Bottleneck Life
“Ready for the big job interview this afternoon?”
I grin across the table at Sally, “You bet! I’ve been preparing for weeks.”
“Well, you certainly look stunning. The old ivory of the suit sets the perfect tone.”
“Thanks”, I say, draping a napkin across my lap and picking up the fork.
Startled by a crash and yell behind me, I leap from my chair and turn in time to see the waiter’s foot descend on a plastic catsup bottle sliding across the floor. Pressurized contents spew from the bottleneck splashing the front of my perfect suit with garish red.
I spy a change in graphics!
This was always one of my worries eating lunch before an interview, as I was bound to end up wearing part of my dinner, no matter how careful I was!

Oh, no, Vickie! I was thinking it a bold move to eat before an interview. But a ketchup accident with an ivory suit, oh, that’s rough.

May be this is destiny. May be your boss did not want to lose you and enacted the drama by paying the waiter. You are a valuable employee.
