Totally face-planted an interview today. I didn't have a chance to establish an in take with the company's hiring people. So I couldn't do the work interview. The boss lady said "You didn't make an appointment (with insert agency) I thought I made that crystal clear." I couldn't find the words to express that I had worked in SE Portland for...
the last two days, so I wouldn't have been able to have a meeting. We talked a little more and she said. "This raises a red flag to me that you can't follow instructions." Hello humiliation and shame my old friends. I talked down to all the time. I was willing to live on my parents couch for a full time job.
I told her and the agency I didn't think it would be a good fit. I could have stuck to it tried to reschedule a work interview, but it's hard to over come a bad first impression, I worry it would be an up hill battle to have her approval. I'm so embarrassed, maybe I'm being oversensitive, but I feel like she scolded me like a third grader. 
oh god I'm so sorry

That doesn't sound like a place you'd really want to work anyway, if they're that harsh to interviewees.
Oh, honey, I am so sorry. It does make me wonder why that position has been vacant for so long - maybe she treats everyone this way. Ugh, though, that's just so unprofessional of her.
Sounds like a good thing that you don't have to work with someone so rude and unkind. 
I'm sorry you had to go through that. But I agree with the rest of these folks. I don't think she'd be good to work for. 
Tanarian: This, she sounds awful, you don't want to work under her anyway, it'd be miserable.
Sorry. If I may make a suggestion: write a letter/email thanking them for the interview. Explain the situation, but make it clear that if they think you should are still to blame, then This isn't a good fit, and best of luck with the next candidate.
It may or may not help, but if they still judge you for it, then it would be a miserable place to work at.
greenworldgirl: Thanks my friend. 
Tanarian: Yeah I definitely made me past tense feel relieved a I didn't have learn about that after the fact.
inkblotted: My Mum said much the same thing. Also I thought about it after the fact too.
Tehanu: Thanks my friend. I'm definitely glad I don't have to find about it while I'm working.
Thanks my friend. I'm definitely glad I don't have to find about it while I'm working.
geekmonkey: Yep I agree. Never good to have a mean boss.
somnolent: Thanks Jessica
StereoNacht: ^_^ You can always make suggestions my friend I value your wisdom a lot. I did send her an email letting her know I didn't think I was a good fit.I also let the hiring/payroll agency know as well.
Today I'm still a bit low and have this sort of mental whiplash. I had been preparing myself for how things might change if I got this job. Primary being a 100% couching living person in a rural area, again, but now I feel like I need to mentally reconfigure my situation.
I'm sorry, that sounds awful! 
Do you think you'll make it out for Eclipse Phase game tonight?
Have you ever checked out any part time odd job freelancing websites like TaskRabbit? I don't know if you're close to enough people for that to work or not or if you'd want to
