Da Grind

I decided I needed a haircut today before my interview.  I dunno what it is but getting a haircut is an ordeal for me.  I think it's the whole staring at yourself in the mirror for 20 minutes while someone has cutting tools near your head and is attempting small talk. This small talk can be even more painful if the person can barely speak English.
" what your name?"
" It's Roy nice to meet you.Yours?"
"Rose? your name Rose?"
" Um, no. It's Roy what's yours?"
"Elroy? you no work today?"
"I'm actually heading to a job interview"
"Oh good you no work today. very nice day"
"Yeah it's actually kind of warm. I'm sorry I didnt get your name?"
(ignores me and stops cutting my hair to watch whats happening on TV- scene of Colorado cop beating up some doosh on a cell phone)
"What happened Elroy?" cuz apparently I have been watching a more detailed account of whats happening on the TV than her.
I also at this point give up on getting her name... "Looks like this police officer is beating a person on a cell phone for no reason. They are reenacting Rodney King for fun."
"Oh. nice day."
" Not if you were the guy holding the cell phone..."
" Very warm though huh Elroy"- obviously not getting my attempt at humor.

Turns out her name was Caitlyn.

Interview was this presentation slash series of exams. Then I interviewed with a sales manager who supposedly is gonna get me to speak with an underwriting one. Although there they call underwriters account specialist. Whatever. I passed on Carina's advice of cookies (because my cookies suck) and went with D's advice of Red and Shawshank Redemption.

This is Masta Ace's Da Grind for those of you working on this nice warm day.
