honk 780 Posted March 3, 2012 I had an interview yesterday. As a human resources professional it bothers me when the host doesn't ask the interviewee if they prefer to use the elevator or take the stairs. You never know if someone might have joint issues, heart problems, or anything else. We are after all HR and should keep these things in mind. Okay off my soap box. I was impressed that my host asked if I would prefer the elevator to which I said no. As we turn the corner I see that the stairs are actually one long staircase that was about 3 floors high. I was really excited that I could walk up the stairs, carrying my briefcase, and holding a conversation without gasping for breath. Oh and I got the job! Hurray. I have to go shopping this weekend because some of my pants are really to big. 1 karewpah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highland 168 Posted March 3, 2012 I just got home from the mall and had to share my nsv. It's taken a great deal of nerve for me to shop in the petite section of our local department store. I keep waiting to get kicked out for obviously shoping in the wrong section!!! lol Well today I bravely went into the more exclusive boutique section to see if I could find a deal. I was looking through some clothes and the saleslady approached me saying I was in the women's sizes and that the clothes I was looking at wouldn't fit me! I was humiliated UNTIL I realized she was telling me that I was looking at the one rack they had of plus size. She actually took me by the arm to show me where their regular size boutique clothes were!!!!! Made my day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taysidebell 176 Posted March 4, 2012 It's great to hear about the non scale wins, I can't wait for these to start for me. I get banded on the 13th march. The one Most want is the seat belt on a plane but hopefully by July I won't need an extention. Keep sharing your stories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakey88 37 Posted March 4, 2012 I just got back from my first trip flying. I have never used a seat belt extender. I would just hide the belt under my arms and they would never ask. It was nice to actually pull the seatbelt closer this time! =) It's great to hear about the non scale wins, I can't wait for these to start for me. I get banded on the 13th march.
