True story. Trans States couldn't PS me in for the interview...I lived far away from anywhere they flew. I was interviewing the Monday after Thanksgiving last year, and I figured I would NEVER have gotten to the interview had I taken the space-available. Sooo...I figured I didn't want to not be in the right place at the right time, so I up and packed my apartment into my car, gave my notice, and drove 2500 miles to interview LoL...
About half-way through the drive I looked at all my crap in the car and realized I was NOT going to drive all the way back home haha. But I was fairly confident I'd do just fine (hence the radical move)...and did end up getting the job. The rest is history.
