that being said, i wanted to safeguard and put my resume out there in case some company wanted to pay me six figures to search for the end of the internet. i got a call from one such company and decided to go to the interview.
the experience was very mixed as the woman i met was very nice, but i'm not really a "small business" working environment kind of girl. i like glass and steel and lots of parking, and a proximity to lunch options never hurts.
anywho, i walk in and am led to a very small room that contains an oak veneer table, three crappy chairs, a lone oak bookcase of three shelves or so, and a phone from 1978. the interviewer takes the seat with her back to the door, and i sit across from her, facing the bookcase which is pretty empty save for a three hole punch on top, a stack of black diploma frames on the bottom and one item on the middle shelf.
i will now present you with a picture of the item:
i apologize for the blurriness, but i had to take the picture very quickly, with my phone, when she left the room. in case you can't tell, let me go ahead and clear that up for you:
IT'S A BOTTLE OF VAGISIL.
this is infintely funnier because there was seriously nothing in the room, save the items mentioned above. so of course, the whole time she's talking to me, i'm looking at the bookcase thinking "what the hell goes on here?", "why is the door marked "conference" if it should clearly be marked "sex"? and "wtf is vagisil for and why did someone need a bottle of it??"
so needless to say, i called the very nice lady this afternoon to let her know that i would not be pursuing the job further, and thanked her for her time.
if the interview involves vagisil, then the orientation probably involves chains and sacrifice.

yeah, I am not sure how you kept a straight face during your interview..lol!
ROTFLMAO!!! That absolutely HAS to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen! Wow! What an interesting interview that must have been! Kudos to you for holding it together and not just busting out in laughter the whole time. I think you should have inquired about the purpose of Vagisil in the workplace, lol!
HAHA i just laughed so hard and had to read this to dh as well! you totally made me laugh! During the course of the interview did you ever wonder if this was some sort of joke? Maybe they only hold mock interviews to video tape the person and their reactions to the vagisil and then the all laugh about it over lunch. How great of a job would that be??
Sorry for your crazy experience but know that you made the rest of us laugh! :-)
That is classic!
