Odd shoes!!!

I could tell you 100 embarrassing situations I've experienced, but it would take you forever to read them, so...

When I was about 23, I had a job enterview at the company where my mum used to work. I had arranged to meet the person I was supposed to talk to at 9AM. And since my mum was going to the same place some time before, I decided to take a ride with her.
She got to work at about 8AM. So she woke me up at something past 7.

I was very sleepy and stayed in bed just for a feeeeeeew more minutes. But... those minutes became half an hour and she stormed into my bedroom literally pushing me up and helping me grab my stuff, like my bag and so. I got dressed in a flash and picked up my shoes to wear in the car.

Well, I was still a bit sleepy but I managed to get ready until we got to the gate of the company, where she dropped me. I talked to the guard in charge, giving him my ID and telling him who I should see there. He asked me to sit on a bench near the person's office and wait because this person hadn't arrived yet.

When I leaned my body in order to sit, I looked at my feet and I noticed that I was wearing two different coloured shoes!!!! I used to have two identical, except for the colour, pairs of shoes: one black, one brown. I couldn't believe my eyes.

How come I did such a thing in a job interview. Well, I counted on the fact that the interviewer in sitting behind a desk and won't have much time to pay so close attention to my feet. That's what happened!!!

After the interview, I had to go back home, but I had no money. I called my mum, but she wasn't there. So I had go home walking and wearing different coloured shoes.
