I have a great story regarding interview attire (I think it's great, anyway):
Like a month ago I sat through a two hour "Vet School Interview Essentials Discussion" that some faculty at my undergrad college were putting on - most excruciating two hours of my recent existence.
Half of the time they talked, in great detail, about the do's and don'ts of interview attire. Basically, tattoos are bad, piercings are bad, trendy clothes are bad, being fat is bad, being too thin is bad, painted nails are bad.... etc. Pants on ladies are okay, but they did have to clarify that. Sadly, not joking. All I learned was that, surprise, conservative old people like conservative things and have way too many prevailing prejudices regarding the tastes of younger generations. Mind, blown.
Honestly, it was hard for me to take the rest of the discussion seriously after all that BS, especially the little snide remarks TWO of the presenters made about weight. One presenter didn't like "anorexics" and the other implied that fat people are inherently sloppy or lazy ("...don't look the part...").
I'm a little sad that I didn't have time to fill in the critique at the end. I would have suggested that they all increase their Metamucil dosages. Maybe next time all of that extra fiber could dislodge whatever superficial critter had crawled up and was obviously breeding in their asses. Then I could have signed it "Love, The Fat Chick at the Back."
