3. When's the interview?
If you have 12 to 24 hours, put toothpaste (not the gel kind) on the zit now to make it go away quickly. :thumbsup:

4. Unfortunately, it's in an hour and a half.
That's a good suggestion though.

5. Then you'll just have to be underhanded and
divert their attention with your sparkly eyes and beautiful smile. (You do have a nice smile, ya know.) Good luck, my friend. :thumbsup: :hug:

8. Get a washcloth as hot as you can stand it...
put it on the zit and apply pressure. It might help to shrink it enough to not be noticeable. That's what I do when my face turns on me like that.

11. Good advice here
also to keep it from bleeding cut off oxygen (this is the purely cosmetic short term solution) by putting a thin layer of petroleum jelly over it.

12. Take a big red sharpie, circle it, make an arrow pointing to it
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 09:45 AM by DS1
and write NOT A ZIT SO STOP LOOKING AT NOTHING YOU FUCKER AND YOU'RE WRONG AND I HATE YOU AND I HATE MYSELF AND JUST GIVE ME THIS JOB BEFORE I KILL EVERYONE on the other end of the arrow.

Works every time.

another alternative is I WAS FONDLED FOR PAY BY MY FATHER IN CHEAP MOTEL ROOMS UNTIL I WAS 22 YEARS OLD, AND IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME THIS JOB I'LL CUT OFF/OUT YOUR NAUGHTY BITS WITH A PIECE OF BROKEN MIRROR

That also gets me more attention than the other job candidates.

14. "Thank you so much for your time, Mr. Evil.
I'm afraid we've nothing at this time for which you'd be a good fit, however, we'd like to offer your zit a position at our front desk."

:hug:

Don't worry, Davey. You'll grow out of them. By the time you get to be in your 30's you won't even remember you ever had them.

16. I hate to tell you this but
I'm over thirty, and they still get me...rarely, but it happens, usually at the worst possible time.

Good luck with the job process. I'm waiting to hear on a job right now, and trying not to stress too much.

18. That answers my how's-your-day question.
But seriously, the rep will probably not even notice.

Don't let it rattle you.
