One Step Closer, I Think

Still not wanting to jinx this, but I'm just too excited not to say anything....

I got called back for a second interview. I came home on Friday to find a message on the machine letting me know I needed to call to pick a time for the second interview. Of course, it was after five, so all I could do was leave a message.

Funny story...I decided to reiterate, in the message, the number I could be most easily reached. About two hours after I had left the message, I realized I somehow managed to tell them a phone number that was a mix of my home phone and my sister's cell phone number. Needless to say, I cannot be reached at that number, and I had to call back the next day and leave another message that supplied the correct phone number. To say the least, I feel a little foolish.

To my own defense, I had the same phone number my entire life until I went to college. That phone number changed every year, but I still didn't get good at remembering new numbers. Now that I have a cell phone, remembering numbers is completely obsolete as long as I get people onto my contacts list. In conclusion, there was a very logical explanation (that doesn't include my own incompetence) why I somehow rambled off a non-existent phone number to a potential employer. Right?

I just hope those who are considering hiring me, just chuckle to themselves as they listen to the message and still decided to call me back.
