I was waiting for a job interview today. Reached the place at 1150am, as usual, early. It was supposed to be at 12pm.

Guess what? I waited for an hour outside the place and it was closed the whole time.

Why didn’t I call?

Firstly, I thought the interviewer would be late. You know..it happens, right. So I waited. I didn’t know I waited for so long.

Secondly, I was at the same time and place yesterday for the interview. But the interview didn’t take place as well. Because I doubted myself that I got the time wrong. So I texted the interviewer and he said it was Thursday. Fine, it is Thursday then. I was embarrassed because I wanted the job and I got the time wrong and all. Feel so paiseh.

So there I was today, waiting outside the place today for an hour. No one turned up. I thought I might get the time wrong again. SO I waited till 115pm just incase the interview was at 1pm. No one showed up too. So maybe I think I got it all wrong again and headed home. I was thinking that the interview might be at 12am as it is an entertainment place. So I decided not to wait any longer and headed back home. Hungry and tired I went home feeling unhappy cause I wasted almost 2 hours.

Feeling a lil unsatisfied I search all my notes and diaries to find where I wrote the time, day and place I was supposed to meet the interviewer. I remembered well the time and place. I wrote it somewhere but I couldn’t find it. After much searching, I found it. The interview was supposed to be on WEDNESDAY 12PM @ XXXXXXX.

I was like ….*$@%$*!X@#$%. But still I thought that I might have heard it wrongly when I called the interviewer. So I texted him again…and guess what?

No reply.

Sighhhh…………….

But still, I might have heard it wrongly. Or maybe the interviewer has just forgotten about it. It is understandable. It might have just been a misunderstanding. Who knows. So next time if there is an interview, call up the day before to confirm the place and time again and just don’t wait like a beggar outside some place.

Lesson learned.
