I don't know how much of a chance it has to reach a network lineup, but you never know.

The clincher was that he'd been interviewing with a man who had an artificial leg and everyone thought he was making fun of the guy. <br /><br />I discovered after getting home that the suit I'd worn to an interview had a torn seat, but it was only about a four-in rip.

Not fluffy, "call me later", but making sure I had their contact info and would contact them in 12 months, etc.<br /><br />Then I went to get up and realized my leg was completely asleep. I realize now I should have just TOLD them, instead I did some sort of spastic weird walk down the hall and to the stairs, practically squirming the whole way with the pins and needles. Jack Tripper couldn't have done better.<br /><br />Surprisingly, they weren't interested 12 months later. :)<br /><br />PolyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-89007005923718985162011-10-13T08:36:47.903-07:002011-10-13T08:36:47.903-07:00I'm in "stitches"!
