One down; one to go
So it all started on the toilet. Let's be honest here, most things do start on that magical, porcelain thinking chair. I was reading the paper looking for jobs when I discovered that a Physical Therapist had a job opening for an assistant. "That sounds like fun," I said out loud, which probably made my co-pilot a little uncomfortable. I send them my resume and cover letter and the next day I received a phone call from a nice girl named Kim asking if I would come in for an interview. I of course said yes. I called Kim for directions and at 2 pm the next day pulled up and parked and walked in to the PT clinic. I told the front desk I was here for a job interview and a lady walked out and told me to come back. It was slightly awkward, as most job interviews are. She made me then fill out an application; I thought this strange having already sent a resume. I received a call the next morning from a guy name Darin telling me that I got the job and that I could start whenever I wanted. I thanked him. A couple hours later Kim called me. "We missed you yesterday, is everything okay?" She politely asked. "Oh Kim, you're silly," I replied, "I was there and interviewed with Linda and then Darin called me this morning saying I got the job." She laughed, still a little confused and said, "there is no one here named Darin or Linda." We then reached the conclusion that I went to the wrong PT clinic, applied, and got that job! It was the most ironic thing ever. The irony of all ironies. I went in to my "real" interview the next day and the PT turned out to be a great guy. After we talked he told me to hang around for a little while and we chatted. He likes photography. It was a really chill place where everyone just talked and joked around. I liked it. I told him if he offered the position, I would take it. I am waiting for a phone call. But if not, at least I have a fall back job now. HA

Wow, that is a great story. Only you would show up at the wrong place for a job interview and get a job. Also, my favorite word in here is "co-pilot".
why are we so awesome? We have the best stories! That one is really really funny though. Like funnier than normal. but one piece of advice man, get an eye patch.
