This is a test right?
Staying up super late the night before you have a 6:30 flight is not a good idea. As I was racing along 94 approaching the airport at 6am I thought I would miss my flight for sure. I run up to the check in hoping they don't give me too much of a hassle. "you're not booked on this flight Mr. Miller"
WTF
A few phone calls and I discover that the corporate travel agent booked the flight under his own name. Sweet. I end up buying a tciket (don't worry they'll pay me back) and am on the 8:30 flight to NY. Great except now I get to spend two and a half hours sitting at DTW. I head over to security. JACKPOT! You have been selected for additional screening. I was feeling a little weird so I decided to mess with the security..."Sweet," I yelled. "I love extra screening".
"Follow me sir" said the 50+ yr old security lady.
"Stand right here. Take off your shoes, belt, jacket, and everything and this guy will tell you what to do."
After taking off my shoes, belt, and jacket I stood and waited for a good 2 minutes and this guy was ignoring me. I decided he must be ignoring me b/c I didn't take off everything like the lady said. I start to lift my shirt up over my head. "Sir! What are you doing?"
"She told me 'Take off your shoes, belt, jacket, and everything '"
"Just step thru the machine."
THen I get waived over to the special section.
"How are you today sir?" WHy do they try and be nice. I'ts like when a cop tells you to have a good day. Shut up and do your job so I can be on my way.
"Actually," i replied "You're the best part of my day so far"
"That's pretty sad"
After they stare at my shoes and belt for a while they finally decide to use the wand on me. Diesel jeans have rivets everywhere and a button fly. i was beeping like crazy.
"The rivet on my pants are setting it off" I tell the guy
"I still have to do a pat down" he replies. True to his word everywhere that machine beeped got patted down. He patted my ass, my thighs, geez. Then my button fly sets it off. He better not pat that!
"Do you have anything in there sir?"
"You mean other than the normal" i replied with a smirk.
"Sir, I need you to turn out your zipper"
"They're button fly"
"Well I need to see it sir"
With one flick of the wrist all 4 buttons came free form their home and I was standing in the airport with my pants open.
"Sir! Close your pants"
"But look, it's button fly"
"I need to just do a pat" and with that he touched my junk.
7 am, I didn't get much sleep, I missed my flight, and now some dude with a goatee and latex gloves tries to give me a happy ending. After this the interview should be cake.
When I finally arrive in NY I find that the driver of my car is very talkative and personable. He lives on long island and tells me a few places to look for living arrangements. WHen we arrive @ lexington I try to tip him but he wouldn't take it. That's crazy. "You seem like a nice kid. Keep your money. Welcome to NY." People say NYers are rude.
My interview ends up being 2 hrs long. The body language of the HR rep tells me that I should have an offer by the end of the week, but nothing is said.
WHen the interview concluded a mini conference btwn the HR rep and the east coast are mgr took place...for like 30 min. Then the VP walks up and informs me that we are gong to lunch. He pops into the conference rom for 15 min and then they all emerge and announce I am staying the night.
Lunch with the VP was sweet. I hope that after I move to Ny I will build a friendship with him. He's ####### cool. It's odd that we can even talk since he's smart and rich and I'm me, but our conversation at lunch was great.
The rest of my day was fairly boring...
Now the waiting game begins...
It's a lenghty and boring post..don't read it
