after a two hour drive in suicide traffic i finally reach my destination. for days as today i am glad that i have good rain gear to wear. If I didn't the British weather would have soaked me to the bone. i park the bike on a specialised parking spot and take the helmet off. after a two hour ride i am glad to be getting off the bike , my legs feel like they need blood ... desperately. I lock my helmet on my bike after putting the rain protector over it. i put my raining clothes in specialised bag and it joins the helmet and gets attached too the bike. There is no way in he'll I would have walked in the building with that on , its good for rain ... but ridiculous to walk around in .. especially when its soaking wet.
i take one last glance towards my bike before giving the treacherous glass door my full attention. you cant blame me for taking precautions , i have walked into many doors in my life. most of them glass doors .. that said pull when i tried pushing and walking.
once i manage to actually walk safely inside and avoid collision with the door i am greeted At the reception by a woman. "Good day dear how can I help you "she smiles polite , she is giving of the grandmotherly vibes . i think i like her ! i shoot her a big smile before answering her .
"Im Emily tores , I got invited for a solicitation today" I say politely. The woman nods and starts to type something on her computer. "Ah yes , I can happily say you are selected . They should be waiting for you in the meeting room".
I nod politely and wait for the instructions to got to said room. this building is huge , no way in hell i will find it on my own. the woman behind the desks looks at me before realising she forgot to inform me about the location "Oh my ,I'm so sorry " she apologises quickly when she realises her mistake . " its the Second floor in the right dear , cant miss it. my apologies again ". i wave her of and give her a polite smile and a thank you before walking off towards the elevator.
the elevator .. is one slow motherfucker ... its taking ages too arrive!
Seriously I could be freaking out , like any normal person would in my case . They selected me , out of all people Me. they are even more insane then me for choosing me . but hey ... that's on their own. me.. I'm thrilled to even be considered But I have to keep my cool.
with a loud ding the lift announces its arrival on the ground floor. As soon as the doors open enough i squeeze in between the doors , my patience was on the verge of being gone for good . thats how long the elevator took in my opinion. I have been dying to get this job for ages , Not to mention preparing for it for 6 months. there were so many things they demanded from me . i haf to undergo tests of various kinds , see doctors of also various kinds . i was mentally evaluated till i thought my brain was on the table and foam was coming out my mouth.
I push the 2 button and wait for the lift to rise up too the level . surprisingly fast it dings ,announcing again that it arrived. i slowly get out and look around the hallway. "Conference room " I mumble under my breath looking around , it seems however that The bloody conference room seems to have disappeared . its that or someone magically enchanted the room to look like a wall.... to my good luck a guy walks around the corner and i mumble an " excuse me sir , can you show me the conference room by any chance ?" .
The man nods and points toward the second door on the right, i am saddened too admit ... it indeed is clearly labelled conference room.
Stupid me . i thank the man quickly and walk up the door. there i stop , hand raised ready to knock. i check my outfit quickly and ruffle my hair for good measurements. after a deep breath i knock 3 times.
