Chief Resident Interviews

Nathan interviewed for Chief Resident today.  We were looking through his clothes last night for the perfect outfit but there was no Wal-Mart suit to be found in our closet.  This will be a longstanding joke with us and the OSF emergency medicine residency.  When Nathan intereviewed here nearly 2 1/2 years ago he lost his suit to interview in. He few in from another interview in MI and the flight attendent made him planeside check his bag because it wouldn't fit in the overhead compartment.  She said, "things never get lost when we plane side check them".  Well at 11:00pm we were at Wal-Mart on North Allen rd in Peoria searching for something that was appropriate for an interview.  Nathan didn't even have dress shoes, socks or clean underwear.  He didn't want to buy anything he didn't need so we left with only a suit. Did you know that Walmart carries suits?  The pants were 2 inches too short and the jacket was definitely not a good fit.  Tags and all, my husband Nathan went to his residency interview.  Two months later we found out that he landed the job.  I think he should have wore tennis shoes and a cheap Walmart suit today too for good luck.  Too bad we returned it after the first interview.
