A Chilly Interview

A Chilly Interview

This is about a nasty prank that was played on me. One day, I had a job interview that was scheduled for early in the morning. I was rushing to put on my clothes when I realized that something was missing. I asked my little sister, "Where is my bra?" And she said, "Maybe you should check in the freezer." Damn her, she had known I was going to an interview -- so the night before, she collected all my bras, soaked them in water, and stuck them in the freezer! They were frozen solid. I mean, I could have beaten someone to death with one of those things (and believe me, I was tempted). I was in a HUGE hurry, though. Searching for the bras had wasted way too much of my time, and I figured "What the hell. I don't really need a bra anyway." So I just rushed out the door, and drove to the interview.

The man who interviewed me seemed nice, and I thought the interview was going pretty well, but there was a problem. I'd picked my clothes before I realized that I wouldn't have a bra, so I was wearing a tee-shirt that was sort of tight. And there was air-conditioning in the room.  REALLY cold air-conditioning. So my nipples became sort of...well...perky. VERY perky. I tried to act as if nothing strange was happening, but the interviewer kept looking at my chest with a sort of bemused look on his face. I don't know whether he thought that I was a slut, or that I was just really, really enjoying that interview.

Anyway, I did not get the job.  However, he suggested that I try for a wait staff position at a restaurant located nearby.
