Hilarious job interview

So I do accounting as my "real" job and am in the process of building up a client base.  In a small town, every contact counts, so I responded to a position that a friend referred to me. 

Email sent: 10:27  You know, the whole "I am responded to your advertisement" kind of professional email, interested in the position you have open.

Phone rang: 10:29: Unknown number. Usually I don't answer these because our number is painfully close to the local cash advance type of place, and sadly it is usually someone who needs to bring in a payment.  But this time I picked up.   It was "the job". 

And I've never been asked for an interview quite like this: "Just brush your teeth and come on down".  Yes, really!  I responded (truthfully) that I had just walked the dog in the morning heat, and would need to do a little more than brush my teeth, but he said come on down whenever. 

So I did.  And I'm glad I did.  Not for the job, because it's not really a good fit for me right now.  But I met a really nice person, made a good contact, and shared some stories about our lovely town and our families. 

All in all, in was a fun morning.  I really love living in a small town.
