Just my luck!

Murphy plays a very large role in my life. Murphy as in “Murphy’s Law” I mean. ;) For instance: With the children going back to school, I decided that it was time to get back into the workforce. I want a new car among other things and now that I am a permanent resident, I can get a car loan. IF I have a job! So, I’ve been sending out resumes to a (very) few selective jobs just to get a feel for the market and maybe do a few practice interviews. No big hopes really, I’m pretty easy…If I get it, I get it. If not, oh well.

The moment my mother indicated that she would be visiting for a month, Murphy’s Law dictated that I would get a callback for one of the afore mentioned jobs. In true Murphy style, this morning not a hour or two after confirming her flight details, I get a call from one of my “top pick” jobs and they’d like to schedule an interview for this week.

DILEMNA

Do I go and stipulate that I cannot start until at least the week before Mum leaves (giving me three weeks to show her around) or Do I turn down the interview entirely and begin my search again on Mum’s departure?
