i have to be an adult now?

job interview number one, went as follows...
i woke up, spiffified myself, and got to macy's roughly twenty minutes early because i was convinced the alleged "executive offices" would be up some hidden stairwell and i would be wandering around for hours trying to find it.  but, although the employee... er, excuse me, retail sales associate was a bit turned around and confused when i asked her where the executive offices were ("Executive?  We have those?"), she eventually found them and took several minutes explaining where she was pointing, even though i saw the sign before she did.
the office was tiny and old, and a man with a fantastic mustache asked me very cheerfully what i needed.  i could possibly be a lost or disgruntled customer who happened to accidentally bypass the bathrooms.  i sat around waiting for lisa and listened to other employees talk about the woes of retail existence.
when lisa arrived, she was a short woman with a handshake like a floppy fish.  i smiled and was friendly, but was secretly hoping she wouldn't kill me once we entered her windowless office.  she asked me a lot of questions--something tells me they do this at interviews--and seemed pleased with my customer service/retail experience. 
at the end of the interview, she informed me that they didn't have any openings.
...
if anything, it was a great experience?

also, this morning, i thought i had lost my NRA hat, had a small heart attack, and then sprinted downstairs, Polly at my heals, to answer the door.  it was a UPS man who had clearly been expecting me to be a ninety-year-old woman but instead got a 22-year-old-who-looks-like-she's-16 and didn't quite know what to do with himself.  i understood "Karen" and "sign," followed shortly by a "see you later."
maybe next time i should wear make-up.

Jamie out.
