"THERE WILL BE NO SHHHHH"

So I get this job interview with Mission Hill, which is arguably the best winery in Canada, and since it's in Kelowna, the interview is done on the phone. I sign up on the UVic website to have the interview at 10:30am on Friday (yesterday). So I wake up at like 9ish so I have time to wake up and get some energy for the interview, and I'm stripping down about to jump in the shower and the phone rings, and I'm like whatever, that couldn't be for me, no one calls me this early in the morning.

So I let it go to the answering machine. Then I look at the clock, and it's exactly 9:30. And I'm like shit, that's way too round a number. So I pick up the phone half way through the answering machine message, and it's Mission Hill. The women is obviously already thinks I'm a douche since I let it go to the machine, but I quickly explain that the interview is at 10:30. She's like uhhh no, it's at 9:30. Wtf? So I quickly check online, and I'm like I'm looking at it right now, it says 10:30!

Anyways, we were both really annoyed already, since UVic told us each different times for the interview, and she's like well do you need that hour to prepare, and I look down, and I'm basically naked, it's like when you have a dream and you're doing an interview or class presentation and you look down and realize you're naked and you're just like fuck ass how did I forget to get dressed today, anyways it was basically like that and I had just woken up, so I'm like sorry but I actually do need time to prepare.

So she sat there for an hour waiting.

The interview itself went great, but either way I looked like a complete dumbass thanks to good ol' UVic. If I get the job it'll be no less than a christmas miracle.
