Uhm

I've just done either a really smart thing or a really stupid thing. I blew off an interview for no good reason other than it all just felt WRONG. . . . . . .

The way I was approached, the info I received and didn't receive. It all just felt very wrong.
Maybe I'm losing it, you tell me.
I got this phone call late yesterday afternoon from this guy. He introduces himself as Whatever (only first name no surname), an HR manger for Xyz (really big company we've all heard of). Anyway he tells me he came across my cv on one of the sites I'm registered with and would like to meet with me. So far everything seems ok, no alarm bells. He then asks me, am I working at present, which I'm not followed by, do I have my own transport and oh that means I can meet him today. Yes I say, no problem, but what type of post is it. Oh no, we can discuss that when we meet, he says. He then asks me to bring a copy of my cv and id with me as he would like to see my cv and do I have my own transport. Not to worried yet maybe he never heard me when I answered him. Ok, he says. He'll get his PA to sms me the details of where to meet him and if I need to contact him I can on the number that he called on. And then his last comment which I didn't pay much attention to "oh and don't forget to dress nicely" So I'm sitting last night and this conversation keeps playing over and over in my head and it starts bugging me for some reason. And the more I think about it the more it's bugging me. Anyway I get up this morning get ready to go and the voice in the back of my head starts in on me again. Something is just not right and why the comment about dressing nicely. A couple of other things then start bugging me, it is hard to explain but it all just seems wrong and every fibre of my being is telling me don't go.

So I didn't . . . . .
