You know how I said I was giving up buying clothes for a month? Yeah, well that's gone completely out the window.

I haven't bought anything yet, but I've got an interview on Friday for a job that I really want and I'll be damned if I'm turning up to it wearing one of my starting-to-look-a-little-shabby work tops. So I'm going shopping on Wednesday morning before work. I will be purchasing a top that will go nicely with my good suit. I will try not to spend too much money, however if the right top happens to cost over $100, so be it, because I really, really want this job!

I'm just saying.

Meanwhile the shoes I bought off eBay a couple of weeks ago finally arrived and of course the first thing I do is put them on with a chiffon frock and go to the supermarket dressed like I'm going to a garden party.

I'm such a girl sometimes.

I also had to suffer through a vaguely embarrassing phone call to my mother today when I realised that I had left all my bras in the Old Home Town on the weekend. My sister is express posting them to me tomorrow, to my work address because if they go to the post office it will be a week before I'll be able to pick them up. I just hope no one opens the parcel before it gets to me.

You have to have the right clothes for your interview. Dress for success! (Like I'd know. One of the joys of working in the book trade is Smart Casual - and not always all that smart, at that.)

Hope the bras arrive before the interview, as boobs round waist (I'm not saying yours are, I'm merely judging by my own) not professionally inspiring.

Smart casual is the norm for the library, but I suspect this job would want me to be a bit more corporate, what with it being a gov'mint and all :~\

I do have one bra, but it's doing double duty as both regular and sports bra so the need to wash it is somewhat pressing. I hope my parcel arrives tomorrow.

Thank you. I've got a lot or preparation to do, but I'm feeling fairly confident.

You are such a girl!

Actually, if I'd been able to wear my black slinky dress to work today I would have :) I think that would be too much for some people to take!

Oh, and what job do you have an interview for?

Oh, slinky black dress. I bet the patrons would have loved that!

It's with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, in the Alick Jackomos library. I've got all this preparation to do because they want you to do a short written piece to see if you can string a sentence together, as well as have a standard interview. Eeep!

Good luck for the job! (And for top-hunting. *g*)
