Eheh
Last week I went on an interview for a lawyer's office as a receptionist. I was short on job references, so I asked the morning girl if I could put her name. She agreed. Couple days ago, she called me at work to see if I would be a job reference for her, and readily I agreed.
Today, she called long after our mutual bane had left.
Cynthia: "Did you interview with __________?"
Me: "Yeah, I did." ::figuring they called her as a reference::
Cynthia: "Is it me, or were they total snobs to you, too?"
Me: "...yeah, they were pretty snobby. Did you wear pants, too?"
The place has a skirts-only policy except on Fridays. Apparently, we had both interviewed for the same job, using one another as references. And they remembered me.
Huh.
Only belatedly did it occur to me that their office must now have a not-so-nice impression of this one.
Good.
