Sewing Interview/Machine
This morning I interviewed with an interior decorator for a job. Actually, we interviewed each other, and we both came away with the notion that we will be able to work well together. The interview was at her condo. I arrived there to discover that it is a secure gated community, and she had given me no code to punch into the automatic gate. Living, as I do, in the age of dinosaurs, without a cell phone, I was unable to alert her to my plight. 'OK', I thought, 'if this is a test, I can get in!' A garbage truck was just leaving, but I couldn't drive through fast enough to make it through before the gates closed. Four more sets of locked gates presented themselves down a long block. The walls were brick, and too high to climb over. (I did consider it.) The condos had no street numbers on the blind street side, so I parked the car in a "WE TOW!!!" zone, hoping I'd make it back before they hauled my car away, and trudged across the street. I was able to turn sideways and squeeze through a gate, (Five pounds heavier, and I'd have had to grease up with Crisco to get in.), then walked to the end of the block to find the building I sought. It had two locked garage doors, and one tiny, solid, securely locked door. Both sides of the building turned blind eyes to the neighborhood. 'This is freaky', I thought, hands on hips, looking for some way to conquer the mountain. (Superman and his impregnable mountain came to mind.) I gave a moment's thought to throwing my head back and yodeling, as I could see open windows on several balconies. I was getting hot under the collar. Striding to the back of the building, I found an opening, and an unmarked, thick, brushed steel elevator door. My imagination turned to Bond..James Bond, as I rode up. The hairs were standing up on the back of my neck. The interview was a let-down after the lead in, but I decided I could work with this decorator, so I hired her. ; ) The good sewing news: I bought a blind hem machine today, LN, for very little money. I'd seen the ad in the newspaper two days ago. Gotta have a blindhemmer for drapes, sheers, and the like. Is this Karma, or what?? Cea |

Cea, next time you'll have to wear a black catsuit! LOL
Good luck with this new job/employee--I hope she's worth it. Still chuckling, Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |
