you remind me of home

My mother is driving me crazy. I have a job interview tomorrow and my mother is harassing me about pantyhose.

Last time I went to an interview she complained that I wore black tights with my smart black suit (and bright red shirt!) because it made everything too dark. Which, alright, whatever. Maybe it did, but I don't see why she's insisting that I get up right now and go out in this miserable weather just to buy new stockings. I have perfectly serviceable pairs in a whole host of colours. Do they really have to be nude? I mean, I have no intention of sitting an interview wearing electric blue tights but if my pantyhose are a sheer coal or dark gray, I really don't see the problem with that.

I mean, I get that first impressions are important but I'm going for a job in the finance department of the government of Canada, not a fashion editor at Elle fucking magazine.
