LENNY
“Why did I agree to a job interview in this weather, and so close to the
holidays?”
I spoke out loud but it wasn’t as though the voice in my head—that often
told me I was a fool—was going to answer. And I didn’t have an invisible
friend who accompanied me everywhere who could warn me before I made
a bad decision. Wonder what that would be like? Peering into the back seat,
I discovered it as empty as I expected. Only my overnight bag and an empty
water bottle—that wasn’t going to help me.
“So this is on me?” My voice echoed around the car, confirming my
solitude. I’d been on my own for a few years, my parents having passed
away in a car accident, so I was used to figuring things out for myself.
Didn’t make me miss them less, especially when my friends were going
home to their folks for weekends.
The job interview itself wasn’t a bad idea. I was perfect for the position.
Everything on my resumé was relevant and was almost a stepping stone
leading and pointing to the marketing manager vacancy that I hoped would
eventually be mine.
The head of HR had offered to conduct the interview after the holidays, but
I suspected other candidates would take earlier slots, before the company
closed between Christmas and New Year. They wouldn’t have been put off
by a crowded plane or snow on the roads in order to get to the interview.
They were hungry for the position, and I had to be too. So, instead of sitting
in front of a fire sipping a hot drink, my car was plowing through snow on a
pretty much deserted highway.
There were occasional pinpricks of light on either side of the road,
indicating a building with people inside who were probably warm and
toasty. People with families that included parents, a significant other, and
maybe kids.
I sighed and concentrated on driving. Not for the first time, I raged at the
company refusing to do remote interviews, especially at this time of year,
when planes were crowded and hotel bookings were scarce, and the rooms
themselves were either expensive or gross.
My headlights picked up a road sign showing the distance to my
destination: one hundred miles. On a fine day or even a summer’s night,
that last stretch would have been a breeze. Pleasant even. I would have
arrived in the city in time to check in to my hotel, grab dinner, and head to
bed early so I’d be well-rested for the interview.
