Comic Relief

So, at the moment I'm going for a new job, a customer service position for a Government agency. As of half an hour ago I found out I'd gotten to the next stage of interviews (yay!), having not sucked in the group interview yesterday. Where I had a cold, and had to borrow a suit. Namely, my mum's. Funnily enough, as a waitress/mediocre musician I own not a skerrick of corporate wear. Now, my mum is a pretty stylin' woman (I believe the term is 'uncommonly fetching mama') as the photo below shall prove:



And she looks awesome in her suit. I, on the other hand, looked like I was playing dress ups:



I think I have to get used to this corporate clothing business (oh, and buy stuff what actually fits if I get the job).

PS Cepacol throat lozenges are the weirdest things ever. They're anaesthetic to make your throat go numb but they also do it to your mouth, which is the strangest feeling.
PPS Not to sound like a revhead, but HOW COOL was Top Gear Australia on Monday night! Driving hands and feet free around that Holden test track was rather awesome, as was lawn bowls with Astras.

Oh I think you look awesome! I have no corporate clothing to speak of either. And I hope to never have to wear it in my life!

Good Luck for the job!

And your mother is certainly one very stylin' lady :D
