The next voting adventure

because I can't be trusted to dress myself....at least for things that are important and at which you may be judged on appearance.

Okay, I am trying to figure out what to wear for a 2 hour interview at a public library. These are potential options. Any advice, suggestions, comments appreciated. The caveats are that since I'm paying to travel to the interview, I don't really have a budget for buying interview clothes. All of my suits & jackets are more appropriate to cooler weather.

This is my other question, though. So far, the weather forecast has the high for interview day in the lower to mid 70s. Is this still too hot for wool? Or would it look out of place in the summer? That could open up a few other options.

Option 1 - taken with flash so the colors are a bit off - is a short sleeve jacket too casual?

Option 2 - is a dress appropriate for an interview? (again taken with flash)

Option 3 - like option 1 but different skirt
Option 4 - Skirt from option 3, jacket from options 1, 2, 3, different untucked shirt

Option 5 - skirt from option 1 with the matching jacket. The jacket (and skirt) desparately need to be ironed. The jacket would need some sort of alteration, as it just seems too baggy/frumpy. The shirt underneath doesn't seem to work, either.

So, give me your thoughts and suggestions (email me or post comments on the blog). If none of these seem appropriate, let me know that, too, so I can develop Plan S. I can post pics of wooly things if necessary. Since it's 97 with 60+ percent humidity, wooly things only come out if everything here gets voted down. (temp also explains lack of anything done to hair)

Random Stuff

My project at work is helping make photocopies of the nomination materials to go out to the faculty. Lots of copies - like 19,929 of them. I will be working tomorrow and on Friday afternoon, and maybe over the weekend. Hopefully this will be remembered when I take off the Tuesday before Thanksgiving...

Brenda sent me a birthday present, which I got today. A calendar of treehouses around the world. Someday when I become a clairvoyant pirate/writer/hermit, I will live in a treehouse instead of a cave.

Indiana has early voting (?? - I don't know), so since I'm registered to vote here, I will be voting tomorrow. I am trying to have good thought about the election. I have also made sure my passport is still current (good until Dec 2010, just in case).

I have a phone interview scheduled next week for the Alaska job. I'm alternating between excitement and nervousness (as in a lot of random smiling for no reason, followed by feelings of dread and nausea). If nothing else, at least some response has happened to one of my applications, so I take this as a sign that at least on paper I'm not a dork (no guarantees about in person ;-)

I am baffled by the Dewey Decimal system of classification, and can only hope that the mysteries become clearer before my assignment is due.

If I had roughly 17 years with nothing scheduled, I MIGHT be able to catch up on all the things I would like to do.

It's still not fall here. It's been in the 70s and 80s. boo.
