Today I inadvertantly interviewed for a job. More than this, I inadvertantly interviewed for a job without a shower or a good toothbrushing in the previous 24 hours. In fact, I was still wearing the same clothes and sported only the residual make-up from the previous day.
Let me 'splain. No, there is no time. Let me sum up. Having had to spend the night with my mother last night (unplanned) to oversee her recuperation from minor surgery, I was on my way home where I would shower, change clothes, etc. You know, become hygenic. But first, I should just stop into A.C. Moore on the way home, right? It's new, and I hear they have a great yarn selection, so I'll just swing by there to check it out. Why, here are all those glorious yarns! So scrumptious. Oh, look! A sign tells me they need a knitting instructor. I'll just inquire about it. Oh! Here's the manager. Let me tell him about my experience. And the classes I have taught before. And my website. And the knitting groups I've started. And ramble on about my love of yarn and all things fibrous. Great, now he thinks I smell AND I'm crazy.
So I'll just leave my number with him and hope that he just thinks I'm really passionate. And not at all stinky.
We'll see how it goes. I could use the money to fund my yarn habit, but long about October, I'm probably going to wish I hadn't committed to two weeknights and one day on the weekend to teach knitting classes. Especially when those stacks of essays are rolling in...and over me with their badness when all the ink in the world can't correct them enough for my taste.
Still, knitting for money? Don't think I'd kick that out of bed.
