The interview that never was...or...I am a complete failure

Got a call today for another job interview at another local restaurant. Hoorah! This dress is a little low, so I decided to wear a scarf to cover up a bit. 


While driving to the restaurant I pass one of their locations and remember that this particular restaurant has at least 3 locations! Crud - what to do??  Well, I think, surely the location where I applied is the location who wants the interview. It's decided and I drive in.  I'm early so I wait in the car for a bit, and when it's about 5 minutes to 3 I enter the restaurant and alert the host that I am here for my interview!  While the host is away I scan the menu: meat, meat, and more meat. This will be an interesting place for a faux vegan to work! 


 Finally the manager emerges and informs me that I am at the wrong location.  Double crud.  I race to my car - WHAT SHOULD I DOOOO???? Surely my supportive momma will know. I call her. No answer. I call again. Still no answer. I call again. No. Answer.


I called many people from my support network, which actually took up a bit of time (making me more and more late for the interview not to mention that I still need to drive to the location that is at least 15 minutes away) and I finally decide to skip it. I know I shouldn't. I know it is irresponsible of me. I know I desperately need a job. But, I skip. Sometimes it feels good to take some control back in the job search process ;)
