Ok, so an employment place gave my resume to a few places and I got a interview with one of them.
So the employment place is giving me directions to the other places office.
"Ok, go on route 220 where walmart is, and then turn left on the big hill and right at the three brick buildings. 2 of the buildings are facing eachother and one isn't. It's in the building that isn't facing one, and it's on the third floor. (except she way emphesized wal-mart. Made me think the office was gonna be in the sporting good department or something)."
"Uhh...do you have a street address?"
"No, but it's easy to find, you can't miss it! You can see the office buildings from the street!"
"err, ok."
So I am off to find this mythical office building which is unbound by the laws of street names. I get to the walmart and look for a big hill. Hmm, wallmart seems to be in the middle of it's own little valley...ok. I guess I'l just turn left here then.
*Turn left and drive for 5 miles*
Hmm, this isn't really up a hill, and I would have seen the office buildings by now.
*turn around*
Well, I guess I'll try the next left then.
*drives 5 miles that way*
ok, this isn't a hill either...
*by this time I am 25 minuets late*
ok, well I'll just have to call them and ask where it is again.
*goes back to walmart to use the payphone*
new directions: ok, go until you see a nursery on the left, and turn right right there. Err, ok.
*Repeates everything looking for a nursery this time*
I am now 50 minuets late and there are no nurserys to be seen. I'm also out of gas and don't have any money on me, so I head home.
When I get home the first thing I do is I look up the company name in the yelow pages, I find their address, I put it into mapquest and I see where the hell the place is.
Simple instructions:
Go down the 220, turn left on Sibel, go down sibel for half a mile and the office will be on the right, 1745 Sibel Dr.
Thanks a fucking lot for the absolute worst directions ever.
