'Nother job interview today: Vindigo Studios. Seems like a cool place to work, 'cept for what may or may not be the corporate dress code — one of the guys who interviewed me actually apologized for dressing casually. Sooooo cute... I wanted to hug him. But I didn't, although I'm not sure how that would've affected my chances of landing the job. For my part, I was dressed up with the white button-down shirt and otherwise comfy khaki pants, but Mom the fashion maven made me tuck my excessive shirt in, so I was spending the entire interview trying not to think about the lumps of fabric clogging up my ass.

I've complained about "business-casual" before, but this was the first time I really took a look at how other people were dressed. Gave me something to do on the train while resisting the urge to scratch my butt. I think I've come to a conclusion: different people look good in different outfits — the traditional semi-formal look ain't workin' for everyone.

Despite the excess wardrobe around my waist, I managed to do relatively well in the interview. Surprising, in fact, since during the telephone pre-interview, I could barely string a sentence together. I think it's important to remember that your interviewers are just people too, who put on their unnecessarily prim dress slacks one leg at a time. They have likes and dislikes, senses of humor, and the fact that they have a job and an apartment and the power to hire you doesn't make them superior. But, sadly, the fact that they look good in business-casual does.
