Note from the road

Note: Don't frontpage this. More of a note to Constant Readers.

You guys thought I was joking when I said your interviewer likely needs another two hours to sleep off a champagne hangover? Yeah, I was joking. Sure.

It's 7:10 AM and I just puked in the toilet. Your Auntie B is so true to form. I don't get too many nights to myself to go all-out, but when I do, I'm pretty predictable.

Now for eight straight hours of back-to-back interviews. Hi, kids! Great to meet you!

Who the hell throws up on only champagne!

I agree...bankerella isnt as bad ass as she thinks she is

I eat success for breakfast...with skim milk
 

Bankerella,

That's a champ! Grab a breakfast burrito, smile and nod. Good luck today! And this is why you need to look at State Schools - if they party hard, they can sympathize with the hung over interviewer.

 

I walk into interview... I dim the lights, hand Auntie B a pillow and a Gatorade.... Boom 2nd round here I come!

Fear is the greatest motivator. Motivation is what it takes to find profit.

Guys, don't hate on B, she's doing her best.

Just a quick hypothetical, if you're interviewing with Bella and notice a little leftover vomit on her chin, is it better to point it out or pretend like you didn't see it?

Thanks a lot.

The wise choice is obvious here, dude. You pretend like you didn't see it.

Help a brother out here, B. You're assuming I'm smarter than I am.

Not pointing it out Pros: save the awkward moment and her feeling embarassed in front of you Cons: you go through the rest of the day with vomit on your chin, and when you eventually discover it, your inevitable fury at me not telling you earlier

Pointing it out Pros: sacrifice some current embarassment and awkwardness in order to save you embarassment during the rest of the day, which you would logically ultimately appreciate Cons: looking like a douchebag

I'm so confused.
