Nope!
It's so close to being finished. I need to get it to my friend's house and then put the shingles on the roof. We've just been finding ourselves very unmotivated to do that.
Good luck, hope you enjoy working there too if you get the job!
Nope!

Well, if everything goes horribly wrong, you can finish off the doghouse & move in yourself!
If nothing else, I will enjoy getting off at 4pm, never working weekends, and actually having dental insurance so I can get this damned cavity taken care of.
Oh, and polo shirts. I will wear the hell out of polo shirts. I will buy them in all the colors of the rainbow, and it will be glorious.
Speaking of, I went out and bought some interview clothes this afternoon, and I am not thrilled about the tie. I couldn't find one that I really liked, so I settled for something that was only okay.
The doghouse is such a piece of crap, I don't even want the dogs using it!

Seriously, ask your dentist if he/she will give you a discount paying cash. I haven't carried dental insurance in 4 years and I actually save money paying him cash for regular checkups and any work to be done.
Sober, conservative, classic will do you fine for a job interview. Don't worry the detail too much. Good luck!
Qapla', RoJo.
Yeah...but I wanted a really cool tie.
I found plenty of ties that matched, but none of them made me go, "Wow, that's an awesome tie!" I have a yellow shirt and dark brown pants, and I wanted to find a cool tie that was neither yellow nor brown, but I failed.
Very little contrast. Ugh.
If you're wearing dark brown pants, either match that with an equally brown jacket (essentially, a suit) or go with a navy blue jacket and a white shirt, probably with a blue tie. Yellow shirt and dark brown slacks just screams "used car salesman working a shady corner lot."
Naturally, Holdfast is going to come in here and disprove everything I've said.
Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about anything I've bought today. I think the lighting at Kohls tricked me.
I really just wanted the dark brown pants. I might end up wearing them with a different shirt. I also bought some nice green pants, so I might so that, too. I will absolutely not be wearing a jacket as 1) it's going to be 85 degrees outside, and 2) from what I've been told by other people who work there, the dress code is very lax. I would probably be fine wearing khakis and a polo.

Yellow with green slacks? That screams retired used car salesman.
I really don't think a yellow shirt works with either of those colors. I think I'd probably go with a white or cream colored shirt with either pair of pants.
What does the tie look like?

Nah, I agree 100% with both your options (brown suit, or go for navy jacket and white shirt/blue tie).
Coincidentally, I've an example of the latter combo that I wore just recently, though clearly it's a bit dressier than you'd need for your interview. The Sartorialist recently featured a dapper fellow pulling off a cool brown suit business look.
Alternatively, since it's summer, you could probably get away with a cream linen jacket and open collar, esp. if it's a very informal workplace (the jacket will ramp up the formality sufficiently for you to dispense with the tie, though personally I prefer suit & tie for any office or professional job interview, regardless of the actual working environment, unless specifically told otherwise).
I have a personal dislike of yellow shirts anyway, because they don't work with my skin tone, but in any event I find them a bit dodgy unless they're a bright canary yellow gingham for a casual shirt or really, really, really pale (to the point of being cream/ivory/off-white, basically).
I didn't buy the green pants to go with the yellow shirt (which is a very bright yellow, btw). I just bought them because I felt like I should have green pants.
I've come to the conclusion that I hate everything I bought today.
They're all fine on an individual level, and I will keep them, but I will not wear them together. I have a much better outfit that I have worn before and that always looks good, so I will wear that (grey pants, blue shirt, red tie).

My problem today was that I didn't try anything on. I didn't even realize that I hadn't tried anything on until I got back in my car. I just tried it on a few minutes ago at home and realized it looked awful.
Now I'm glaring at my closet trying to convince myself that my green pants will work with my lavender shirt. I feel like they should...somehow.

They probably will, if they're of a similar hue (ie equally dark or equally light). For instance lime/acid green and pastelly lilac or forest green trousers and a dark, almost purple, lavender.
Not for an interview, mind!
That owner is an imbecile.
