One of those moments where you will look back and laugh at it all

Yesterday, I went after work to speak with an executive recruiter who had a possible job lined up for me. I went to her office and introduced myself. Here was the extent of our conversation.

me: "Hi T, we spoke yesterday regarding the part time position."

T: "Oh yes, hi 'Jose,' let me see if I can get the paperwork together. I may have to leave a little early today."

me: "My name is Julio."

T: "Sorry. Julio I remember J calling me saying they're may be an issue with your working hours."

me: "I wasn't aware of that."

T: "Let me call J and see if she's in her office Jose."

Second girl walks in

T: "Hi S, will you be here after five today?"

S: "No, I have to leave early as well. Hi Mohammed J mentioned you would be passing by."

T: "It's, Jose"

me: "No, it's Julio"

T: "Julio spoke with J regarding the part time position."

S: "I was told there was a conflict of interest and that he wouldn't be able to fill the position."

T: Jose, I'm not sure what J said re: the position, but I would confirm with her first. Unfortunately, I have to leave early, I have your resume and if something comes up I'll notify you. Thanks for taking the time come by Jose and I'm sorry things didn't work out."

S: Bye Jose, good luck!"

I drove back home and I wasn't certain if I was upset about not being able to get the job or having to deal with two idiots who can't get Julio and Jose straight.
