better late than never? evidently doesn't fly with everyone.

i went to the interview. my most typical problem came up- i estimated that it would take LESS time than it actually did- so i was about 8 minutes late. the lady who i interviewed with didn't disregard it like the last lady i interviewed with either. she said, "typically we stay ON TIME here and we don't like when our workers are late. clients might have appointments or someone might be absent and we're just looking for someone to fill in for them." i left about 15-20 minutes before the actual appointment and didn't estimate traffic time. she told me about the time when she hadn't had that particular job and was working other jobs and had to be there in like 30 minutes and she said she woke up like 2 hrs before the interview time to make sure she was prepared. i'm thinking that was more like a lecture than an interview but i'm just gonna take her experience and try to prepare myself. other than that- i had a good interview. the lady praised my wardrobe and said it was "very professional" and that's the way she preferred her workers to dress. she stressed how important it was for people that work there to be empathetic. i don't have a problem being empathetic at all- which is unlike certain family members of mine but they weren't interviewing and i highly doubt they're cut out for the job i was interviewing for anyway. just gonna have to stick to the salon. i forgot when or if she said she'd be getting back to me- usually when that happens, the person never ends up updating me on the job anyway. i have another job interview tomorrow- i know i said that my job coach told me about the job at costco and she said that i didn't seem so thrilled about that job but since this other job interview came along and i seemed to be more interested in that particular job- i should stick with the job I was interested in. so i'm going to the other interview which i'm pretty sure is a receptionist job at some clinic. i'm double checking after this when i estimate when i should call my ride. i might leave about 45 minutes before because i think it takes 20 minutes to get there but i'm gonna double check. it was kinda annoying because the lady who was interviewing me asked me how long i had been working while using my cane. i didn't wanna come off as rude and tell her to look at my resume but i did mention when the interview was over, i mentioned how i was in a car accident when i was 16 and i was in the passenger seat while my friend was drunk driving and i was in a coma for 6 months and in a wheelchair for a lot of my life and i slowly got stronger and finally i'm walking with a cane and nothing happened to the driver because he was drinking but his friend in the back seat died and the lady said, "..and you're here with a cane working on getting a job.." i'm not sure how to take that. i didn't tell her that to get sympathy, i told her so she'd understand my situation and consider all the hard work i've been through just to get where i am and why i was in the condition i was in. i suppose it's up to her if she's gonna hire me. just gonna have to keep applying places.
