laughing so hard. Hope it helps if I say, that I truly thought your valentine's were cute.

LOL!

Okay. I'm gone now. ; D

Jessica said...

Seriously, you are hilarious! I got a good laugh too so thanks for sharing.

Shannon Dooley said...

Shut your mouth! That is the funniest darned thing I have heard in soooo long! I am sorry that my sides hurt from laughing at your expense, but come on now! That's something straight out of a Modern Family episode. You should sell the rights to this story to Warner Bros or something. At least that way, if you don't get the job the interview will still have paid off. BAHAHAHA! I can't stop! Here's a 90's flashback for that maybe you can use as an exotic dancer courtesy of Sisqo:
"She had dumps like a truck truck truck
Thighs like what what what
All night long
Let me see that thong"
Love ya Kate! Thanks for the LOL!

Erin said...

I want to know too! Did you have to retake a board, or does CA accept WREB now?? If they do, I'm packing and moving tomorrow!!!
Good luck... I'm sure they love you anyway.. And, you said the dentist was a 'she?' Hopefully she just figured it was a glimpse into your saucy personality!

Ashley said...

Oh my word! I would be horrified too, but it's something to laugh about right? I doubt it will sway his decision on you...your so amazing. Good luck!

VicandNanc said...

Oh Kate, only you! ha! I only laugh that you didn't make light of it with a joke. I hope it works out for you. Job hunting is a pain!

Will and Heidi said...

Amber said...

K.A.M. said...

That PG-13 Valentine, blessing and a curse!

Mike,Shar,Ryan,Rex said...

Judy said...

The Moulton Family said...

Ha! Ha! That is hilarious! I hope you get the job, though. That does sound absolutely perfect, and it will help out a ton to have your rent paid for.

Shelley said...

Court and Brade said...

LOVE the story.. and LOVe that you got the job even more! you'll have to let us know what your boss says when you eventually talk about it one day :) ... It reminded me of last year when I was interviewing for nursing jobs at EIRMC... Don't worry, my button on my blouse popped open right across my chest DURING the interview. uh... awkward! What do ya say, ya know?? Oh sorry, I'm just bustin' out of my blouse here.... Anyway, there wasn't much for them to see anyway!! And they were probably wondering WHY i was wearing my bra over a "white shirt..." Hmmmm .. I did NOT get that job ha ha. little London is TOO cute by the way. love her hair.
