AT THE TONE, THE TIME WILL BE TOO LATE

I was invited to come in for a "conversation" regarding a job I'd applied to with a local company.  The HR team and I had been going around and around about a date; it's tough to fit everything in before the holidays, but, of course, everyone (including me!) wants to put as much business to bed as possible going into vacation.

When I was first contacted, it was requested that I bring in some writing samples.  I went into the attic to retrieve the remains of my previous careers and see if there was anything apropos.  However, the last email from HR sounded like the meeting was not going to happen until after December, so I merrily went back to surfing the internet for the just-right bathroom fixtures My Beloved needs so he can tear into home repairs next week.

You know what is coming next, don't you?  In fact, I even said to myself yesterday that I should work on the writing samples now when I'm relaxed and clear-headed rather than waiting until Deember.  Well, I got an email this morning at 11am asking if I could be on-site tomorrow at 1pm.  Yikes!
