SMILING vs. MUZU

I recently went to a job interview at a staffing agency here in Las Vegas. As I arrived at the building, I was immediately impressed with the professional look of the place, along with a very friendly security guard who gave me directions to the right office suite of the staffing agency I was looking for. It's amazing what a smile can do, immediately followed by a "thank you".

I get to the right floor and find the office suite. I walk into the office feeling even more impressed with the ambiance it had. It was very cozy, yet professional. Surprisingly, there is no receptionist at the desk. I looked around to see if there was anyone around. I saw a woman in a small office and smiled at her and said hello, hoping she would help me. But she freaking closes the door in my face! WTF?! What was that all about??? Okay, I guess I'll just wait patiently. I had about 5 seconds to get myself together to remove the "muzu" look on my face after what just happened. I was thinking: Lanya na matapang palaoan!

"Oh hi there!" a friendly voice said. I turned and another woman helps me. I have my interview with her and we even had a friendly conversation afterwards. She tells me they're short-staffed and I offer my assistance. Unfortunately, the opening they have is in accounting....probably not my best area. I couldn't help but wonder if they even had a receptionist because I didn't see one.

The woman who interviews me walks me to the reception area where I see a woman sitting at the receptionist desk. OH. MY. GOSH. remember that woman that shut the door in my face? Well guess what? She was the freaking receptionist!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I smiled as I said goodbye and she gave me the snobbiest look I've ever seen. She still didn't manage to smile or say goodbye! I couldn't believe that woman worked there. She sucks eggs!

Okay, back to my job hunt....
