lessons you've learned through experience
So, as some of my Pixie buds know . . . I was geared up for a job interview downtown today. I left with loads of time and my SO's directions written down (I have no sense of direction). I got off the street car with almost 30 minutes to spare and crossed the street to take the bus but quckly noticed the buses only run during rush hour! I hobbled as fast as I could the six blocks but alas, was late for the interview and didn't get a chance to plead my case to them.
I'm pretty disappointed but shit happens. So! My lessons learned today:
1. ALWAYS do a dry run of the route for the interview.
2. ALWAYS carry some cash (if I had a few bucks on me I could have hailed a cab but my money was in one of my other purses).
To get me out of my funk, anyone else have some disappointing experiences, silver lining type stories?
Or better yet, anyone want to hire me to work at a nonprofit as a communications asst./web writer?
