Work Too soon?

Too soon?

jobless - - United States

Today, I had a phone interview with my potential new boss. I was getting excited about the prospects of landing a great job. I had nailed every question the man asked me and right after he told me he'll call me tomorrow if he wants me to come in I sweetly said, "Talk to you tomorrow! Love you!" FML

Today, I handed my resume in to a cafe that was hiring. I returned home and noticed a voicemail, it was one from the boss for a trial. I eagerly returned the call, showing my enthusiasm. Without thinking, I ended with "ok love you. *GASP* ah, BYE" and quickly hung up. FML

Today, I went for a lunch interview for my dream job. The interview was great and at the end, I tried to seal the deal by complimenting my future boss. I said, "You're really hardworking. Do you always work on a Saturday?" He looked at me, smiled and then wrote something down. Today's Friday. FML

Today, I was talking to my boss when I let slip, "Love you, bye," at the end of a phone call out of habit. We both paused, and then he hung up without saying a word. FML

Classic blunder

Today, I had a phone call from a company I was applying to. It was going really well, until the call ended. Now since I'm so used to calling my girlfriend, I ended the call with, "Love you, bye." And if things couldn't get any worse, I started swearing to myself. The recruitment officer heard me. I forgot to hang up. FML

Falling at the first hurdle

Today, I went to a job interview super early and giddy with enthusiasm. While waiting in the lobby, I struck up a friendly conversation with a bloke who was also waiting around in a suit. I jokingly told him, “Good luck mate, but I’m getting this job.” Turns out he was the hiring manager. FML

Today, I had an important job interview. The interviewer really seemed to like me. Instead of hiring me, he asked me out on a date. FML

Today, I was talking to my fiancé on the phone. I said, "Alright, see you in 10 minutes babe." My boss must have thought I was talking to him because he said, "Alright (my name), see you later." FML

Today, as I was leaving the office, I heard my very cute coworker behind me say "Hey gorgeous, where are you off to?" I turned around with a smile and said "About to hit up happy hour." He was on the phone with his wife. I'm calling in sick tomorrow. FML

Haha, that really makes sense though, since it is mostly a reflex to say 'Love you' at the end of a phone conversation. But perhaps it'll get you brownie points? "No, no, I want to hire that one guy. He said he loves me."

Haha! This reminds me of a Gossip Girl episode. Blair is trying to impress the interviewer in order to get into Yale, so she ends up kissing him on his cheek as she walks out the door. Awkward first impression!

The real FML comes when he gives you the job and expects you to "love" him regularly.

I've done shit like this. Makes me gag thinking about it, but I've said it to my sister called her "babe" because it was a habit I had with my girlfriend. Not sure why. The closing conversation thing I understand. Ending phone conversations can be uncomfortable. Do I say bye, do they first? Then there's the weird 'someone has to break this conversation up first' preparing statement like "Well... I've gotta get in the shower and go to work, so I better go.." And those ALWAYS sound fake.

It wouldn't be that weird if you were a chick. Too bad we don't know, heh. Either way it wouldn't be devastating. "Opps, sorry, habit." Even if you were a guy. It'd be an awkward laugh, but a laugh at that. :) Hope you get the job haha. #8 though, haha. Probablyyy.
