Interview Part 2

As I watched Chris' car pull away, I knew I better get a move on! My interview was scheduled for 10 am. and I am not exactly the fastest walker.  I looked at my printed out directions-- They appeared easy enough. I hiked up my travel bag and my briefcase and began walking. The final goal was the Affinia Shelburne Hotel located at 303 Lexington Ave. Walking and dodging the tons of people on the street, was tough!  My heavy shoulder bag (which carried my interview clothes and shoes) kept slipping off my shoulder. I followed my directions as well as I could, but due to traffic and construction some of my intended route had to be changed. Of course, I ended up going the wrong way, and I walked about 5 blocks out of my way before I got back on track. I was sooooo worried that I was going to be late!  I even tried to hail a cab, but at this time of day all of them already had fares inside riding to work. Since my paper directions were useless, I pulled out my cell phone and proceeded to use my Navigation app. Thank goodness that worked!  It put me back on track and soon I FINALLY located my final destination!

It was 9:15 am. I quickly went into the lobby and asked if there was a restroom I could use so I could change/freshen up. They directed me to a downstairs restroom and I just about ran to it. I walked in and looked at myself in the mirror. My face was beet red and my hair a mess due to the strong outside winds. Looking at myself, I asked "Do you really want to do this? Do you want to move yourself and your husband to the other side of the world?" Shaking my head, I knew that I had followed this through to much to change my mind. I also knew this was probably a case of nerves.  I quickly changed, cleaned up and returned to the lobby.
