This happened on my second interview for a new roommate. I think I should devise a test where I spontaneously combust and ask them how they would handle an emergency more often! I’m fine and still laughing about the incident.

RIP Monarchy and Earthless shirts.

I couldn’t resist.
I received this from a head hunter this afternoon.
